2821: If You're Not Doing THIS You're Leaving Gains On The Table

If you're only lifting weights to build muscle… you might be leaving serious gains on the table.

In this episode, the guys break down why strength training alone isn't always enough, and how adding the right forms of cardio, mobility work, recovery, and even modalities like Pilates can actually improve muscle growth, performance, and longevity.

They explain how your "gas tank" (cardiovascular fitness) can limit your strength, why mobility unlocks more muscle potential, and how tools like sauna use and recovery strategies can enhance results without overtraining.

The conversation also expands into modern stress, community, and why human connection may be one of the most overlooked factors in overall health and resilience.

Plus, they dive into new research on fish oil and mental health, and share some wild fitness and animal facts along the way.
