In this episode the guys break down 5 lessons from bodybuilders that everyone should learn — mind muscle connection and why feeling the target muscle is a learnable skill that changes everything, the pump as a signal for hydration, recovery and muscle connection rather than just an ego boost, Lee Haney's principle of stimulate don't annihilate and why bodybuilders pioneered recovery science, why protein was ridiculed for decades before the rest of the world caught up, and why bodybuilders sleep more than almost any other athlete category and how it drove early recovery science. They also discuss Sal's coaching group chat on sleep and training decisions, why probiotics have moved into Sal's top tier supplements alongside creatine and multivitamins, how GLP-1 users are now spending four times more on fitness than non-users and why trainers should embrace this rather than fear it, the fascinating data on how long it takes to lose muscle and strength after stopping training .
