What's going on everybody? Welcome back to Iron Culture. This will be the final interview series that I've done with some of the 2025 WMBF pro athletes who had an amazing showing at Worlds.

Today it is just me, no Dr. Eric Trexler, but I am joined by

Shrinath Ganesh, who is your new short, tall, classic physique world champion from WNBF

Worlds, which is pretty cool because there's a new division in the WNBF. It finally decided in 2025 that the demand

was high enough and that there was a way to potentially create this class. I've had the privilege

of being on a committee for the WNBF that's tried to clarify the rules and we're working on that and I think this year was overall pretty successful

and we got to crown our first world champions which was an honor to see. So today I'm going to

have a great conversation with Shrinath and the reason why I wanted to specifically speak to

Shrinath is because we had the privilege in honor of competing together

at the WNWMWF 2025 Muscle Mayhem Competition. And I actually talked about that a little bit

on Iron Culture previously. And you might have remembered I referred to him just simply as Ganesh.

I forgot his first name. I remember his last name.

But it's appropriate because, as you guys know, Ganesh is an Indian god. And my man was on

stage looking like a deity, so aesthetic. So I gave him that godhood early. And I was just simply

predicting that he would maybe end up winning a world title.

So my loss to Shreeneath for my not getting my pro card in Classic has aged very well.

Now I get to say, well, I've only lost to a world champion in Classic physique.

So no, thank you, sir, for not only coming on the podcast, but also for doing so well,

because it makes me feel better about myself, which is the only thing that's important,

as you know, Shrina.

No, thank you, for having me on this podcast.

It's been an honor.
