Dr. L is on the road and calling in to Iron Radio Headquarters. The poor audio of his lame little cell phone and laptop are evident.

The talk turns to powerlifting and the natural bodybuilders who have been coming out of the woodwork with some hefty claims of 700-plus deads and 400-plus bench presses. Are these relatively little bodybuilder dudes legit? Listen to what the guys have to say. ***PS IronRadio is now jointly airing on PRIMAL FM on Saturday nights; your radio is no longer safe.
