Massenomics Podcast

A couple week's ago we said that we would like to see America's Strongest Man be a bigger deal than it has been in the past.  Now we are putting our money where our mouths are.  We brought Jack Reeves (promotor and owner of Iron Resurgence) on to discuss the competition, and what he's doing to make it a marquee event.

Everyone that follows Massenomics knows that we love a good powerlifting meme, so we decided to bring on an expert to talk shop. Dylan of Subpar Powerlifting Memes explains his recipe for making memes that make you LOL. He talks about some of his favorite memes, some of his most offensive, and we even get him to talk a little shit about another account.

We were lucky enough to have The Godfather of Starting Strength on our show, so we of course had to ask him important questions like:  Does he really say "FAHVE and DRAHVE"? Why does he lean on so many things?  Are cowboy boots and ribeye steaks all they are cracked up to be?  Hybrid Performance Method: https://hybridperformancemethod.com/ and use code MASS to save 5% on all programs Lifting Large: https://www.liftinglarge.com/ and use code MASS20 to save on Lifting Large branded products Spud Inc.: https://www.spud-inc-straps.com/ Texas Power Bars: https://www.texaspowerbars.com/
