On this 'chill vibes' episode of the x1@8 podcast, Alex and Bryce chat about exciting upcoming powerlifting things before turning back the clock to reflect on how they first started training for powerlifting, what a pair of dumbasses they were, and what you can learn from their experience.
After that, we hear Alex chat to Owen about his first training days, Power Unlimited and the worst supplement cycles they've ever been on. This part of the conversation was recorded before the other part. I know, it's confusing, I'm so sorry. I did my best. Please just enjoy the episode. Thanks. Bye. -

This week, the boys talk about drugs. That's right, druuuugs. They talk about all sorts of drugs, drug testing, not drug testing, and more. Why is the USAPL complaining about having to do something that the CPU managed years ago? What are the consequences of having standardised drug testing across all IPF member nations? What even are drugs? Who invented drugs and where did they come from? Is air a drug? How many drugs does it take to raise a family? Are we all, in fact, drugs? We may never truly find out.
Drugs.
