"open up your taint" - Ed Coan, 2012!

[@andrewritger2901]

They call him the goat because when he goes from gym to gym receiving BJs from everyone he doesn't moan he goes "baaaahhh". Love you Ed. We miss you at Quads

[@BV-jq2vg]

Not sure who he was talking about but nice to know I’m not the only one who’s allergic to chalk

Would you guys try and get some more bodybuilding legends on your podcast? I’m not a powerlifter and I’m sure I’m not alone in someone who appreciates you guys but also more favors bodybuilding and would like to see some legends of bodybuilding such as Tom Platz, Lee Haney, Frank Zane, Dorian maybe others such as Milos who I also admire greatly. Just a suggestion I think it would do more to bring in bodybuilding listeners. Thanks!!❤

[@ChimpFlipperJr]

I would also like to see armwrestlers, they are strength athletes and it’s another world. Paul Linn(football coach), Brandon Allen(powerlifter and armwrestler), Todd Hutchings(conjugate method employer), Chris Drummond(articulate armwrestler and teaches conjugate method)
