Massenomics Podcast

Do you know the number one rule when creating a piece of fitness equipment? You always have to make sure that damn thing can fit under the bed! We bring back our fitness's finest segment this week and also introduce our RIP segment, where we lay to rest Instagram accounts and podcasts that are no longer with us.

Catch all our thoughts on the 2019 Tribute Meet. We cover everything including the results, livestream, prizes, equipment, promotion... the full monty. We kick the episode off with a little discussion on weird pump up songs.

You guys and gals asked them, and we answered them... kind of. You will find a lot of the usual nonsense Massenomics questions in here, but there are a few serious nuggets of information thrown into the mix.

Cooper Mitchell (Coop) of Garage Gym Reviews traveled to Aberdeen, South Dakota to visit us... if you can believe that. He and his videogropher did a full tour of Massenomics Gym, which you will be able to see on the Garage Gym Reviews YouTube channel, and then we set down with Coop to pick his brain on everything Garage Gym Reviews related. We even allowed him the privilege of playing overrated/underrated.

Does everyone need to squat to legal powerlifting depth, even if they don't powerlift? And to tag on to that, does everyone that lifts need to deadlift? We answer these hard hitting controversial questions... and our usual nonsensical questions in this episode.

Have you tuned into the History Channel yet to check out "The Strongest Man in History"? We give you some of our initial thoughts on the show. We also talk about the parody that exists in pro strongman, and talk about some big upcoming "stuff" for Massenomics.

What happens when Instagram goes down? And what are the powers that be up to that causes a crash like that? We also talk a little about our new studio, and some new designs that we just released.

What and who actually decides if something "counts" as a world record or not? After discussing it, we still aren't sure if we know. We also discuss some big benching, and some overrated/underrated controversy.

We've got one word for you... MARTINS! But actually, we've got a lot more words than that, you just have to check out this episode to hear them all.

2019 World's Strongest Man just finished up. We made our predictions right before the competition started, so here's your chance to see how wrong we were. We also introduced a brand new "Top 5" segment in this episode!

We have finally made it. We created a design so cool that someone else thought they needed to rip off our exact product. Gucci doesn't have anything on us.

For the first time since 1982, the United States Army is switching its testing for physical fitness. We discuss areas where the current test is lacking, and look at the hits and misses for the new testing. As always, we wrap the episode up with our world famous over/under segment.

Here is our list of ten of the best strength podcasts (in no particular order) currently filling the air waves. Spoiler alert: the Massenomics Podcast is on the list!

We bring you the newest and hottest Massenomics Podcast segment: "Fitnesses Finest". These are some of the best fitness related products that you probably don't know about. We also talk about the big expansion of Massenomics Gym.

The wait is finally over, Westside VS the World is here! Find out our expert takes on the new film from Michael Fahey. We also talk a bit about some questionable lifts that have been passed recently.

There was some monster numbers that went down at the Kern US Open this year (from the lifters that actually showed up). It looks like the Wilks Formula has possibly been blown up out of making any sense anymore for some of these lifters.

We are pumped to announce that Big James is now officially on the Massenomics team! It's pretty cool for us to say that one of the biggest bench pressers of all time is now in the crew. We also give you the low down on multi-level-marketing schemes. (spoiler alert... they suck!!)

What's in the box?? We open up this special delivery from Spud Inc. and try to figure out what the hell is in the box. We also talk about some of the biggest dropouts for the upcoming Kern US Open.

We cover the big winners and big losers of the Log Lift World Championship and Europe's Strongest Man. We discuss what this means for Larry Wheels (and subsequently) all of mankind. We bring back our newest segment "Supplements: Real or Fake" for round two!

The NEWEST and HOTTEST segment to hit the Massenomics Podcast since Over/Under… We present to you "Supplements: Real or Fake?" You're just going to have to listen to this one to understand what we've got cooking. We also discuss the news of 2019 World's Strongest Man coming to Florida this June.

We did it.. A brand new episode every single week for three years. Every told us we would quit before this... hell they begged us to quit, but we didn't listen. We talk about what the milestone means to us. We also give you a little more info on the team of Massenomics Athletes that we have assembled.

We had a lot to get to in this episode. One of the many topics we covered was the rate of injury among the biggest and strongest powerlifters, and how hard it really is to stay healthy long enough to become one of the best. We also update you on some Big Lifts, Best YouTube/IG Comment of the Week, and of course, Underrated/Overrated.

We witnessed some wild shit go down at this year's Arnold. There's nowhere else you can go to see this many huge lifts all in one place. No records were safe between the strongman, the animal cage, and the various powerlifting meets.

We survived the first ever Massenomics booth at the Arnold? So... was it worth it? We don't want to spoil all of the surprises before you listen, but we will let you know that we got to meet a ton of amazing people!

You've probably seen some tips and tricks for your first powerlifting meet... but you've never seen OUR tips for your first meet before! There's probably a few nuggets in here that could be helpful even if you have competed in the past.

By the time you are reading this, we are on our 16+ hour drive to spend the weekend with our good friend, Arnold. This will be our third consecutive Arnold trip.. and we've got our eyes set on selling a couple shirts, and getting some top notch interviews.

