Are you ready to get buff? Boy, have you come to the right place!
\n
\nIn this episode, we learn from the VERY REAL strongman duo, Chop and Steele. They\u2019ll lead you through workouts you\u2019ve probably never heard of\u2026 like chopping twigs in half! Wanna work those legs? Try stomping on an Easter basket! When you\u2019re really ready to get your pump on, fill a jug with some leftover turbo gravy. Do a few reps. You\u2019ll definitely feel the burn! (What\u2019s turbo gravy, you ask? What a weird question! You\u2019ve obviously never heard of Chef Keith Guerke.)
\n
\n\u2026 are you starting to think that these guys aren\u2019t the real deal? Well, that probably means you\u2019re smarter than the morning news anchors who invited Chop and Steele on air.

\nAnd now for a note about our process. For this episode, Kristin read a bunch of articles, then spat them back out in her very limited vocabulary. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.
