Massenomics Podcast

These men and women are the among the strongest human beings to ever walk the planet. Our Lifting Legends series spans the last 100+ years of history and includes lifters from powerlifting, strongman, weightlifting, and more. We also go through some great fan submissions in our weekly segment we call underrated/overrated.

Arm wrestling in strongman.. Is there any room for man VS man events like this in today's top level strongman competitions? You can also hear our latest tech advice in this episode, and listen to us be baffled by a 15 year old girl benching 355 pounds in competition.

What's the difference between Tom Brady and LaCroix? ... One of them is the greatest of all time, and the other one is the quarterback for the New England Patriots. Of course we also touch on the latest Amanda Lawrence/Larry Wheels news, as well as update you on our latest plans for the Arnold.

Have you noticed all the CBD posts on social media from your favorite lifters? Did Herbstrong get to the Massenomics crew?  Do we want you to use our discount code?  Find out answers to these burning questions... and much, much more in this episode. 

We are gearing up for our third trip to the Arnold.  The events of the pro strongman competition have been released, and we run down the list.  There are some brand new ones that should make for one hell of a spectacle.  Other topics that we provide our valuable expert opinions on in this episode are; The Rock's Titan Games and Rogue Fitness suing Titan Fitness.

We dug up a couple of hot deals on lifting equipment.  There's a belt out there that you probably can't afford NOT to buy if you're in the market for one.  We talk about the Reebok power shoe mess, and give our thoughts on the different heeled shoes that you can pick between.  And how many options for different wrist wraps is too many?

Did you know Larry Wheels competed in a powerlifting meet earlier this month?  And do you know how it ended? We get into it.  We also recap the highs and lows for Massenomics in 2018, as well as discuss what we think 2019 will look like for us. 

We knew that some people didn't like Layne Norton very well, but after we posted a recent Massenomics VS featuring him, we found out just how deep some of the haters are hating.  We also recap Thor's powerlifting meet, and discuss where our predictions were right, and where they were wrong.

You might as well call us "The Rock" because you are about to get the full rundown! The main topics of discussion in this episode are Planet Fitness membership statistics, the new USAPL national qualifying totals, updated predictions on Thor's powerlifting meet, and of course we had to discuss LaCroix flavors again. 

Brad "Night Moves" Neitzel returns to the Massenomics Podcast for the third time.  Our main topic of conversation revolves around the concept of co-mingling strongman training with powerlifting training throughout the year.. how to successfully compete at both... and why it's fun to do both.

We hit you with a little bit of everything in this episode.. including the USAPL/IPF drug testing news, average age and weight data of powerlifters, and our Thanksgiving adventures.  You're going to want to listen to this whole episode if you want to find out the details on the deal of a lifetime. 

Meet your Massenomics co-owner and Massenomics Podcast co-host Tommy DeFea.  There's more to this guy than just a head full of flowing locks and a strong squat.  With the help of listener questions, we peel back his many layers to get to his creamy center...

The World's Strongest Man, Hafthor Bjornsson, will be competing in his first powerlifting meet in less than one month.  We approach this subject like we approach most others.. with a lot of opinion based speculation.  We also recap some of the results from Slingshot Record Breakers, IPF Open Worlds, and the WPO.

We run down our list of ten protein packed menu items from some of the most popular fast food restaurants. These might not all be the healthiest options (might actually be the most unhealthy), but they are high in protein damn it!

It might be crazy, but we just dropped a boat load of Massenomics cash on a booth for the 2019 Arnold.  Do we know what we are doing? Nope.. but we might figure it out.  We also discuss the passing of KK, and Mark Bell dropping a quarter of a million on IPF fees.

The DeFea brothers co-pilot this episode.  There are some interesting turns, but you're not in for much turbulence... and what's this about the Massenomics guys getting their own 2019 calendar with puppies?

By now you have probably already seen the results of Big Dogs 3 & USAPL Nationals, but you haven't heard the Massenomics take on what went down yet!  We cover the highs, the lows, and we talk out of our asses for a bit.. as per usual.

What is up with these proposed rule changes for the IPF? Some could make some sense, and others seem ridiculous. There's probably a good chance most would never happen, but it's still fun to dream.

Big Dogs 3 is coming up on October 14th.  We anticipate we will see some monster totals come out of this one.  We asked the meet director and some of the lifters about the event, and got their predictions.  Listen to see who Brandon Allen, Dan Bell, Markos, and others think will end up on the podium.

What do we love, and what do we hate about social media?  We discuss how we utilize it for Massenomics, and we talk about some other companies and lifters that we think have it figured out.  We also look into our crystal ball to predict changes with Instagram in the coming years.

We know you all listen to the Massenomics Podcast to hear our expert bodybuilding opinions.  So here is what we made of the 2018 Mr. Olympia competition.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you know about the vertical diet. We finally got with the times and read the e-book so we could highlight our favorite takeaways from the diet, as well as some things we aren't quite as sure about.

We weigh in on the "what would happen if Larry Wheels tried strongman" debate.  We don't know if it will ever happen, but it would sure be fun to see it.  We also talk about the idea of financing gym equipment purchases with monthly payments.

We discuss the recent record breaking performances at Boss of Bosses V and The Tribute Meet.. and we ask ourselves why those meets were on the same weekend? As a bonus we also talked about some of our favorite Netflix, Hulu, and podcast series.

In this episode we discuss the results of the Massenomics Strongman Showdown.  We evaluated the new team format, and go over some of the highlights from the day.  We also introduced our new weekly segment, the "Open Powerlifting Stat of the Week."
