Matt & Angus sit down together for the first episode of 2024 to review the year thats passed as well as set out their goals and predictions for the year to come. 

In quite possibly their worst episode to date, Angus and Matt run off in many tangents and come to very minimal conclusions on topics they are far from experts in.  If you're looking for an informative, evidence based and nuanced episode, this is not the one for you. 

As the ol saying goes, it's only up from here. 

Matt & Angus are joined by strength and conditioning coaches Angus Bradley & Brandon Accardi to chat all things gait cycle and training variation. Both coaches have years of experience working a variety of athletes with a keen interest in the sport of weightlifting.
