On this episode of @champandthetramp, the guys chat with King Tolo, a Florida-based bodybuilder, gym owner, military veteran, and fitness influencer, about what it really takes to live at the extreme edge of physical performance. They get into injuries, stem cells, peptides, and the behind-the-scenes reality of modern bodybuilding culture. The conversation drifts into combat sports, influencer hype, and why most people misunderstand what elite physiques actually cost. Raw, unfiltered, and not for casual fitness fans.
