#178 Dean, Ryan & George - Milligram For Milligram

The Flex Boys sit down for a full listener Q&A, covering everything from peak week carb-loading numbers that'll make your jaw drop, oral vs. injectable pharmacokinetics, and coaching women through prep. They also dig into the mindset shift every new coach needs to make: understanding principles instead of just regurgitating protocols. Plus quick-fire questions on diet staples, beard-shaving bribes, and a very dicey would you rather to end the show.

You move in and start building a mutual picture of your future together. Then you find out you're actually half siblings (by blood, not marriage)
OR
B: (Top) partial rep all lower body movements for the rest of your life. "
