Mike shares some signs that fitness social media and YouTube are regaining some of their old traction (2015-17 vibes, anyone?). Even attendance at the Arnold seems to be on the upswing again.

We didn’t have this announcement on our radar: “The IPF and CBS Sports (broadcaster of the Super Bowl 2024) have signed a multi-year agreement to bring IPF powerlifting to the TV in the USA and the whole of North America.” (Full release here: https://www.powerlifting.sport/about-ipf/news/news-detail/ipf-secures-tv-broadcast-partnership-for-north-america).

We’ve all seen lifters go hard at the beginning and then burn out fast. Is it possible to pace yourself and continue to enjoy it year after year? Is competing the answer? We start off with trying to get consensus on what kinds of dogs we remind each other of. Mike accuses Matt of being into Warhammer, and we wonder if ren fairs are still a thing.
