The guys hang out with their buddy Josh Mason and talk the awesome start to their strength block, recap John and Matthew’s awesome performance at their latest powerlifting meet, and discuss some cool things the Mississippi Department of Wildlife and Fishery has coming this year. **FUN FACT** Cathhead Distillery, who makes Old Soul Bourbon, was the first distillery to open in Mississippi when the state repealed prohibition in 1966, being the last state in the Union to do so.

The guys FINALLY finish their treacherous journey through body-building style, high repetition training in search for the elusive “Pump” and discuss their woes along the way while looking forward to the heavier weights and lower reps of the coming Strength Block.

The guys ring in 2024 with their favorite local powerlifter, John Dailey. John gives excellent advice for beginner lifters, sheds light on how training changes with age, and set his 2024 goal to take his bench dominance in the USPA 125 kg Masters class to the next level this year. John will be competing at the upcoming Revolution Fitness Powerlifting Championship in Hattiesburg, Mississippi on January 20. Come and support John as he sets another state bench record!

The guys link up with Dakota’s twin brother Daniel to discuss Daniel’s victory at Mississippi’s Strongest Man, the horrors of hypertrophy and the key to core strength….all while sampling the grocery store’s finest selection of Eggnog. Follow Daniel on Instagram @redmanmajure_72 and check out his fishing vlog @majure_fishing **This episode is dedicated to our fellow swoldier Neal, who somehow doesn’t think eggnog is gross**

The guys discuss hypertrophy training, Bloody Mary’s, whole milk vs chocolate milk, and their abysmal dietary habits.

The guys chat with Mississippi strongman Thomas Martin, who offers excellent training and competition advice for lifters at all levels, as well as his inspirational return to the upper echelon of strongman after a major injury. Thomas will be competing at Nationals next September, and the guys are super eager to track his progress leading into the big meet. Give Thomas a follow on Instagram @t_lift93 and follow his journey to nationals!

The guys take on the Third Annual Bigfoot Birthday Bash in Natchez. Josh Mason and Brad “Willy B” Taylor jump into the conversation and share their thoughts on Bigfoot, Natchez, and the jocularities inherent to every boys trip. FUN FACT: Jacob calls Dakota “Force de Majeure” because “La Force Majeure” is a French legal term for an act of God for which a party to a contract cannot be held responsible, translated literally as “Greater Force”.
