EFR 564: Why We Started Lifting with Maxx Chewning

<p>Maxx and Chase return to talk about their ten-plus year journey in the world of fitness.</p> <p>The younger Chewning kicks things off by reflecting on his love for fitness. He only started lifting after he was spurred on by his <em>bros</em> in college to hit the gym. It didn’t take long for Maxx’s total disinterest to turn into a daily non-negotiable. “It was something that I made fun of, then got into. It literally changed my entire life.”</p> <p>Now over a decade into the game, Maxx looks back at the many accomplishments he’s garnered as a powerlifter. He says he’s just about ready to retire from powerlifting now that he’s on the verge of hitting numbers that few at his age and in his weight class have matched.</p> <p>Overall, Maxx and Chase agree that <em>community</em> has become a stronger priority over hitting PR after PR. Maxx shares how he aims to approach his gym sessions moving forward.</p> <p>Follow Maxx <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/maxxchewning/">@maxxchewning</a></p> <p>Follow Chase <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/chase_chewning/">@chase_chewning</a></p> <p> </p> <p><em><strong>Episode resources:</strong></em></p> <ul> <li>Get your free WHOOP 4.0 activity tracker band at <a href= "http://join.whoop.com/everforward">https://join.whoop.com/everforward</a></li> <li>Save 15% on Stabilize by Sugarbreak with code CHASE at <a href= "http://www.Sugarbreak.com/chase">www.Sugarbreak.com/chase</a></li> <li>Learn more at <a href= "https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/564">https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/564</a> </li> </ul>
