The Barbell Calling

What if getting stronger wasn’t about chasing six-packs or selfies—but about taking control of your health, your confidence, and your future? Welcome to The Barbell Calling, where Starting Strength Coaches Josh Wells and JD Shipley pull back the curtain on what real strength training looks like—and why it works when everything else doesn’t. Each week, Josh and JD tackle the myths, fears, and questions that keep people stuck: “Do I need to get in shape before I start?”“What if I’m too old, too injured, or too busy?”“Is barbell training safe for me?” You’ll hear real conversations, practical coaching advice, and powerful client stories that prove it’s never too late to get strong. Whether you’re a complete beginner, a frustrated gym-goer, or someone just trying to feel better and move easier—this show will teach you how strength transforms more than your body…it transforms your life. Real strength. Real coaching. Real results.That’s The Barbell Calling.
