Summary

It’s been just about a year since the first COVID gym lockdowns, and for many, they are still happening. Some have been unable to train in the way they were accustomed to for the majority of that time, almost everyone has had to adjust, and the social dynamics of training are absent when training alone, at home. Some have had to ask the question “who am I without lifting?”, coming up with as many different answers as there are lifters. In this episode, we reflect on the road behind us, how we’ve coped, the reasons we lift, and the meaning we make when our pursuit doesn’t go as planned. Join us, while it’s dark sometimes, we know there is light at the end of the tunnel.

0:38.6	fatigue of what's been going on.
0:40.3	Before we get into that, though, Eric, the controversy follows us.
0:45.5	Here's what, let me give a brief recap for everyone.
0:47.7	I'll try and be as succinct as possible.
0:50.0	So the very last episode, we had the Mask Boys Boys on. So we had Eric Trexler.
0:54.5	We had Greg Nuckles.
0:55.2	We had Mike Zordos.
0:56.0	Who, powerful roundtable on epistemology, okay?

1:01.7	And at the end, Eric had extended a few episodes prior to Eric Trexer on behalf of Iron
