Good stuff, gentlemen! See you both soon
Good to know about the Nemesis bar, I wanted to get one, now I'll think about it. I just got some handles from Bare Steel Equipment and really like it.
Nice podcast, brochachos! I like the Rogue stainless lat pull-down bar. But that’s also on the expensive side.
If I were Rep I would never come back. Keep building online communities and scope. Home gym con I’m sure is happy to have them.

No doubt!
Yeah, the strengthco did the same thing with their T-shirts and stickers, but they’re an official sponsor so if you’re in a sponsor, you have rights to use the likeness and the name for promoting purposes because you’ve paid to become a sponsor you have a licensing agreement. My guess is rep wasn’t a sponsor that year.
