2879: How to Eat Carbs for Muscle Gains and Fat Loss (The Full Breakdown)

2879: How to Eat Carbs for Muscle Gains and Fat Loss (The Full Breakdown)

In this episode the guys break down how to eat carbs for muscle gains and fat loss — why they're not essential but are beneficial, how to figure out if you do better higher carb or lower fat, timing carbs around workouts, choosing easy-digesting sources, and why drinking carbs is almost always a mistake. They also get into a deep dive on PDE5 inhibitors (Viagra/Cialis) and the emerging data showing 30–40% reduction in all-cause cardiovascular mortality, potential neuroprotective and anti-cancer effects, and why Sal thinks they'll be recommended to most men over 40 within a decade. Plus: side bends as a highly underrated QL exercise, the Guy Ritchie movie "In the Gray," Sal's son's gem hustle, Adam's commercial-grade mosquito killer, Google releasing 32 million lab-bred mosquitoes into California, pirates and their eye patches, cauliflower ear plastic surgery in Russia, and giant tree spiders in Malaysia. Then they coach live callers submitted through mplivecaller.com — Jesse from Florida on reverse dieting after a bad coach left her overtrained and underfed, Augie from Alabama on combining MAPS PPL with running for fall race prep, Kaylene from New York on sobriety from THC and getting comfortable bulking, and Vanessa from the UK on building her glutes while letting go of the step and scale obsession.
