Phil, Lonnie and Rob discuss the sacred... the pre- and mid-workout ritual.

From music to garb to nutrition and caffeine, the guys share personal motivators.

When does Phil know it's go time? What have Fortress and Lonnie long-eaten as a

bizarre super secret pre-session ritual? What music makes Fortress want to gnaw his

way through the gym door to reach some heavy weights? Get in on this! The guys also

have guest competitors on the show and bribe listeners to get involved with double

contest prizes. It's time to call-up your inner Viking or Highlander AND win stuff!

Where else can you grow a beard by the end of the show from all the testosterone and

adrenaline that's flowing... while you win free stuff? Dare to enter the gates of

Valhalla! ***PS IronRadio is now jointly airing on PRIMAL FM on Saturday nights;

Lonnie and Fortress have a very candid talk about what competing felt like

for Rob after years away from the competitive scene. Have you ever wondered what

it's like to pit yourself against other men - and more importantly, yourself? Will

something awaken within you? Get a perspective! Also tune in for a meat pie recipe

that's guaranteed to pack on mass this fall season - and - listen to the discussion

on lifting for its own sake. Virtually all sports now employ lifting in various

ways, but what about the purity of MASS and RAW STRENGTH as their own ends? Tune in

and get back to your roots! ***PS IronRadio is now jointly airing on PRIMAL FM on

Lonnie and Phil talk with Paul Klinger, Director at Informed Choice.org

about contaminated dietary supplements. How prevalent is contamination? What are the

most common contaminants? Steroids? Stimulants? Should you even care if you're not

in the NCAA or Olympics? And during the Topic of the Day, the guys talk with Paul

about why bodybuilders and powerlifters get so much doping attention by the media.

They also debate whether or not professional sports should even BE tested. ***PS

Phil, Rob, and Lonnie share some very positive listener mail and news

before getting to the topic of the day. It's time the full triumvirate weighed-in on

the unhealthy side of strength sports. Rather than harp on drug use, the guys range

all over the place discussing blood pressure, serum lipids, flexibility myths,

inflammation and arthritis, among other stuff. How does one prevent or address these

things? Tune in for the goods.***PS IronRadio is now jointly airing on PRIMAL FM on

Dr. Lowery and Fortress talk shop about his rapidly approaching

powerlifting meet. If you've wondered what goes through the head of a competitor

right before a competition, this will offer you insight. Fortress is friggin' strong

for a clean and raw lifter but can he pull it together when under the microscope?

Also, Dr. L shares some brand new news that may appear biased to some. It relates to

how Strongman athletes are less healthy than runners. Are these size-impaired

researchers prejudiced against our heftier ilk? ***PS IronRadio is now jointly

Phil and Fortress talk shop, Lonnie shares some breaking steroidal science

news, and then Rob and Phil are on to the topic of the day. What's on tap...

Fortress struggles to avoid getting kicked out of his gym, Phil plays water balloon,

and Lonnie launches our fall contest. The day's topic questions how strong humans

have REALLY become and what truly equals elite. If you're so big you break toilet

seats, you'll be especially interested in this episode. ***PS IronRadio is now

Dr. L, Fortress and Phil share a little athletic and scientific news, then

interview top bodybuilder John Meadows. This guy is a real trooper and class act. In

fact, John is fresh off the Mr. North America just a few weeks ago. After some

initial history and more sharing of his current activities, Big John joins the topic

of the day. How does a high-level competitor specifically approach contest dieting?

How does one hold onto precious muscle mass as a diet drags on? How long should YOU

diet, based on your starting point and physiological state? Tune in and get a

competitor's eye view. ***PS IronRadio is now jointly airing on PRIMAL FM on

Dr. L, Fortress and Phil cover news from vikings to sperm banks to cloven

skulls to Mr. Olympia results. Yes, they can stretch THAT far. Lonnie even shares

some erudite info. on whether growth hormone or IGF-1 is the main mechanism behind

modern 'beyond juice' muscle growth. Then the guys move on to the topic of the day -

use of multiple drugs, especially growth hormone, in strength sports. Does something

magical happen when a bodybuilder stacks androgens plus GH plus insulin and IGF-1?

What are the consequences? How are high-tech bodybuilding careers lasting compared

to the old juice-only days? Tune in and get both facts and opinions. ***PS IronRadio

Rob, Phil and Lonnie talk about recent bodybuilding and nutrition news,

then move on to the day's topic. Who's in the upcoming Mr. Olympia? How is the sport

changing, including women's bodybuilding? Is it just about sex and money or is there

some competitive purity left? Also, what's the FDA got planned regarding your

supplements? And in the day's topic, how many days per week do YOU take off from the

gym? And do you ever plan multiple days - even a week - off from training entirely?

Could you even MAKE yourself do so? Listen in for some insight. ***PS IronRadio is

now jointly airing on PRIMAL FM on Saturday nights; your radio is no longer safe.

Rock on!***

Dr. L, Rob and Phil talk about recent training, nutrition, news and drugs.

Fortress stuns even Phil and Lonnie with the dosages he's seen abused. The

discussion then segues into the topic of the day - misrepresentation in bodybuilding

and powerlifting. It happens all the time on the covers of magazines and in ads. A

huge dude holds up a supplement bottle as he flexes his 24-inch pythons. Is it all

greed and lies or just athletes on-contract trying to get ahead while avoiding

inconvenient truths? How many times do the young or uninitiated try a product held

up by a shredded behemoth, only to wonder why they can't achieve such awesomeness?
