Hey everyone! Really quick to update everyone, last week we had some technical difficulties. I (Jimmy) was without internet for 5 days last week and I had no way to get this episode off my computer or upload it. This is the first weekly upload we have missed ever. It really upset me not to be able to get an episode out. Anyway we hope you enjoy the episode. We start out the episode by going over some of our worst experiences recording this podcast. Things that were absolutely horrible to go through just for the sake of getting an episode out. Then we go into a discussion on how to dirty bulk or how to clean bulk. We have covered dirty bulking before but this time we gave a bit more in-depth with Jimspiration. If you enjoyed the episode please leave a rating on the podcast and let us know how we can improve! Thank you for the continued support and continued viewership. We appreciate all of you! Feel free to follow us on twitter and instagram @Catobophobia

In this episode Jimmy, Kareem, & Jimmy go over a few studies regarding dietary cholesterol.

The discussion starts with the talk about cholesterol and we later transition in to talk about body acceptance and the body positivity movement.

To end off the episode we get into a little bit of shit talk involving each others lifts and Jimmy S' first competition.
