Strength talk from the gym’s weird corner.
The gist
Massenomics Podcast mixes powerlifting, strongman, home gyms, and gym talk with a running layer of inside jokes. Tanner and Tommy move from bars, machines, and meet logistics to sponsor reads, GymRadar updates, and offbeat stories without sanding off the mess.

About Massenomics Podcast
Massenomics Podcast is strength talk with a long-running clubhouse feel. Tanner and Tommy are recurring voices, and the show’s center of gravity is the culture surrounding lifting rather than a narrow instruction lane. Recent episodes move through home gym products, machine-heavy garage gyms, equipment tabs, power bars, Arnold recap stories, gym tours, lifting burnout, and powerlifting meet logistics. The details can get very specific. One discussion names hip abduction, leg press, hack squat, lat tower, fly, pendulum squat, hip thrust, leg curl, and leg extension machines while still keeping the conversation loose enough for jokes and detours. That combination defines the show. It can be practical without becoming sterile. It can be silly without drifting away from the gym. Sponsor reads are folded into the same rhythm, with strength-world brands appearing inside the banter. GymRadar also shows up as an ongoing project, especially around gym listings, certified training facilities, equipment browsing, and home gym tours. The show often treats gyms as places with personalities. A blacked-out garage gym is not just equipment inventory; it becomes a scene to look at, compare, and joke about. Guests and named subjects appear through the strength and home gym community, including Rory Ellis of Rorman Strength and Darko. The conversation around Darko includes training routine, work demands, weight loss, food habits, and the role of sleep, but it stays in the same casual room as everything else. That room can be rowdy. The humor includes crude asides, running bits, and self-referential callbacks, including references to an unrecorded supporting-member pre-show. The appeal is not polish. It is familiarity, equipment fluency, and a willingness to let strength talk stay weird, social, and human. For PlayNext discovery, Massenomics fits best as a show for lifters who want the scene around the barbell: the gear, the meets, the garage gyms, the road stories, and the jokes that keep showing up between sets.
Made for: Suits a listener who cares about lifting culture as much as programming: home gyms, machines, bars, meets, gyms, and the people around them. It also suits someone comfortable with loose banter and recurring inside jokes.
What sets it apart: Massenomics stands apart by making strength equipment and gym culture feel conversational rather than clinical. It treats garage gyms, sponsor reads, travel recaps, GymRadar updates, and lifting talk as parts of the same ongoing hangout.
In their own words
The Massenomics Podcast has been described as "the lifting podcast about nothing". We (Tommy & Tanner) cover relevant topics in strength training, powerlifitng and strongman, but we do it with our spin of humor and entertainment.
Why you'd press play
A blacked-out garage gym gets a machine inventory; your tolerance for bathroom humor gets tested too.
Press play if you want
- to linger over a garage gym's unusually detailed machine lineup
- to hear a guest connect consistent training with work hours and sleep
