In this episode the boys are back from 2024 USAPL Raw Nationals.

• The boys talk about if elevation can affect lifters differently during competitions.
• They speak about how reconciliation between federations could benefit the entire sport.
• The boys touch on a key flaw in federation events; Spectator Engagement. It's one more thing that federations need to figure out in order to help grow this sport. People that don't lift want to enjoy the sport too.
• Future Nationals in Atlanta may bring new opportunities.

In this episode the boys talk about how James will consider (and will be persuaded) to bring the boys some of those world famous San Antonio Churro Crumble Cookies with him to the 2024 USAPL Raw Nationals, in Salt Lake City, Utah.

They also cover several lifters and talk about their expectations.

The boys will be out in Salt Lake City, Utah to compete, help, and experience another round of the USAPL Raw Nationals.
