Jack, will you tell us this story? Can you talk into the microphone and tell us this story? No. Oh, come on. It's funny. Ross is listening now. Tell him about when the nugget fell out of your pants. The poop pants story.

Come on. It's a funny story. No. We don't have poop pants stories. Daddy. Yeah? Poop pants story. Daddy, can you copy me?

So, did the nugget... Jack, you got a copy, Jack? No, don't go ahead. Hey! You little rat. Tanner, you better tell the poop pants story. Daddy, my coffee, daddy. Okay, so Jack walked by in the living room,

and a nugget of poop fell out of his pants on his way to the bathroom. Poop-it nugget? It was a little poop-it nugget. Poop-it nugget? You can buy them in the six-pack from McDonald's. Do you have anything to say on that subject, Jack? Uh, no. It is what it is.

Yeah, we've all been there. Hello. Yeah, bud. I want to try those ones. Let him try them. No. These are the only nice headphones we have here. You mean old man, let him try them.

All right. There you go. Give me a little kiss. All right, I'm going to test some levels here. Tom, tell me your social security number. 867-5309. Hey, that's what I have too, man. Right?

It's a good one. We all come from Milbeck. We get the same fucking one. It's just one different. There's only one there. We share. It's how they do it. All right.

I think I got everybody pretty good. We have a shit ton of background noise. So we're here live at, what do we call this, MassFest? MassFest 1. MassFest 1. This is our one-year anniversary of the gym, and I don't even know what technically anniversary this would be of the podcast. Over half a year.

Over half. That's pretty legit. 26 was half, and this is 32, I think. I'm no math scientist, but that's more than half. Rolling deep, baby. So we're here at, what is it? Massapalooza Apocalypse Mageddon Lacoste Fest Con. Birthday party one.

2016. Yeah. We're basically what we're going to do here. There's going to be a shit ton of noise from music and people in the background. Because we have approximately a football stadium full of people here. Drinking non-alcoholic beer because they're concerned about their fitness levels. O'Douls. Cold duck.

I actually just got through my go-to evening drink, which is pre-workout and tequila which i highly recommend recommend is the craziest thing i've ever heard in my life pre-workout tyler you didn't say red bull vodka and you know in theory it is about the same it's just the fact that pre-workout you know pre-workout is probably not any more expensive than red bull either though i'm i'm drinking a coors light tommy's drinking a Bud Light and then TJ has a Kirkland. We don't even have Costco in South Dakota. Because I didn't know Kirkland

made beer since we don't have Costco. I just thought they only made vodka and maybe some other fine liquors. They make vodka, whiskey, IPAs. Did you bring that Kirkland? I did. Where did you get it from? Costco. But where? We don't have a fucking Costco. There's Costco at Two Falls in Fargo.

You made a trip? What size of case did I load up the back of my fucking truck? What size of case does that Kirkland come in? 48. Oh! For $21. How many handles does that have on it? Like one or two?

Two big ones. 48 pack of beers. That is amazing. Now, while I appreciate the gesture I don't believe delivering a bunch of crunchy potato chips to a god damn audio recording

what what do you mean Carl what very good very good now everybody's gonna have mouthpieces

as well you guys all good with your chips oh I'm good now can't fucking say no take care of yeah so what are what are we going to kind of do bring as many people in as we possibly i think we're just going to bring people around we got guest number one tj what was tj tj is a original gangster

i joined up before it was even a thing yeah tj's like day minus 10 yeah when it was just a glimmer in our eyes he said fuck yeah i'll do that he's talking about it i handed him some money i said i'm in get me the fuck out of the y so tj we're a year deep what's one of your funniest stories from the gym funniest stories from the gym okay so i'm on that sit-up machine right you know the sit-up machine yeah ghd yeah i got i got 45 pounds on me and i'm going up and down up and down and then i my pants and i you know it's just a little one but you knew your right it's like you know it's greasy just a little one. But you knew your shit, right? It's like, no, it's greasy. It's squishy.

And I get off and I look around. Nobody said nothing. And I just fucking left. Well, you go at 5 a.m. usually, right? I do. Why? Yeah, that sounds terrible. So I work at 3M, you know, and I get off work.

3M is actually an avid sponsor of this podcast. Right. They're going to hear itid sponsor of this podcast. Right. They're going to hear it. So I go there, I run five different departments. So when I get off work, I mentally, emotionally, I got nothing left. So I get it all done before I go. Otherwise, I wouldn't do it. That makes sense, sort of.

And I'm old, and I don't want to work out with you fuckers, because I would just hurt myself every day. Would you say you're the best in the 5 a.m. shift? I rock the 5 a.m. shift. And then the new guys that come at 5 a.m., I growl at them and shit, and I tell them to get the fuck. This is my place and my time. That's what I was going to say. You've been there since day one at 5 a.m., so when we get some new people, I always ask them when they're going to come.

Whenever they say 5 a.m., I'm like, oh, you're going to have to check in with Tom and see if that's okay. I'm crabby as fuck in the morning. TJ, do you usually get a couple cups of coffee down before you work out? Dude, I put my pre-workout right in my coffee. Do you have a pre-workout that doesn't taste like candy, or do you just have candy-flavored coffee? No, I have coffee-flavored pre-workout. Oh, no shit.

It's actually pretty legit it goes right in and instead of putting all the creamer and shit you put that in there and it actually tastes good no jack you up like you wouldn't believe that's pretty cool did you ever put booze in it well on saturdays take that edge off oh fuck yes yes right on right on um so is there a robust 5 a.m or do you kind of fucking run the roost it's me and then uh nick shows up every now and then and he makes me you know is that thick nick yeah okay he does the one and only all that heavy shit engineer extraordinaire yeah he's like spot me and i'm like are you kidding just don't fucking drop it yeah that guy's been full of surprises lately with his bench going up like five pounds every week here's the other deal thicknick just had a deal and i don't remember did we share it on our

instagram or is it just on his we'll have to make sure we share it go to massonomics on instagram and you'll see it but he just like invented this fucking he uh redesigned the... What's it? The Pitch Shark or the Squat? Squat? Whatever. It was a deal for wide grip. Oh, yeah. That one. That one, yeah.

Actually, he's two inventions deep now. Yeah. He's going hard in the paint. Yeah. But this one is like... Basically mounts to your fucking squat rack and then narrows up the deal. So if you have shit elbows or shoulders, you can still... Right, right.

Yeah, he's got bad shoulders. Yeah, so you can still grab wide without fucking up your fingers. Yeah, it's pretty impressive. And he is in the midst of designing a. A sex robot. Yeah. That can talk back to you. And he's doing it at 3M.

We share the same office. And I'm like, is that for mass? And he goes, yes. So, yeah. The Massonomics sex robot. The monkey's out of the bottle. It's that full body vibrating machine. It's no stress on your lower back either. It's awesome.

He's got it. He's got it. So we have, taking Tanner's place here, we now have our guest from episode 29, the Phantom Menace. The other DeFay. He's been tagged in yep he is uh ryan fletch lives defay which which since that time ryan as of today has had a new squat pr yeah i guess right 465 465 kilos how much how. How much bigger is your penis now? I think it's smaller.

Really? Kind of hurt yourself a little. It's the same. It's the same. It's the only reason I got into lifting. I thought it would make an impact. It doesn't. No.

It really just puts other things in the way. Right. My tits are bigger. I can't see my weight. My stomach is just bigger. It's just a pattern. That's it. We also didn't get any results from our belly push.

Oh, the belly push. Was there a hole? Or was it just kind of like comment time? I kind of half-assed it, honestly. I just put pictures out there and assumed that people would tell us. Right. Nobody told us anything. So, I think that means I there and assumed that people would tell us. Right. Nobody told us anything. So I think that means I won.

Yeah. Of course. Mostly. Back here on Mic 2, we are joined by popular request, the big Shane Kowachnik. How's it going, Shane? Not bad. What's up, guys? Shane.

Let's get serious. Ryan, I am serious. guys. Shane. Let's get serious. Ryan, I am serious. Shane is maybe most known for having stolen breakfast out of a hotel for 30 consecutive days. Yep, 30 consecutive days. You got free breakfast. Yep. And you weren't staying there? No, my motel did not have breakfast. And you went to the one across the road? Yep. I was very familiar with that one. Shane, how long did it take for you to finally migrate to Masonomics full time?

Full time? Well, I didn't go to the first gym. And then as soon as the new one opened I checked it out that first day or two, and I signed up right there. Right on.

That was about when I basically showed up at the first gym like twice. Yeah. So that was about the same time. So you've been there about seven months-ish, something like that? Yeah, I was there the last week in April. Okay. Yeah, that's like seven months. Yeah. week in April. Yeah, that's like seven months. So in that seven

months, what is your favorite gym story from back then? Just when everybody makes fun of Larry, probably. Yeah. Larry Legend, anytime he's squatting or deadlifting,

maybe even he does a lot of bicep curls. He thinks he has big arms. He's working on it. Yeah. He always takes his shirt off, too. You see, Larry. He's over there right now.

