Ginger and The Giant
Just two best friends talking bodybuilding, fitness, food, and everything in between.
Answering the questions no one else is, and saying the sh*t most people won’t.
If it’s on your mind, it’s probably already on the mic.
From brutal preps to cheat meals that went way too far, we’re talking real-life behind the lifting. No filters. No experts pretending to be perfect. Just honest convos, the way you’d have ‘em with your boys.
Whether you’re deep in the game or just here for the chaos — you’re in.
