Summary

Mike shares some signs that fitness social media and YouTube are regaining some of their old traction (2015-17 vibes, anyone?). Even attendance at the Arnold seems to be on the upswing again. Speaking of the Arnold, are we bummed that we didn’t go this year after making a return as spectators last year?

Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila) ran the board and joined us for this one.
