Hey everybody this episode's brought to you by lift big eat big's new workout program the phalanx method

Coach powerlifter strongman and historian Brandon Morrison took a unique approach in his creation to this three-block six-month-long effort.

Using ancient sources and modern techniques, he was able to recreate the training of one of the

history's most destructive military forces, the phalanx. And it's not just the sales line either. This is only three days a week in the gym and it's brutal.

He also includes little historical tidbits every week to keep you interested and to keep you hooked.

Like on anniversaries of stuff,

I always forget that it's the anniversary

and I don't talk about it.

But thankfully, like, the entire month of October

it kind of accounts for Halloween, right?

That counts. Yeah, totally. You're not a history aficionado but you are a true crime

addict. Oh yes I love me some serial killers which is why I brought you in today

we're talking about like the only time in the entire year it makes sense for us to