Does he take his shirt off at the gym? Yeah. He usually works out naked, you know. You know, Larry, he's kind of smart, but he's a child. At heart. He has the mind of a child. The day of the contest, he comes to me for advices. He comes to you for advice?

But it's so dead hard for me to give him the wrong advices. So, for real, does Larry work out with his shirt off? I haven't seen it personally, but I just have to assume that he does it when nobody's there. Yeah. I've been tempted, but I'm always worried that I'm going to be there staring at myself in the mirror with my shirt off. And then someone with real muscles is going to walk in. I'm like, fuck. Yeah.

So, I used to work out naked until Tanner fucking told people that the gym was open at 5 a.m. Totally ruined it for me. I looked so huge. And now I got to put my clothes on. I have to ask a question to everybody that's sitting here. Okay. We have a shower at the gym. Has anybody sitting here used the shower?

I've never used it. Only after a really gnarly poop. I used it twice before work um i used it to uh wet my hair down one time so you know style it all up and then squat yeah we've got uh special guest sergeant sergeant anderson here i don't know how this is going to work guys we have too many microphones he just told me to come over here so that's why i can leave no we're just gonna we're gonna we're gonna start liquidating guests here is what's gonna happen so um shane you pooped at the gym at all? Oh, yeah. Yeah. How's that going? For some reason.

Like, not in the toilet, though. It's like, Shane, there's a bathroom. Come on. It's usually in my pants, but. Just kidding. All right, Ryan, you got a mic now, right? Yep, got a mic. We got two Ryans and, oh, Jesus Christ.

So, I've got two Ryans and two DeFays. I've got two DeFays on one mic. Is it DeFay or LeFleur? I don't remember. I think it goes back to possibly being LeFleur. Yeah. See, I remember at the old YMCA, the first time I ever met Big Tommy, me and Keith Waldman were working out,

and Tommy was just kind of a skinny nerd just getting into it. A friggin' dweeb. Yeah, he introduced himself, and we all liked him, and he was kind of walking away, and I was like, yeah, what was his name again? We were both like, I was like, LeFleur, yeah, Ryan LeFleur. Which that is the guy's last name from the Dodgeball movie, isn't it? Yeah, Peter LeFleur. Which that is the guy's last name from the Dodgeball movie, isn't it? Yeah, Peter LeFleur. Cinema

classic starring Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn. So, was Tommy's hair as magnificent as it is now, or was it a work in progress? In my personal opinion, it was even better back then. It's only gotten worse with age, if you ask me.

Yeah. He was in a man bun when know when i first met him i think so did you automatically think he was a douchebag or no i actually i liked him right away like usually my first impression of someone is they are a douchebag but for some reason i like ryan ryan or Tommy? And Tommy. Ryan and Tommy. Ryan just came off as that guy. You're like, hey, I kind of like you. He's pretty cool. He has good squat form, and he does a lot of bicep curls.

What about Larry? Do you like Larry anymore? Larry legend? Oh, yeah. Me and Larry go back to the old YMCA. I heard Larry built the old YMCA. Yeah. Yeah, Larry, come on over here.

Share with Shane. Dude, Larry. Larry, you're going to have a hard time hearing us talk, I suppose. You're popping with Ryan. Huh? You should wear them. You wear them. So this could be the most special guest in the history of Massanomics podcast.

We have Larry Legend Shook. Now, Larry, Larry just took his shirt off. Right. Larry, now, I think on the poster we were putting out for the event tonight, we told everyone you would be wearing your Inzer singlet and it's not out yet. It was still in the laundry.

He could have it on under his coat. I'm like two blocks away. I could run home and throw it out. So, Larry, we are in your neck of the woods, right? Yeah. I heard we're about two blocks from your house. Yeah. Yep.

So, after party, is it Larry's? Yeah, we're having a big party at my place. Get right up here to the mic. Okay. You got to get real personal with the microphone, Larry. So, Larry, though, if we go back to your house, is your dog going to be okay with that, though? Oh, yeah. I don't know.

I think that he'd be okay with you, but Ryan, I don't know. What does that mean? Ryan's afraid of dogs, ain't he? He puts off that weird vibe. I'm kind of a cat person, per se. I think Daisy would sniff Ryan out right away. She knows a phony when she sees one.

So Larry, you're also an original member of the gym. We're a year deep now. The original hateful eight. You're one of the hateful eight of the original. What is one of your favorite memories of the gym in the past year? You can only pick one, Larry. One memory, huh?

