Summary
This week’s episode is proudly presented by new Club Gym Nerd member, Saul, who joined at the Episode Dedication level. Saul dedicated this episode to Natalia Frolova's 1986 floor routine. This Soviet great does one of his favorite old school routines; he watches it from time-to-time and not enough people know about her amazingness! We couldn't agree more. Thank you for supporting the show and spending the Frolova, Saul!
