  • Most underrated health and fitness pod

    I found this pod in search of improvements to my powerlifting performance. I immediately learned things that boosted my performance and I am still finding progress from what Kyle and Derek teach. They also keep me highly entertained at work. Absolutely recommend for anyone trying to get better in the gym or overall health.