There's been so many. It's just such a whirlwind of emotion. I don't know. I think that, like, the old gym had some pretty good memories. It was pretty tight there, wasn't it? Yeah, it was. When you had to rely on man body heat to get it warmed up. A lot of nuts to butts yeah you know it's hard to hard to imagine that it was only about

what seven eight months ago that we'd have a room with so many guys getting so much heat in that the mirrors would start to fog over it was like that scene on the Titanic where Jack and Rose are in that car. Yeah, it was like that. I was thinking the same thing, Ryan. I don't know. Just the hand on the glass. Put his hand on the glass. No, I don't know.

Probably at the old one getting ready for that first, you know, that was your first meet, wasn't it, Tommy? We were getting ready for that. That was my first meet. Right, okay. Yep, and, you know, those first three months, it was, like, intense every day because we only had one of everything, so everyone was going all in on it. It was some good training sessions for sure. It was.

Did you guys share with Larry then? Did you guys just kick him off everything? Do you remember? No, he would kick us off. He'd be like, you got five minutes to get off that squat, right? Larry's the type of guy that walks into the gym, and no matter who's in there, the first thing Larry says is, all right, listen here, motherfuckers. You're on my stuff.

You're on my stuff. And he's like, hey, you about done with squats? And even if you say no, he's like, yeah, yeah, you're done. You're done now. You know, we got like four squat racks now. And if you squat on Fridays, you got a hard time getting in the squad if you show up a little bit late speaking yeah showing up late is kind of your mo though yeah i know it so with so larry in the equipment world you've had a few things change in the past year you've uh he's got a smaller

inzer singlet you've gotten a smaller from a medium to a small you've uh gone from a blue lever belt to a red white and blue double double thong belt you've also moved from A6 wrestling shoes to Red Wing boots do you feel like those are more supportive for the most part and jeans

I do I do I squat a lot with jeans on I think that's like cheating though it's kind of like a squat suit as tight as Larry's jeans are I squat a lot with the jeans on, don't I? I think that's like cheating, though. It's kind of like a squat suit. As tight as Larry's jeans are. Is that why your squats are so good because you use denim pants to help you? That's what I love about the gym is I can go right from work to the gym and I don't even have to change or anything.

I just got to wipe the equipment down whenever I'm done. Hey, that's dedication, man. Should we pause for a moment from our sponsors? Coors Original, Bud Light, Fat Tire, Miller Light, and Kirkland Light. Last but not least, the premier beer found in a

48-pack of cans. Kirkland. TJ got his Kirkland in a 48-pack. America's 48-pack. Tap me out. All right. Larry, we also, I don't know if this has been brought to your attention yet, but we found out that you are a legitimate contender for the national title next year.

Any truth to that? I heard that. Do you want to call anybody out? Not really. Larry will be at whatever Masters age he's going to be. We won't warn anybody just yet. But he's got a total that would take it, right? Yeah.

Theoretically. At Masters, I would have won it last year. If things go as well as they did last year, I probably got a pretty good shot at it. How fucking cool is that? That's pretty cool. What weight class? Jim Sharp. That would be at a 205 weight class.

So you'd have to cut some weight. I'd have to, yeah, probably about 10 pounds. I think I was in the 231 class, but I think I only weighed like, what did I weigh? 215 maybe? Yeah. Well, you said your bench feels better when you're a little heavier. Yeah, yeah. So I could be, yeah.

Who knows? So we're talking future national champion out of the gym, right? Oh, I don't know. Jesus Christ, Larry, call some fucking shots here. This is supposed to be for entertainment, so I want you to call your competition some dirty names. Tell them you're going to crush them. He's not in the master's class yet.

You guys are killing me here. I think, Corey, you're doing it this year, aren't you? Yeah, if I don't get hurt. But me and you will be in the same weight class. Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Crush me. Corey is the owner of the heaviest Ford Focus in the upper Midwest that we use in our strongman competition. And the thickest Bronco in all of the land.

We're going to do a little bit of mic fixing action here. Hold on just a second. I'm going to pass it over to Brandon Cole. I need you to lead the show for 30 seconds. Tell us a poop story. Poop story. Poop story. Let's hear it. Tyler, I'm going to pass on a poop story. Poop story. Poop story. Let's hear it. Tyler, I'm going

to pass on the poop story just because I'd like to tell everybody to put the children to bed. This is Late Night Listening with Jim Sharp and I didn't get this porno stash by mistake. I like where this is going. I'd say we should talk probably about like daily routines, right? Yeah, let's hear it. What we like to do in the morning. I like to get up and have a cold course, Tyler. That's what I like to do, maybe throw in a Copenhagen.

