What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Overall, the combination of Dave"The interrupter" Palumbo and Chris Aceto works. Despite the fact Dave simply cannot resist interrupting Chris and guests, it is the best bodybuilding podcast around. Chris is one of the few who can outsmart Palumbo. This drives Dave nuts!!! ... and of course more interruptions. I respect Palumbo's brash predictions and honest recommendations. Although I disagree with him on many related topics, Dave Palumbo is an entertainer. Without each this wouldn't work, but they do have each other and it works! Strong recommend.

Noone explains the most complex subjects in a simpler, easy to understand than Dave Palumbo Hes got such a great sense of humor too The best interviewer in the fitness business cause hes actually been there. My favorite podcast on the planet

GorillaCookie · Feb 2020

I have been a listener for over 2 years and there’s never been a bad episode. If you love bodybuilding or even just a fan you will love this podcast. They have been doing this show for 10 years and you can tell Dave and Chris are geniuses

Awesome way to keep up with the pro circuit and the Olympia. Great information on day to day knowledge as well.

Jtmw2k11 · Oct 2018

Heavy Muscle Radio used to be the best bodybuilding podcast around, but ever since Dave moves to FL it’s become a life gabfest between he and Chris with no passion for bodybuilding today. The show has moments where they review big shows that are decent, but they never bring on athletes like they used to, and they seem to be dragging this out without any enthusiasm. MD Global Muscle Radio, Real Bodybuilding, and It’s Just Bodybuilding have way surpassed HMR. Really sad to see a once great show devolve.
