Ep 562: Jay Cutler, Literally our Biggest Guest Yet
When it comes to bodybuilding, there are just a few names that stand out. Jay Cutler has distinguished himself among greats like Dorian Yates, Arnold Schwarzenegger and of course, his lifelong rival, Ronnie Coleman. Growing up in small town Massechusettes, Jay still pinches himself when he reflects on all he’s accomplished.
One of the biggest names in the history of bodybuilding joins us to talk about what it actually takes to be the best in a highly subjective sport. Jay Cutler’s incredible story of dedication to not only his training but his recovery practices is both the reason for his renowned success and also his ability to live a healthy and fulfilled life long after hanging up the spray tan.

Ep 553 – Hypertrophy for the Soul with Brandon Lilly
Brandon Lilly may be best known for his incredible Powerlifting career, but to those who know him best, that was just the beginning of the journey. Since a catastrophic injury, he has reshaped himself from the inside out, focusing on accountability and virtue first. These traits have carried him into his current position with Sorinex and no doubt given him life PR’s that can simply not be quantified.
