2884: These 5 Exercises Are Almost Never Done Right (And It's Hurting Your Progress)

In this episode the guys break down five popular exercises that are almost always done wrong and sending people backward — jump boxes, hip abduction machines, circuits, renegade rows, and ultra high rep training. They also get into the science behind why ketone IQ works (mitochondrial efficiency, BDNF, and clean ATP production with no stimulants), Sal taking his wife to see the horror movie Obsession and deeply regretting it, the SpaceX IPO and the 4,000 new millionaires it will create overnight, 24 Hour Fitness removing basketball courts to add more weight room space, Jacob Collier and the guys' appreciation for elite musical talent, and Mind Pump offering 80% off select programs to high school coaches and teachers. Then they coach live callers submitted through mplivecaller.com.
