In this episode the guys break down the worst fitness lies that are quietly holding people back — harder is not always better and sometimes kills your progress, more is not better when the stress bucket is already full, walking absolutely counts and dramatically improves longevity at 8 to 10,000 steps a day, soreness does not mean your workout was effective and the opposite is often true, and cardio is for endurance not fat loss which always comes from diet. Justin is out sick so this is Sal and Adam only. They also cover how both of them are in a calorie deficit and using Kion essential amino acids to preserve muscle, Adam's hilarious medium underwear situation that sent him into a mild panic, where they think their body fat currently is and why they are both delaying the DEXA test on purpose, and Sal trying the Victory Super Patch before recording and noticing subjective performance improvements that rival creatine and caffeine in D1 athlete studies. Then they coach live callers submitted through mplivecaller.com.
