Introduction
In episode #14 of Home Gym History, Rob guides Jake and @man_who_parks_in_gym through the history of products that gym equipment suppliers have sold that aren’t actually gym equipment!
We touch up things like York selling protein (can you imagine REP, Titan, or Rogue creating their own brand of protein?), teeth lifters, the first apparel sold, and many more random stuff.
You can find this episode on Spotify, Apple, Garage Gym Radio, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
