The Upgrade Yo Sh*t Podcast

The Upgrade Yo Sh*t Podcast is NOT your normal podcast. It was started by Coach Rich Thurman ( Coach_RT3 ) and Nat Viranond as a place to discuss Strength Training, Mobility Training thought process with a hint or Social Issues. This is raw uncut and unfiltered dialogue that doesn’t conform to the “default” style and system in place. Rich & Nat take the mask and the gloves off and speak from the heart of the cultural norms they grew up within.

S2 Episode 2: Get A Grip

June 14, 2021 • The Upgrade Guys • Season 2 • Episode 2

What is it like to be "White Passing" in America? We see Barack Obama as a mixed race man and because of the color of his skin he's considered black. Like it or not, there is inherently racist bias that colors the lens by which we see him. But what happens when you are mixed race, but phenotypically do not seem to look Black?

Gil Goodman aka @squeezus is a grip competitor and owner of Barrel Strength Systems which fabricates grip training equipment. The Grip Competitor community is quite a niche community and a very demographically homogenous one. Coach RT3 met Gil a few years ago when Gil invited him to Nashville to conduct a Steel Mace Workshop. Sit back, buckle up and ride with us on this episode of The Upgrade Yo Shit Podcast!
