After that we get into the heart of the episode and get you a summary of the high points and low points of Anas's meet experience.

Anas gives us a breakdown into his attempt selection and how he and Chance formed a game plan to get him to his goal total. Anas also gives us a quick summary as to what he did in his training to get him to a 17.5kg PR total and how he did it with such little competition prep time since doing his last meet.

On this episode of CMB! we do another QnA answering questions that you the fans posted on our IG page. We cover a plethora of topics including USAPL vs the IPF and more casual topics such as lazy Sunday and what we would be doing if we weren't powerlifting. Abe uses spider chalk exclusively for his sets, Anas would be a pro soccer player, and Josh would be a super roided weightlifter. We rapid fire questions such as Arby's, Sam's cookies, excel sheets, and Anas's internship. Neil from Boba Tea Protein said that he would sponsor the podcast so I have to include this in here so I can refer to it when he says he didn't say that (I also have screenshots). JD wants to know what happens when he puts bacon on Anas's skin, bonus points for anyone that knows the right answer (disrespectful). Abe's hype music is lame cause it embodies a combination of "Closing Time" and chill rap music, Anas has the best sad hype music lifter, Josh is the typical garbage music lifter.

In this episode of Chalk My Back! the boys discuss what Anas thought of the April fools prank and if he preferred talking with your current hosts or if he wants the girls to come back and replace them. Does it really matter if Josh and Abe get recasted if no one listens to their opinion? probably. We originally wanted to talk about self coaching for the beginner lifter but then talked about something far more interesting. Gym barn? Servants... I mean employees? Lifting out in the boonies? Does Abe love his wife? (Yes he does) Eleiko? Rogue? What do all these things have in common? We take a deep dive into what the boys really want in a "home gym" and learn who has the most financial skill and intelligence (Yes you guessed it, it's not Abe).

In this episode, the GIRLS cover what it's like to be trained by your significant other, they also cover how training with your significant other has affected their own relationships. They also address the pro's and con's of lifting with their partners and the girls (and Anas) discuss if it was all worth it. Anas is single btw, applications are highly encouraged through dm's. You won't believe why Ruth can't forgive Abe, he probably left the fridge open. Is Josh still a horrible coach or is he the greatest coach of all time, you decide. Will Salma compete in a powerlifting meet before Neil even makes an "official" powerlifting total? Salma is also considered an "elite" level lifter, probably. All this and more in this episode of Chalk Her Back!

Abe started his fitness journey as a "booty influencer?" Josh knows science but does he "science" and can he put science and fitness together?
