Now that all of us (except Tony) are done with our preps for the year, we are SO BACK!
After a little hiatus and us having our heads buried in the deep sands of prepping for each of our shows, we hop back on to see how everyone's doing and watch Scott do Scott things.
We had a podcast set for all of us to recap how all of our bodybuilding prep's we're going, and then it turned into just Kyle and I since everyone is "busy getting lean".
Why blending various foods might be better than eating them whole, a secret way to improve your squat bracing, and also why the US actually invaded the Middle East.
A Billings kid to 6x Montana State APF record holder to now a 75kg arm wrestling menace, Nick Abell has probably done any strength sport you can think of and done it better than a LOT of people. Nick is a strength athlete at his core and is now "dabbling" in the world of arm wrestling competitions, and by dabbling I mean killing it.
Pretty boy Zach, Kyle, and I talk about placings at the '24 Arnold Classic, why Morgan's wrong for not liking Breaking Bad, and the covetous Dune 2 worm popcorn bucket.
With about a week until the 2024 Arnold and the first 5 man prodcast, we make changes to our Arnold predictions where there is still 6 McGriddles on the line to eat live in front of all the guys
From Rocklin, California to Billings, Montana, Eric has seen a lot in the fitness space, including trying equipped gear from Mark Bell in the flesh! Whether its his incredible journey through his weight loss surgery at 450lb to his quest shooting for a 2000lb total in powerlifting, you can listen to it here.
First prod of the new year and down in our new HQ in Florida! We brought in Tony Manzo this week and we ACTUALLY talk about bodybuilding this time!
With the last podcast of year '23, Scott, Kyle, Zach and I talk about what we would do for our homies and what 2024 brings for us and our coaching/bodybuilding goals. Just the start for those with the Herd Mentality.
A truly great mentor and friend, the infamous "Coach Roach" makes his first appearance on the Prod and just in time for episode 21, which now puts the HMP in the top 1% of podcasts internationally for content!
A very special Christmas prod where we politely discuss which Christmas movie reigns supreme, how I'm an 80 year old man, and several other directions while I cook venison in the background.
Formerly a Montana State University grad assistant for the strength and conditioning department (where Jeff taught me how to train) and then a strength coach for several of China's Olympics teams, Jeff Tremper is an invaluable resource for anything in the world of athletics and it was a huge pleasure to get to catch up with him.
Kyle gets back from kicking ass at Nationals and talks about the how awesome the show and his thoughts and Scott touches on about how his facial hair excels the more he's depressed.
We got Scott, Kyle, and Zach back on to actually talk about some bodybuilding and training specific topics such as which cardio modalities are better for what outcome, why bodybuilding is so damn expensive, and what makes a wolf so Darc...you'll just have to weave through the other topics first to find them.
It's the first 4 coach episode of the podcast where we range anywhere from Dollywood to Zach's worst fecal encounter on the firefighting job, and somehow it all ties back into our love for food!
Scott and I wanted to talk about this year's Olympia, but mainly it turned into us reminiscing about football, clients, my high food starting out this growth phase, and Geode causing several scenes before we got there!