I don't believe much in breakfast because I think beer is a great meal replacement. And really when it comes to the gym, I don't get all the hype about these amino acids, BCAs. I mean, grab yourself some liquor and get the fuck to work, right? And we really wish that Brandon was joking. Right. You know, that is one thing that I just love about how the Mastonomics Gym got started.

I don't think I would have met Brandon if Tanner would have never got the Mastinomics gym going. Probably not. And I tell you what, he is a beast, I'll tell you. He could drink beer and kick some ass. We probably wouldn't have met before because I am, for what, you know, I'm just going to be honest about it, I'm an alcoholic. And I really like to drink, but somehow the gym has off-balanced that,

so I haven't got to that fat, chubby stage yet, ladies. And I'm still pushing up some pretty good numbers, although I'm not going to lie to you, I'm non-dependable. I probably won't even show up at my own wedding. And, I mean, there's really not a a lot you got to remember in life or give a fuck about except for prs right cheers and uh brandon is sponsored by coors original the banquet beer the banquet beer right the only beer you want it's the only one uh what i had never done was had the uh coors makes the cute little glass bottles, the little grenades.

Yep, yep, the classics. The classics, right? Coming back from the Strongman competition, we may or may not have been passengers or driving in a vehicle. I don't recall, but Brandon had loaded us up with them. I don't think I'd had one of those in like 15 years. Yeah. I don't think I've ever had one. Really? No, not the chub bottles. It's I don't think I've ever had one. Really?

No, not the Chubb bottles. It's the way to drink Coors, for sure. How do they taste? Like Coors. They taste amazing, Larry, but... It's all about the cool factor, probably. The whole thing behind it is the bottle is from like 1940s, so basically it's like having a cool, crisp taste of America

with a little bit of badass mixed in basically no it was it was so good that i drank i drank all of those and then i had a wedding to go to that night and i went and that was i had never bought cool you want to do a wedding that night you know the night the night we left the state strongman competition i got home, showered, changed, drove out of town again to go to a wedding reception where I basically power drank 18 beers and then went home and laid down in bed. But legitimately, I was so much less sore after the state competition than I was our competition, the Massanomics one. The Massanomics one fucked me up bad. Oh, yeah. You guys were all in it i was

sore for like two or three days afterwards yeah that fucked me up like for a long like you while you guys were there we were we had to unload all that equipment the next morning and it was like it was like a group of well aside from the fact that we were really hung over but basically standing there nursing their hangovers complaining about their soreness this is uh oh shit tj just handed me his coffee pre-workout. What's this brand? Do you know what this brand is? MN Sport USA.

MN Sport USA Roasted Ice Coffee Pre-Workout. Sounds fucking legit. Doesn't Caffe Niquilos have their own coffee? I like it. I just drink Folgers, I don't know. You just drink Folgers? I don't know. You just drink Folgers? I'm pretty plain Jane. I actually don't drink coffee like ever.

I never drink coffee. Really? It helps me poop. I don't need any help. I have two cups, and I sit on my computer for a little bit, and then it's like, all right, it's time to shit. Now it's time. I'm all caught up on yahoo news yep i used to never drink coffee either in like the last two years i drink it it's like i gotta have it just do an old man shit i don't i think definitely if you drink alcohol in the

morning you should drink coffee to cover up your breath before you go to work i don't know how you guys feel about the whole coffee thing. For me, it's like, do you want caffeine or carbs? Or you could just mix coffee with, like, vodka. This is true. Or Bailey's. Oh, my God, I never thought of that. Two birds with one stone.

Or java-flavored pre-workout. Oh, yeah, Monster makes that shit. That's disgusting. I don't like it. Oh, just their java drink? The Monster, yeah. This shit's also like 700 calories in a can.

Hey, after finding out the vodka and coffee trick, I'd just like to apologize to my boss and say it's not going to be a piece of shit Monday. Larry Legend's signing out here. He was done. We are joined by the Chuck D. Can you hear me, Chuck?

Yes, sir. How you doing? Pretty good. Pretty good. Get right up into the microphone here. We got dismantling equipment. Sorry about that. No problem.

It's all cheap gear. So, Chuck, how you doing tonight very good how you guys doing pretty good we're celebrating the one year how's uh tell us about your last year at massonomics getting huge doing huge guy shit yeah i definitely need to get in there more often i kind of tend to fall off the wagon but i'm gonna i'm gonna stay a little more committed this year and be ready to go you're a hell of a hammer slogging player i'm gonna i'm gonna stay a little more committed this year and be ready to go you're a hell of a hammer schlagan player i'm gonna put that out there we do have the uh how do you pronounce that again hammer schlagan hammer hammer schlagan which is basically normally it's a stump

and uh you take some big old fucking nails you got to use a hammer backwards it's kind of similar to the game of uh giving your girl the login. That's what I like to call it. The old Kenny Loggins. And you've got to drive the nail in flush with the hammer backwards and Chuck has been cleaning house. Aside from Larry using his weird construction

skills. And his nephew has been cleaning house. Ethan has been. Must be genetic. Like three swings and it's down basically in either game a miss is gonna hurt someone yeah well he'll miss but uh when he hits it it's like game over chuck what's your best story from the last year at massanomics i think the best story is is um when i first started going going there and Tanner put a bunch of weight on the deadlift bar and went to pull it up and started calling dinosaurs all over the weight room. There's a bunch of red fluid come flying out of them.

That was one of my favorite ones. Is that the old gym? Yeah. That's the old gym. And I think we've got that video on Instagram. I think it is. It is. So go to Massanomics on Instagram. I think it is. It is. So go to Massanomics on Instagram.

We're going to have to go back a little bit. I think we posted it this summer, but we'll see a video of Tanner fucking laying it out. Yeah, it sprayed. It was like the last day at the gym. He was like, one of them, yeah, I think so. Go for broke. Have you ever shit your pants, threw up, peed yourself? Not yet.

Apparently, I'm not lifting enough weight. Brandon, you? No. About the, you know, every once in a while when you hit a PR, you get a little excited. You might prematurely ejaculate a little bit, but that's really the seriousness of seriousness of it really that's just a risk a guy takes from day to day yeah and personally tyler i enjoy it you get up for it literally i do i think the worst i've done is farted that's it that's it i've had some really dangerous farts yeah mid-lift i don't think I've I've never shit my pants. I've never peed. I don't think I've ever thrown up. I've shorn it once.

Have you? Folded my clothes. Speaking of a fart story, I actually did, I do have something interesting about that. Last week, Tanner was doing his 5x3 with 405 and I did get crop dusted in the face. Last set, fifth rep, you know,

when you're really struggling. And, yeah, that caused a severe case of pink eye for about two days. Tanner does like to fart. Yeah, it's actually, he blames it on the protein that he eats. I don't know if it's Tanner or. I think it's just because he's an asshole. I think maybe quash it if I have to fart even more. Shane farts more than Tanner for sure.

Yeah, for sure. The problem is is Tanner will own it and Shane will pretend like it never happened. Yeah. Which is even grosser. Like,

you ever around like your grandparents when they fart? Oh. And they won't address it? They'll be like, my grandpa would do this all the time.

He'd sit there and he would fart. You'd fucking hear it. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, you'd be having a conversation. He'd be using words and he'd be but he'd keep fucking talking like nothing happened

and then the smell would come in and it was just foul as hell like rotten eggs and again like they eat so many oats at that age so much oats yeah it's all about the juice yeah and like and that smell just starts creeping in and but they won't address it where like it's all about that oatmeal juice oatmeal weird shit and like and that smell just starts creeping in but they won't address it like it's almost better if someone farts and will just own it

yeah like laugh about it be like sure suck on that one dude and at least you know what's coming if everybody's nose

is turning off it's like oh yeah that's what's up that's what's up speaking of things that smell like shit I shouldn't have came in on that damn it he's boosting a different gym That's what's up. Speaking of things that smell like shit. I shouldn't have came in on that. Damn it.

He's boosting a different gym. We are joined by Ross, who has been on three times. This is my fourth time on it. Fourth time on Mount Rossmore. Oh, yeah. So, Ross has been in since pretty much right away. You were in the old gym. How's things gone in the last year getting huger doing huge guy stuff going really good uh taking it pretty easy during the summer

and then uh probably on thanksgiving i'm gonna ramp up the old calories and we're gonna try to hit some prs you go hard in the paint you know going it. You blame it on the holidays. Well, I figure that's a good time to start, eh? Why not? I've got a, we're going to Mexico like right before Thanksgiving, so I've been trying to like. I've seen that, yeah. I've been trying to not eat so much over the last like three, four weeks. I've actually gone from like a weird amount of calories to a regular.

