Hey, what's up everybody? This is Chris. This week on Barbell Shrug, it's not your typical episode, baby.

Get on over to barbellshrug.com, queue up the video version, get your friends over, make some food,

turn on the HDTV and enjoy the show.

But if you are listening to the audio version, we broke this episode in three parts.

This is part two of three. We are in the factory with a Lake Go CEO Eric Blomberg,

learning just what it takes to manufacture the world's best barbells.

Hey, this is Rich Froning, you're listening to Barbell Shrug for the video version, go to barbellshrug.com.

And we're back at a Lake Go offices slash manufacturing of the barbell area place.

And we're going to be talking about, well, we were talking about, we were talking about, we were talking about waffles,

We got a little bit, we wanted to talk mostly about the history, but we dug into the technology of the bar and all that.

He's the one that really runs the show and then we just get off track.

Look at all this sweetest steel, baby.
