Ep 60 The Boyz Are Back After A 2 Year Break

Training, Body Composition, and the Reality of Long-Term Progress In this episode, Shane and Lawrence catch up after nearly two years and dig into the big life changes, training shifts, and mindset updates that have shaped both of their paths. From moving house and finishing a PhD to marriage, body composition changes, and redefining what “progress” really means, this conversation is a practical look at how training evolves with real life. They also go deep on the tension between strength, leanness, and performance — especially for lifters who want to be both aesthetic and strong. If you’ve ever wondered how to balance powerlifting, bodybuilding, running, nutrition, and long-term consistency, this episode is packed with honest insights.