What's regular for you? Yeah, I was going to gonna say there's probably nothing normal about what you do now i haven't been tracking very diligently but i i know kind of where i've been at so i've been at about 5500 calories a day well that's that's my that's my bulky so and actually i went in and i did like body the body scan analysis deal. And I built up to that intake and I hadn't actually had any change in body composition whatsoever after about a month of 5,500 calories a day. So now I was like, well, if I want to just like push strength, I have to eat more. I was going to say, what would you ever have to eat?

Probably about seven grams well we'd at least have to start taking it up in like two three hundred bumps a week yeah to see the problem is it's like it's a i try to eat clean because i don't want to be disgusting well it's hard to eat clean and then eat that many calories so like so i fucking i've been like suffering trying to get that much in there's's no fucking way I'm going to do more than that. Even getting a pound of protein per body weight is hard. Yeah. So I barely have time to even eat once during the day. Half the time I can suck down a bottle of water.

It's tough to get strong doing that. Yeah. So I'm guessing that as I tapered down over about two weeks, I've tapered down to I think I'm around like 4,500 calories a day. And I have felt crushed. Like now all of a sudden I've got like. Do you feel all your shit different in the weight room? I hurt. I feel weak.

My legs don't recover for days and days and days and i do a lot more volume than probably most people doing like a power lifting program and crossfit at the same time and like and i have been fucking destroyed for like the last eight days have you tried that uh cryotherapy i see there's a place in town you know i haven't tried it here but i have tried it once before. What is it like being at negative 238 degrees? Whatever they say it is, I don't fucking believe them for a second.

It's not that cold. Really? Have you tried it down there? I did. I didn't do it there. I did it at the place in the Twin Cities, but I did feel amazing afterwards. I did it, and about a half hour later, I felt like I could jump over a building. I always see Joe Rogan.

There's a place in town that has it. Yeah, there is. It's fucking kind of fucking expensive. It's a good thing for them. It's not the only thing that they do. It said it was like $25 for like three minutes. Yeah, yeah. Oh, really?

And you wouldn't want to go for longer than that because that's where you like are you naked in there you can be yeah no you gotta wear gloves and footy underwear and socks yeah and when i was in there it didn't take long before i was using my gloves to cover up my nipples because shit was fucking starting to hurt. But, yeah, that was – but it was cool. I felt good. A half hour – after about a half hour feeling fantastic, I really felt like I needed a nap. But, like, I didn't feel better the next day for having done it.

I think if you're going to do it, you've got to do it, like, four or five days a week. Sure. And then, like, do it all the time before I could form an opinion on it. Sure. Nice, boys. Which we can get like a – it's like $200 for a month of like unlimited, which I would probably – I would try – I'd spend $200 to try it for a month. Yeah.

But it's a really good – What's the recommendation? Like how many times a week can you do it? I would go as often as possible. I'd go every day. Well, if I'm spending $200 a month, I'm going there as much as you possibly can i go every single day you know just to see because still they're only open monday through friday so you're really only getting yeah you know still 10 bucks a crack sure um but but i would do it every day just to see

like before i could say it's bullshit or that it's a waste of money. I feel like even if it's awesome, I probably couldn't prioritize $200 a month. I'm too cheap to do that for sure. I could spend $200 a month on steroids and recover better. You know what I mean? That'd definitely be your better option if you had to. Only needles. So who do we got next to me here? Adam Scher.

Adam Scher. Tell us. Wait, is this the one that lives right north of me now? He lives over in, what is that? Golf course. Golf course. Lee Park? No.

Rolling Hills. Rolling Hills Golf Course. What the fuck? All right, here's the deal. I got to call you out. I've been seeing your vehicle on Cedar Drive an awful lot. Cedar Drive, West Palmer Circle is our road. West Palmer Circle.

And then there's East Palmer Circle. We've got a red single cab Silverado pickup with a Masanomics sticker in the window. Long box. Approximately five houses north of mine on the regular. I don't want to pop any scandal here, but I live on Cedar Drive. Anyway, tell us about your Massanomics experience. When did you join the gym? All right, when did I join the gym?

Well, Adam actually, he lived in Chicago for about a year, or a couple years. He was pursuing a mixed martial arts right right yeah yeah yeah and you actually had pretty good success there too yeah yeah four and oh uh amateur champ it's a good time you've got a belt you've got a belt even took it home with you yep got it hanging on my wall so i feel like belts are the coolest thing you can fucking do anything right it's cool it's cool i feel like belts are the coolest thing you can fucking win doing anything, right? It's cool. It's cool.

