Friend of the show Bobby Wagner of Tipping Pitches fame joins us to talk about the foundations of online lifting culture: where it came from and how it got to the insane state it is today. In many ways it's a battle between actual science and bro science; of which the latter now includes suntanning your balls (for some reason).

We cover the history from Usenet and early forums up to the modern influencer era. The notes Tom made are also attached if you wanted to take a look at them. This is a broad overview and there is plenty we missed. Hope you all enjoy and thanks for being patrons!
