Joe and Lu discuss how and why personal gym equipment is used. When should a belt be worn? Are knee sleeves necessary? Do these things help prevent injury/improve performance or are they just fashion statements and trendy? There may be no "right" answer, but there are definitely good answers and shitty ones! 

Lu & Joe discuss where gym personal records stack up against lifts completed on the platform. Where and why would a gym lift count? Why are some vehemently against them? Is a gym lift not something that helps benefit on the field? Or does this merely apply to those sports where the barbell is part of the sport?

Lu & Joe confront the attacks on what are perceived as incorrect form or stance regarding the deadlift. These attacks range from keyboard warriors to sport-specific athletes declaring what they believe is considered proper or allowable. The hosts share their knowledge as to why they disagree and the frustrations they face regarding these "expert's" opinions.