I'll bring it into the gym sometime. The thing is, I don't think he necessarily was supposed to bring it back with him. It was supposed to stay there. Yeah, that shit's mine. I fought for it, so I get to keep it, right? Anyway, I just, one day, I was like, you know what? You're going to start powerlifting. I think you'd be pretty good at it.

Yeah, yeah. That's fun. And, you know, fighting up was something that was hard for me, so I definitely need something to fill the void. Yeah. You know, because I take it seriously, pretty serious, too. Yeah. So I definitely needed something to do, and powerlifting definitely filled the void. And we got him on the Massan uh powerlifting definitely filled the void and we got him on the massonomics

powerlifting program and you know before he started we got all of his maxes or whatever and like your max and squat was like a grinder at 275 and now 365 is nothing like nothing for him and how and how long have you been at the gym? Two, three months, I'd say. Probably long enough. It's probably been about five months, I'd say. That long? Really? You sure? I'm pretty sure. Well, hold on. That's coming up hard quick then. Yeah, I suppose.

I guess you're right. What about the rivalry with Ethan? Yeah, you got a little... Let's tell us about the rivalry with Ethan here. Do you have a rivalry? Well, I don't know. See, I'm... I think I'm up on every lift by about 10 pounds. Every one. Every one. Down at the gym.

I don't know about the rivalry, guys. And I'm the little guy, too. And I'm coming. Down at the gym, we've got the PR board, which is basically some fucking haggard old wood spray painted in chalkboard paint and some rugged ass chalk laying around where people write their PRs on

and maybe talk a little bit of shit from time to time. And Adam and Ethan have been going pretty much toe for toe, one up to one up. Ethan will get you on the bench and you come back and get him by five pounds. I just want to give him confidence.

That's it. Yeah. What was your bench PR before you started? 205. 205 and then smoked 260 Wednesday, right? You hit 260 Wednesday.

Then your deadlift, you barely even knew how to deadlift I never did it to be honest I never did it before and uh just a little bit of walkthrough and I can't remember what it was like 335 wasn't it wasn't that your doing it properly and then smoked 435 so Yeah. The Massanomics program works. Yeah, it does work. I can vouch for that. Thanks, Brad Gillen. I've been here about four or five months, I guess. When we refer to the Massanomics program,

it is actually the Jackals program that we all just are on the same program. It's ours now. It's ours now. That we all just are on the same program. It's ours now. It's ours now. But, yeah, that's actually what percentage of people at the gym are on that? 50, 50 plus.

50 plus. 57.429. Every person that I refer to it, I have never, like it's never failed. I've never seen it fail anybody. Like somebody has always gotten stronger on that program. The funny thing is I talk to people all the time, you know, at, like, the CrossFit gym and things like that. And they're all like, well, what type of training are these people doing to get that strong? And I tell, like, for a lot of CrossFit people, I'll show them that program and it's like. Not enough volume, I'm sure.

Well, I was like like it is way less than you think it is it's about like doing the work fucking recover from the work and do the work whereas like crossfit people traditionally are like well if i'm not gonna throw up yeah my body doesn't feel like it's on fire i didn't do anything no way i'm getting any better which you know that that works too you can't say that but there's some value to that for from a conditioning standpoint for sure but from for strength like it's actually like not about redlining or limping out of the fucking gym every day and and that's what i found with this program volume is about intensity yeah and and doing and doing the right things at the right time and and that's what I've seen with this program as I've been going through it.

Trying to plug it in while still doing my other fitness things has tested my fucking ability. Everybody that I bring onto that program, they're always like, two sets of deadlifts. And I was like, look at everybody's deadlift on that board. It's not small. It works no shit yeah and it's also not like like i think part of it too is as you get stronger you need more volume generally but i don't think you need that volume as you start and the other thing is as you're as you're getting stronger you're not just going to grip and rip your fucking two sets of deadlifts like you're actually getting your

volume i think in your build-up to that is where you're getting that increase in volume on your secondaries yeah well yeah and and in your squats you know your front and back squats help build up your deadlift anyway a little bit you know so yeah but you know that that program's legit for sure uh when this group is over we going to have a full line change, and it's going to go completely off the rails. Are we going? It's going to be the Mastonomics frat house members and their friends that are here.

So it's probably going to be a little less lifting related and a little more, God, I don't even know what. Dick and pop jokes. We don't know what it's going to be a little less lifting related and a little more, God, I don't even know what. Which is mostly dick and car jokes. We don't know what it's going to be. And then after that, we need to get a wives and girlfriends edition as well. Well, let's roll them all over. You just heard the Masanomics podcast. With your ears, you're welcome.
