Why Your Deadlift Is Stuck (And How to Fix It)
Aug 24, 202615 minS1
Most people can’t deadlift 225 pounds because they’re missing the details that matter before the bar ever leaves the floor. From finding the “sweet spot” in your setup to overcoming weak grip strength, a few simple adjustments could completely change your deadlift. Coach Jermiah Blount, creator of the HEAVYISH Method in Franklin, Tennessee, explains why consistency matters more than choosing the “perfect” time to train. He breaks down proper deadlift form, modifications for people with back concerns, and the recovery factors that could be holding back your strength. Finally, he shares how to build grip strength and progress safely from trap-bar deadlifts to pulling with a traditional barbell. 00:00 — Meet Coach Jermiah and the HEAVYISH Method 00:15 — Balancing workout consistency with enjoying life 02:55 — Morning versus evening training 03:42 — Why the deadlift matters 04:16 — Finding the deadlift setup “sweet spot” 06:31 — Who should modify or avoid traditional deadlifts 09:15 — Breaking plateaus and tracking progress 12:12 — Overcoming fear with safer progressions “Finding the best spot in the day for you to work out and be consistent with is the day you should work out.” “Even if it’s a half a pound, it’s more than what you just did.” “A good lift starts before the bar ever leaves the floor.” Enjoyed this episode?

Most People Will NEVER Squat 1.5x Their Body Weight... Here’s Why
Aug 17, 202614 minS1
Most people will never squat one and a half times their body weight—not because they lack strength, but because their ego, inconsistency, and poor form keep getting in the way. The real secret isn’t lifting heavier every session; it’s knowing when to push, when to slow down, and how to train safely enough to keep progressing. Coach Jermiah Blunt, creator of the Heavy-ish Method in Franklin, Tennessee, explains why consistency and proper form are essential for building lasting strength. He discusses how ego lifting can compromise safety, when supportive equipment may be helpful, and why strong legs matter in everyday life. Finally, he shares how adding one rep at a time can break training plateaus and why reaching a one-and-a-half-times-body-weight squat may take nine to ten months. 00:00 — Meet Coach Jermiah and the Heavy-ish Method 00:21 — Why consistency matters more than hype 01:05 — How ego lifting sabotages progress 03:38 — Why proper form must always come first 05:09 — When to use belts, wraps, and supportive gear 06:52 — Managing fear and creating a safer setup 09:09 — Why building strong legs matters 10:57 — Breaking plateaus and setting realistic timelines “Don’t let that affect your lifting. Don’t let that affect your safety.” “Proper form is absolutely key over anything.” “Your body has no reason to get strong if you never ask it.” Enjoyed this episode?

From simple macro math like the 10-gram protein rule to debunking trends around "dead water" and dirty bulking, Blount offers realistic advice for everyday strength builders.

When most people decide they want to get in shape, the very first thing they do is start running but what if hammering out massive amounts of cardio is actually the worst thing you can do for your body and your goals? In this episode of the It's Supposed to be Heavy podcast, strength coach Jermiah Blount explains why relying solely on cardio is an overrated and potentially harmful approach to weight loss and overall health.

You're not really burning calories anymore." "Right now there's nothing on the market that's just absolutely gonna lengthen your life more than just lifting weights, watching your nutrition, getting your water and recovery. And it is super cheap... [it] is not gonna be as expensive as the medical bills you will eventually pay from not doing it." Enjoyed this episode?

If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities.

Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
