    • Q&A #12: Body Composition 101
      There's your clip for the week folks and if that doesn't compel you to tune in, we don't know what will. But make no mistake, mouth rinsing carbohydrate solutions as an ergogenic aid is no laughing matter.  
      As always, keep an eye on the profiles of @paulie_rocket @gifted_kuza and @the_completemeathead for AMAs on their stories. This is where we gather all questions. Do they have to be training, nutrition or supplement related? Not a chance, bring on your worst.
      3:02 - Question from @abouzeidanna: Albuterol vs Clen In Terms of Effectiveness/How it Affects the Body? 
      14:58 - Question from @sallebeatbox: All natural, what do you find to be the best way to contest prep and water manipulation? 
      30:00 - Question from @chelseyschmidt: Are there any downsides to chewing sugar free gum all day? We’re talking about A LOT of gum here. 
      40:41 - Question from @jsp_trainning: Thoughts on mini cuts, what is the best way to utilize them? Who shouldn't pursue them?

    • Keir Wenham-Flatt

      A repeat guest on the #GPP? Now that's an honor bestowed upon a rare group. Project Pat said it best "real recognize real" and @rugby_strength_coach is as real as they come.  Keir joined us for an episode all about making money in an industry where scraping by is the norm: Strength and Conditioning.   

      We want to thank Keir for coming on again and enlightening the people on a subject that isn't often talked about. In a field where you often hear "put your head down and grind" or "you can survive on PB&J" it's helpful to have someone like Keir to discuss alternative streams of revenue so that you can at least afford the Jif Double Chunky Peanut Butter.
