With your host, Denny K.

Professor Booey and the Luke Summers.

And now, toes forward, hips locked, shoulders set, and retract those scampulas.

It's time for the knowledge bombs.

Hey everyone. Thanks for tuning into Power Athlete Radio.

Boy, do we have a show for you this week.

The highly anticipated interview with the self-proclaimed world's most muscular DJ is here.

Our fascination with this hyper-confident caricature of masculinity began some time ago, and now finally, we have come face-to-face, or rather ear-to-ear, with Gilles Iinerson, the brains, and more importantly the body, behind DJ Musselboy.

Despite the superficial exterior, Gills is a complicated man with a serious love for strength training.

Through our conversation, we find that the passion for lifting preceded his introduction into the limelight. But Gilles' public persona did not go without scrutiny. As his popularity gained

momentum and success, so did the hater outrage. How did DJ Musselboy combat the misguided opinions? Simple, he didn't.

He embraced the notoriety, albeit negative, and capitalized on the imposed stereotypes.

Gills tells us about some of the major influences in his life, one in particular who is an Iceland

favorite, Jean-Paul Sigerson, who famously said there is no reason to be alive

if you can't deadlift. And later he died at age 32 doing what he loved. Yes, he died deadlifting.

Although Gills is widely known as DJ Musselboy and one of the pioneers of metrosexuality,

his interest and focus has always been training.

As an educated fitness professional, he maintains that diet is the single most limiting factor

for the majority of his clients. This hurdle is one that he imposes straight from the start

with any athlete, and as he assures us, no matter how much they might struggle, he, quote, never gives up on them.

And now I'm pleased to present you with admirer of Arnold, Slyis Stallone, and Nick Cage.
