Customer Reviews
Barbell Shrugged is a Great Podcast!
Really enjoy this podcast and always learn something fascinating! Loved the episode on Evidence-Based Strategies to Reduce Risk of Dementia and Alzheimers with Dr. Tommy Wood! Amazing take aways and tips on how we can keep our brain healthy for a lifetime. Thank you!
Keeps getting better!
I’ve been listening to barbell shrugged for a couple of years now but lately I have been loving the podcast even more since Dan Garner has come on! So enjoying his wealth of knowledge and view points on how health, performance and body composition come together in a more holistic way. Also really loving the topics lately! Keep it up guys! Y’all are now one of my favorite podcasts!
Low Signal, High Noise
Guys, a little organization and clarity in the message would go a long way. I’ve listened to numerous episodes only to get 30 mins in and realize I haven’t heard anything of actual substance. Just a bunch of half-thoughts and interjections and giggling. Perhaps consider what you’re trying to get across with each episode, then distill it and eliminate all the fluff and filler. Would be appreciated.
