From Rocklin, California to Billings, Montana, Eric has seen a lot in the fitness space, including trying equipped gear from Mark Bell in the flesh!

It's about 4 weeks out from the Arnold in Ohio, so we make our preliminary top 10 predictions for open bodybuilding and then obviously the rest of the shenanigans

First prod of the new year and down in our new HQ in Florida! We brought in Tony Manzo this week and we ACTUALLY talk about bodybuilding this time!

With the last podcast of year '23, Scott, Kyle, Zach and I talk about what we would do for our homies and what 2024 brings for us and our coaching/bodybuilding goals.

Formerly a Montana State University grad assistant for the strength and conditioning department (where Jeff taught me how to train) and then a strength coach for several of China's Olympics teams, Jeff Tremper is an invaluable resource for anything in the world of athletics and it was a huge pleasure to get to catch up with him.

Kyle gets back from kicking ass at Nationals and talks about the how awesome the show and his thoughts and Scott touches on about how his facial hair excels the more he's depressed.

We got Scott, Kyle, and Zach back on to actually talk about some bodybuilding and training specific topics such as which cardio modalities are better for what outcome, why bodybuilding is so damn expensive, and what makes a wolf so Darc...you'll just have to weave through the other topics first to find them.

It's the first 4 coach episode of the podcast where we range anywhere from Dollywood to Zach's worst fecal encounter on the firefighting job, and somehow it all ties back into our love for food!
