Overview: 

 

Today we are joined by a Becoming Ronin alumn, Chris McGowan.

 

This episode kicks off with OB performing a social experiment between Chris and Smitty that tests (strains?) their friendship.

We then transition to talking about the purpose of education, the ethics of paying to be verified on Instagram, Mike Mentzers tricks for hypertrophy, and signs of overtraining.

The episode wraps up with Smitty and Chris reminiscing about the funny story of how they met in the gym.
