About This Episode
<p dir="ltr">In this episode the guys break down the 5 types of people who just can't build muscle — Confusion Karl, Easy Stevie, Too Much Mike, Stay Shredded Sally, and Weekend Warrior Wally — and why each archetype is failing. They also get into a wild twin study showing red light therapy produced 15% more muscle growth than training alone, the latest UFO disclosure news and their theories on what's really going on, creatine officially going mainstream with non-fitness people talking about it at dinner tables, BPC-157 viral cancer fears debunked, and an ivermectin study showing 84% clinical benefit in cancer patients. Then they coach live callers submitted through mplivecaller.com — Jonathan from Northern Ireland on low testosterone as an ex-pro rugby player, Lindsay from Georgia on reverse dieting as a sleep-deprived nurse and mom of two, Rob from Connecticut on off-season strategy as a pro basketball player in Italy, and Charissa from Pennsylvania on building muscle without a traditional bulk and cut cycle.</p> <p dir="ltr">MAPS 15 BOGO — <a href="https://maps15bogo.com">https://maps15bogo.com</a> Buy 1 get 1 FREE — limited time (all 7 MAPS 15 programs same price)</p> <p dir="ltr">Sponsors:</p> <p dir="ltr">Eight Sleep (Pod 5 Ultra) — <a href="https://eightsleep.com/mindpump">https://eightsleep.com/mindpump</a> Code: MINDPUMP — Up to $350 off the Pod 5 Ultra.
