Ep 323 - MASS Makes History

The MASS Research Review started in 2017 and has provided cutting-edge evidence-based fitness content - every single month - ever since. Nearly 1500 articles and videos later, the MASS Crew is all in the same physical location for the first time in history.

To commemorate the occasion, the MASS Crew sat down for a roundtable discussion about interpreting, communicating, and applying science in a nuanced manner. Listen along to gain some insights related to strengths, limitations, caveats, and tips for applying the information you gather from content creators and published research.
