2924: The Best Machine for Every Body Part (Including Some You've Never Seen)

In this episode the guys break down the best machines for every body part — the legendary Hammer Strength H Squat for legs, the old school Nautilus pullover for back, the Smith machine upright row and Viking press for shoulders, the FreeMotion multi-plane chest fly, the high elbow seated curl machine for biceps, the seated skull crusher machine for triceps, and the hip thrust machine for glutes. They also tell the wild true story of a Soviet doctor who performed his own appendectomy in Antarctica in 1961, get into the trainer-client event they hosted and why it was their most emotional one yet, discuss the science and health benefits of forgiveness and what the data shows about holding grudges, share the story from Les Miserables about grace and how it transforms a person, talk PDE5 inhibitors and their anti-cancer properties, and go deep on probiotics as the next major performance supplement. Then they coach live callers submitted through mplivecaller.com.
