Summary
What if everything you thought you knew about fitness was wrong? Imagine if much of the effort you've exerted in the gym over the years turned out to be a waste of time? Have you ever been disappointed by your muscle gain or fat loss efforts? Or perhaps you've ignored the issue altogether because you didn't identify with the bodybuilding jocks and meatheads who seem to make up the majority of gym culture.
No matter what your level of knowledge, experience, or even interest in the world of fitness is, our guests Sal Di Stefano and Adam Schafer from the mega-hit podcast MindPump and are here on the show to deliver the most epic, myth-busting interview ever. They've spent their entire adult lives relentlessly researching and testing every workout and fitness supplement on the planet, and have determined what's effective, safe, dangerous, and in some cases downright BS, and during this interview, they pull no punches when it comes to delivering the raw, uncut truth.
With the availability of so much misinformation and continuously evolving scientific research, you owe it to yourself to listen to this cutting-edge report on the current state of affairs in the world of fitness. By the end of this marathon double episode, you'll not only gain a broad understanding or your body, and what forms of exercise best serve it, but you'll also likely laugh your ass off- which also happens to be excellent for your health.
Welcome to the wild world of MindPump. Time to get swoll.
