  • Shaw Knight - Muscle for Hire
    Nov 10 2024
    Bodybuilding isn’t cheap- food, gear, training, and coaching can make the road to becoming a legend super expensive.

    Now that’s where the generous benefactors come in handy!

    Famous bodybuilders like Arnold Schwartzenegger, Sylvester Stallone and Kai Greene made money as muscle for hire and it wasn’t always as security detail. Muscle worship and muscle posing can sometimes bring in the bucks if you find the right audience.

    Let’s Grow Big Together! The podcast that invites you to come to the muscle worship party, even if you’re not jacked yet.

    In this series, we take a look at the passion for muscle, adventures in bodybuilding, muscle gods, muscle worship and practical advice to put on the gains.

    Today long term listener, go-go boy and musical theater enthusiast Shaw Knight takes us behind the scenes of lavish muscle worship parties you’ve always heard about but seemed too wild to be true.

Enter-tainting, Educational, and Wholesome

From one queer gym bro to another, thank you for this first of all.

I thoroughly enjoy the queer perspective and how interconnected fitness/bodybuilding is with queerness. Came for the thirst and curiosity, stayed for the genuinely uplifting, educational, and humorous content. I have been binging this and realised this needs more episodes! From Australia with love.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
