In this episode the guys break down the best forms of cardio for fat loss, endurance and athleticism. They cover why walking is the best cardio for fat loss, why steady state is best for building endurance, why HIIT develops the kind of explosive stamina that sports actually require, and why playing a sport or just going out and having fun is the most underrated form of cardio for everything. They also get into Butcher Box pricing vs. fast food and why the grass-fed quality argument actually makes financial sense, Adam tracking his calorie burn on Oura and noticing how fitness naturally increases NEAT over time, Adam's fat loss competition strategy heading into a Cabo trip, the origin of the phrase blowing smoke, the Canadian grandma euthanasia lawsuit that has everyone appalled, Max starting drum lessons and showing real promise in his first session, and Justin finally agreeing to do the Organifi parasite cleanse. Then they answer questions from Instagram.
