Beyond the obvious soreness and fatigue, they cover broken sleep, increased cravings for comfort foods, irritability, low libido, low mood, and repeated injury.

They also cover why exercise outperforms antidepressants and talk therapy for depression and anxiety, a study on which professions age people's faces fastest, and an income-vs-attractiveness study showing women are 1,000x more sensitive to a man's earnings when rating attraction.

The truth is, exercises don't hurt you. YOUR inability to perform them does. Sal, Adam, and Justin break down a recent narrative review that reignited the deadlift debate, why experts like Dr. Stuart McGill argue against it for general populations, and why the guys think that reasoning is a dangerous slippery slope.
