0:00.0	What's going on, everybody? Welcome to another episode of Iron Culture presented by Mass.
0:10.2	This one, I am not joined by the wonderful Dr. Trexler, which is only fair because I have abandoned the
0:17.5	cult multiple times in pursuit of being naked on stage in very dark
0:23.0	coloring that you have to remove before you go out in public in 2025 as a white dude like
0:28.3	myself or you could be mistaken for doing something very inappropriate. But I've been holding
0:32.5	it down for bodybuilding while Trex has been holding it down for iron culture, so now I'm returning the
0:38.1	favor. And I am very happy to be joined by an awesome guest, who I will introduce just in one
0:44.0	second. But for all of you, listeners, if you could do us the favor of just making sure that
0:49.5	you smash that like, you smash that subscribe, you smash that follow, you give us five stars, and also if you
0:56.6	really want to be that top tier supporter of the show, of course, check out Mass Research Review.
1:03.5	We've got an awesome, awesome issue that just came out on the 1st of November, and I say that

1:21.5	approach to dieting and really trying to show both the art and the science of it and the latest
1:26.3	issue of math. So if you want to check that out, that's something that the members are reading right now. And it's got a really good insight of not only my personal experience, but also the research supporting how one does go about doing that and the way you can coach and learn how to do it on your own in a far faster way than the 20 years it took me to really figure out how to do it or the better part of that.
1:49.1	Additionally, make sure you go check out our good friends over at Elite FTS.
1:54.6	We've got a great code and everything or almost everything that they have.
1:58.6	You can get at a discount using the code MRR 10.
2:02.4	That's Mass Research Review 10 to help you remember it.
2:05.0	And big shout out to Dave Tate and supporting us and doing the great work they do.
2:10.1	So without housekeeping out of the way, I want to welcome 2024 vice champion in the middleweight division placing second to the arguably the most well-lawed WMBF champion,
2:25.3	Babakari Nyang, who is I think the only bodybuilder to have won three overall titles.
