    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. WOULD YOU RATHER... A: Meet someone and fall in love. You spend the best 12 months of your life together. You're compatible in every way and your family and friends love them. 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.
