Summary

Specifically, why does the general public get so excited about the bench press record? We kick around this question in light of the recent 804 lb. training press by Danial Zamani. We talk about being present for Eric Spoto’s 722 lb. recording-breaking press almost 9 years ago…in the very building where we are sitting as we record. We also discuss how fucking amazing Euphoria is this season, talk about an episode we’re planning about how rituals affect performance, and plot some coverage of the dramatic series about the LA Lakers “Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty.” Have a question for us? Hit us up on social media and use the hashtag #onegoodquestion. Listener resources Danial Zamani’s press. Eric Spoto’s 722 lb. press.
