2873: The Best Way to Train for Strength AND Endurance at the Same Time

In this episode the guys break down the three ways to program endurance and strength together — same workout, different days, or alternating weeks — covering the pros, cons and who each approach is actually best for. They also get into the viral heavy metals in protein powder scare (and why it's mostly prop 65 hysteria), the ugly new electric Ferrari that has all of Italy in mourning, GLP-1 concerns about motivation and libido (and why under-eating is the real culprit), Adam's son and Catrina's brutal norovirus battle, Justin taking his sons to the gym for the first time, and Sal's dad's legendary judo match. Then they answer questions submitted through Instagram — covering long cuts, goblet squats, the one peptide they'd each keep, and Adam and Justin's favorite sports moments.
