It's Supposed to be Heavy | HEAVYISH Method By Jermiah Blount
IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE HEAVY is a podcast about strength, longevity, discipline, and doing hard things well.
Hosted by Jermiah Blount, creator of the HEAVYISH Method and strength coach based in Franklin, Tennessee, the show explores what it really means to build strength that lasts — physically, mentally, and emotionally.
This isn’t fitness hype, gimmicks, or quick fixes.
It’s conversations about:
• strength training for real life
• aging powerfully
• movement, recovery, and resilience
• coaching philosophy
• discipline and mindset
• health, business, leadership, and longevity
Whether you’re an experienced lifter, a busy professional, or someone simply trying to stay strong for life, this podcast is built for people who believe that growth comes from resistance.
Because in training — and in life —
it’s supposed to be heavy.
