In this episode the guys break down five ways to run for fitness — for distance, same distance for time, same time for more distance, sprinting, and running for fun. Sal shares that he ran his first mile this morning for the first time in years and how humbling it was. They also get into the story behind Sylvester Stallone writing Rocky in three days with $100 in his bank account after watching Chuck Wepner vs Muhammad Ali, Italian dialects and how Mussolini unified them, the cyclosporiasis parasite outbreak in US lettuce, the liver die-off effect and why people feel worse before they feel better when treating parasites, the GATE gifted program conspiracy theory and the Mall World dream phenomenon, and Joymode's Hard Plus compounds and what the studies show. Then they coach live callers submitted through mplivecaller.com — Kelly from Texas on anterior pelvic tilt and glute activation six months postpartum, Nicky from Ontario on a 90-day check-in showing dramatic mood, libido and energy improvements after anorexia recovery coaching, Jeremy from Indiana on physique competition prep strategy at 51, and Amanda from Indiana navigating the GLP-1 off-ramp and reverse diet while managing binge tendencies.
