Today we have a first of its kind episode in BarBend Podcast history, because it’s the first time we’ve ever had both members of a married couple on the show! We’re talking to weightlifter, kettlebell specialist, and trainer Rebecca Rouse. Her husband — Joel Del Rosario — appeared on the podcast about two years ago! I sat down with Rebecca to talk about training in kettlebells and building a following there, making the transition to weightlifting, and tips for finding new coaches and training centers when you travel around or move frequently.
(Listen to our episode with Joel here.)
In this episode of the BarBend Podcast, host David Thomas Tao talks to Rebecca Rouse about:
- Getting husband and wife on the podcast (2:00)
- Transitioning out of gymnastics (5:00)
- Kettlebell misconceptions (8:10)
- Transitioning to weightlifting (13:00)
- “I’m programmed to set a really high bar for myself” (17:30)
- Finding the right coaches, and what happens if you move (22:00)
