MEAT The Lifting Dead Army's official STRENGTH COACH, Roger "The Backwoods Berserker" Bailey. In this long overdue podcast we talk all things heavy lifting, strongman, carnivore diets, keto diets, carbohydrates, supplementation, and training all types of freaks to be their strongest selves. 

THIS MAY BE THE ONLY SABBATH SUNDAY PODCAST IN HISTORY THAT WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT BLACK SABBATH, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULDN'T LISTEN TO BLACK SABBATH TODAY. Also, that doesn't mean we don't talk about the usual killer stuff like RACING IN THE MOUNTAINS, training, welding, Ghost, Halloween, Busta Rhymes's Mortal Kombat Fatality, and morgue hugely important information. 

THANKS FOR LISTENING, FREAKS!
