Welcome to the MaxOut Podcast, with your hosts Vin and Will, occasionally featuring guests, we will discuss everything we love and hate about lifting and the gym along with everything in between!
Will sits down once again with content creator and college football player Jon Seaton.

Jon also discusses in-depth what it is like being a non-scholarship athlete in the NCAA.
Will sits down with powerlifter and former collegiate wrestler Ethan Goss. They discuss powerlifting and weightlifting and how they apply to sports, as well as what life is like as a college athlete balancing their school's sport and competitive lifting outside of it.
Will sits down with Jon Seaton, a class of 2024 defensive lineman at Elon University (@jonseaton on TikTok).

This is definitely an episode that is not to be missed!
Will sits down with friend, teammate, and motivational TikToker Carmen Sorrentino (@carmsorrentino on TikTok). They have a deep conversation regarding the current state of the fitness industry as a result of social media, the lessons they've learned and things they wish they could tell their past selves, and ultimately give advice to current high schoolers or anyone struggling to find motivation to put forth the extra effort to better themselves. This serious, emotion-fueled discussion is something you won't want to miss.
