Yes, you read the title correctly. Politics. They affect us all, on multiple levels. So, after some news on hidden factors that may be packing fat on your frame, the guys tackle the forbidden. In what ways do politics and government regulations affect us as lifters? Discussion ranges from health and nutrition licensure, which are state regulated, to dietary supplement differences between republicans and democrats, to healthcare. Even in-the-gym politics get attention. Bodybuilders, powerlifters, olympic lifters - on a micro-level, can we manage ourselves better than dysfunctional politicians do? Liberal or conservative, feel free to join the discussion!
