This interview is going in as a substitute for episode 79 of Barbell Buddha, the "Barbell Shrugged Thanksgiving special w/ Christmas Abbott" that took place in Sweden while visiting Eleiko’s Headquarters. That episode is fun and loose and there are some gems scattered in this episode, so I encourage you to go listen to it after this interview.

Dr. Galpin is a tenured University Professor with a PhD in "Human Bioenergetics". He teaches classes, publishes research, and works with athletes in the areas of health, human performance, strength & conditioning, and nutrition. If you’re a fan of Chris and Barbell Shrugged you’ve heard his name many, many times. Andy was a colleague, former roommate, and close personal friend with Chris. I can’t thank him enough for coming on the show and paying tribute to Chris’s legacy and giving an honest, raw, and at some times, emotional take on Chris’s life and legacy.

I’m going to kick the show off with a song called “All or Nothing” by my favorite band, MuteMath. I encourage you to listen deeply to the words and carry that forward into the show. “Don’t waste your whole life, on just a half try, it’s all or nothing”

Please enjoy this special episode of Barbell Buddha Rediscovered called “The Story of Two Chris’s.”
