Say ‘Hi’ to Anders Varner, the new host of Barbell Shrugged! Anders crushed it co-hosting a bunch of shows with Mike and Doug in the past few months and will be taking over as the main Barbell Shrugged host. Doug will remain as co-host and Mike will focus on his new show, The Bledsoe Show, which is part of the Shrugged Collective. In this episode, Mike passes the torch to Anders, and we dive into how Barbell Shrugged was born, what gets us fired up to keep recording shows, the future of Barbell Shrugged and Shrugged Collective, and much more. -Mike, Doug and Anders ----------------------------------------------- Please support our partners!
