*PLS CONSULT TIMESTAMPS*

Patrick Maguire is a professional powerlifter, voice actor, Ghost Clash broadcaster, polyphasic sleep researcher, and aspirational foot model. He has totaled 2342 raw with wraps, sporting competition bests of a 1014 squat, a 635 bench, and a 771 deadlift. His training ebook will be available on Kindle this week; he’s also writing a really epic progression fantasy that involves familiars, bone runes, fighting pits, and possibly a pro-garlic vampiric conspiracy. You can find him at  @FullPrimalPower  on Youtube and Instagram.

Stay tuned for the back half of our interview next week.
