This episode, Jackson, Geordie and Greg are joined by the Australia's #1 powerlifter Odell Manuel.  Odell has the highest total in Australian history with a 1115kg total achieved at Big Dogs 3 in 2018, he also totalled 1050kg as a guest lifter at the GPCNZ nationals in 2015.

Odell takes us from his humble beginnings in Rugby League that saw him eventually hit the big time,  playing for the NZ Warriors and the Canberra Raiders before injuries and home sickness saw him return to NZ.  He then makes the trip back to Australia where he uncovers his true potential as a world class Powerlifter, only recently retiring after winning Big Dogs 4 in November of 2019, taking home over $20,000 in prize money.

Odell shares stories of lifting with the greatest powerlifters in the world, including Andre Malanichev and deadlift master Konstantīns Konstantinovs. Jackson shaves his boy beard and Greg is ridiculed for his pathetic attempts at squats.
