Issue 153

Shane Carwin recently stated on Twitter he “had the best wife in the world” after she made him her recipe for protein pancakes.

It’s hard to disagree.

After posting a picture of the pancakes on the Internet, one daring fan told Carwin “they look like sh*t.” Ever the gentleman, Carwin politely replied: “My wife made me them so they’re the best damn thing I’ve ever tasted.” What a guy.

Packed full of protein and virtually zero fat, they may become a staple of any warrior’s diet.
