In case you didn’t know, me and Spud are frequently confused as twins, two assholes-no waiting or brothers. While we aren’t related, we are brothers.

.

.
Susan, his wife said we share the same brain, so between the two of us we have one.

.

.
Last week, Spud and Susan came to Boston for vacation and we had a good ole time. We ate a lot at some really good joints, drank a bit, and went all over Boston to see the sights.

.

I had him autograph the Monolift while he was there. That is a special honor reserved for the greats.

One AWESOME thing we did was visit the Body World exhibit at the Museum of Science. If you’ve never heard of it, Google it. They took a bunch of cadavers, stripped the skin off and posed them in all sorts of activities.

.
While it may sound gross, it was very educational. Our understanding of anatomy was greatly improved as we geeked out on all of the origins, insertions, nerve bundles, bones and interesting other body parts..

.
If you work in this field, attending this exhibit will help you do your job better.
And it’s fun.

.
I also decided to sit my doppelganger down and do an interview.
For those of you who don’t know Spud, you should.

.

He is a long time member of TeamElitefts and a legendary powerlifter.
He is also the owner of Spud Inc. straps and Spud Inc Gym in South Carolina.
Spud Inc straps makes all sorts of incredibly innovative straps for strength training.

.
Some of my favorites (as listed in the video) are the:
