![Ep. 208- Sheffield Final Roster, USPA Controversy, New Bodybuilding Research
It’s episode 208 and yes, you’re right, that means it’s been four years of episodes coming out weekly, every single [insert day here]. And guess what? In typical iron culture fashion, we completely forgot it was our 4 year anniversary while we recorded this episode. But, dear listener, that’s because we were totally focused on YOU, bringing you the latest news in the iron game, from the final Sheffield roster now that the wildcard picks are complete, to the recent USPA controversy, to a new study published on physique contest preparation. Next week, we’ll have our belated 4 year anniversary, but this week you get to enjoy another MONSTER episode.