Did Larry Wheels EARN his way to an invite to the Giants Live Log Lift World Championship... and does it really matter if he did or not? We also discuss the possibility of seeing a 500kg+ deadlift at the Arnold this year.

These men and women are the among the strongest human beings to ever walk the planet. Our Lifting Legends series spans the last 100+ years of history and includes lifters from powerlifting, strongman, weightlifting, and more. We also go through some great fan submissions in our weekly segment we call underrated/overrated.

Arm wrestling in strongman.. Is there any room for man VS man events like this in today's top level strongman competitions? You can also hear our latest tech advice in this episode, and listen to us be baffled by a 15 year old girl benching 355 pounds in competition.

What's the difference between Tom Brady and LaCroix? ... One of them is the greatest of all time, and the other one is the quarterback for the New England Patriots. Of course we also touch on the latest Amanda Lawrence/Larry Wheels news, as well as update you on our latest plans for the Arnold.

Have you noticed all the CBD posts on social media from your favorite lifters? Did Herbstrong get to the Massenomics crew? Do we want you to use our discount code? Find out answers to these burning questions... and much, much more in this episode.

We are gearing up for our third trip to the Arnold. The events of the pro strongman competition have been released, and we run down the list. There are some brand new ones that should make for one hell of a spectacle. Other topics that we provide our valuable expert opinions on in this episode are; The Rock's Titan Games and Rogue Fitness suing Titan Fitness.

We dug up a couple of hot deals on lifting equipment. There's a belt out there that you probably can't afford NOT to buy if you're in the market for one. We talk about the Reebok power shoe mess, and give our thoughts on the different heeled shoes that you can pick between. And how many options for different wrist wraps is too many?

Did you know Larry Wheels competed in a powerlifting meet earlier this month? And do you know how it ended? We get into it. We also recap the highs and lows for Massenomics in 2018, as well as discuss what we think 2019 will look like for us.

We knew that some people didn't like Layne Norton very well, but after we posted a recent Massenomics VS featuring him, we found out just how deep some of the haters are hating. We also recap Thor's powerlifting meet, and discuss where our predictions were right, and where they were wrong.

You might as well call us "The Rock" because you are about to get the full rundown! The main topics of discussion in this episode are Planet Fitness membership statistics, the new USAPL national qualifying totals, updated predictions on Thor's powerlifting meet, and of course we had to discuss LaCroix flavors again.

Brad "Night Moves" Neitzel returns to the Massenomics Podcast for the third time. Our main topic of conversation revolves around the concept of co-mingling strongman training with powerlifting training throughout the year.. how to successfully compete at both... and why it's fun to do both.

We hit you with a little bit of everything in this episode.. including the USAPL/IPF drug testing news, average age and weight data of powerlifters, and our Thanksgiving adventures. You're going to want to listen to this whole episode if you want to find out the details on the deal of a lifetime.

Meet your Massenomics co-owner and Massenomics Podcast co-host Tommy DeFea. There's more to this guy than just a head full of flowing locks and a strong squat. With the help of listener questions, we peel back his many layers to get to his creamy center...

The World's Strongest Man, Hafthor Bjornsson, will be competing in his first powerlifting meet in less than one month. We approach this subject like we approach most others.. with a lot of opinion based speculation. We also recap some of the results from Slingshot Record Breakers, IPF Open Worlds, and the WPO.

We run down our list of ten protein packed menu items from some of the most popular fast food restaurants. These might not all be the healthiest options (might actually be the most unhealthy), but they are high in protein damn it!

It might be crazy, but we just dropped a boat load of Massenomics cash on a booth for the 2019 Arnold. Do we know what we are doing? Nope.. but we might figure it out. We also discuss the passing of KK, and Mark Bell dropping a quarter of a million on IPF fees.

The DeFea brothers co-pilot this episode. There are some interesting turns, but you're not in for much turbulence... and what's this about the Massenomics guys getting their own 2019 calendar with puppies?

By now you have probably already seen the results of Big Dogs 3 & USAPL Nationals, but you haven't heard the Massenomics take on what went down yet! We cover the highs, the lows, and we talk out of our asses for a bit.. as per usual.

What is up with these proposed rule changes for the IPF? Some could make some sense, and others seem ridiculous. There's probably a good chance most would never happen, but it's still fun to dream.

Big Dogs 3 is coming up on October 14th. We anticipate we will see some monster totals come out of this one. We asked the meet director and some of the lifters about the event, and got their predictions. Listen to see who Brandon Allen, Dan Bell, Markos, and others think will end up on the podium.

What do we love, and what do we hate about social media? We discuss how we utilize it for Massenomics, and we talk about some other companies and lifters that we think have it figured out. We also look into our crystal ball to predict changes with Instagram in the coming years.

We know you all listen to the Massenomics Podcast to hear our expert bodybuilding opinions. So here is what we made of the 2018 Mr. Olympia competition.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you know about the vertical diet. We finally got with the times and read the e-book so we could highlight our favorite takeaways from the diet, as well as some things we aren't quite as sure about.

We weigh in on the "what would happen if Larry Wheels tried strongman" debate. We don't know if it will ever happen, but it would sure be fun to see it. We also talk about the idea of financing gym equipment purchases with monthly payments.
