When we were kids, we played the hot, cold or in between game. Today we’re playing the grown-up version with a hot study about cold water immersion. Is it the holy grail of recovery and athleticism, the elusive secret to power without bulk? Or is it…

In the second part, it’s serious business and high-level science when Martin breaks down the ’Muscle Full- hypothesis. And then the cold-hearted bastard equips a new study and chops the poor theorem 's head off.

This week’s episode is special and comes in two parts. Why? Because we had two studies to talk about and Lach’s date night to work into the mix as well. Given the explosive content, that’s a good thing.
In the first part, we expose some outright crookery making the rounds on YouTube. Under the guise of science, a viral video is baiting and fooling creators and viewers alike. But we do not fall for cheap tricks and we do not pardon the instigators.

In today’s episode, we laugh at an outrageous study and answer questions like ‘how much does a calorie burn?’, ’why does scientists lie?’ and 'what is Lach filming in his garage?'...Wait a second, OK, so scratch the last one but there’s at least two answers in here that you'll want to hear. And that ain't cat piss.

A new study on ghrelin sparks talks on fasting, rituals, spiderman singlets, anorexia, politics and the illusion of change. And as crazy as it sounds, it kind of works.

When rappers say hunnid bands, they’re referencing hundred dollar bills. When Lach says hunnid bands, he’s referencing the load resulting from multiple elastic bands attached to a barbell with or without plates. Does he suffer from fuckarounditis? Let’s investigate. This is an episode about the science of bands and everything else you would want to know about them.

According to science, hack squats are better for power and muscle, and according to one of our hosts, resistance training with bands can substitute for plates. Needless to say, lively debate ensues. A challenge is issued. Bonus: The Greatest Tip of the Week Ever, end of the show (Lach).

Our hosts talk about Hollywood, chess and a recent study on pain and weight training performance. Somewhere along the way, Lach reveals the greatest leg day hack of all time, and that statement is not an exaggeration.

Martin has forced Teddy through various tests. Why? To create the ultimate Leangainer. A man who feels no pain, knows no fuckarounditis and fears no squat, deadlift or other maker of greatness. But he won't tell you that so they talk about DNA diets and some other bullshit.

Sorry, gang. I ate so much cheesecake yesterday that it melted my brain and now I can't recall what it was that we talked about. It did involve calves though.
