Nick Best and co-host go live to welcome new members and answer two questions, covering spine alignment pain with advice to see a doctor or chiropractor and to strengthen the torso gradually using movements like Zercher squats, hyperextensions, and dumbbell side bends, plus committing seriously to physical therapy. Nick then shares his journey from college football and a dominant powerlifting run (including state titles and record lifts) into strongman, earning his pro card, breaking a farmer’s walk world record at IFA Worlds 2006, and later competing at World’s Strongest Man multiple times and winning Masters WSM in 2016. They discuss 2026 World’s Strongest Man heat and final events, how conditions like heat affect performance, preview the Arnold Classic bodybuilding field and free livestream, mention Nick’s mother’s recovery after a car crash, and briefly note rumors about Thor vs Butterbean and other fights, plus a movie cameo on Amazon Prime.
