Marty reflects on handling lifters like Don Mills and Kirk Karwoski and the early spread of kettlebell training—translating these moments into practical insights for building stronger squat/bench/deadlift training environments today. We connect history to takeaways on attempt selection, equipment choices, and smart cardio that supports recovery without blunting strength.
