They’re being emotional about a scientific issue..

We welcome Dr John Jaquish back to "The Hacked Life" podcast for the third time!!! In our last two episodes we broke down variable resistance, the X3 bar, Osteostrong, and tons, tons, of info. Well, he comes back a third time and we go deep again, but this time delving deep into his bestselling and highly controversial book Weightlifting Is A Waste of Time & So Is Cardio. We talk about veganism and why it'll be one of the greatest scandals in history, why the fitness industry is an absolute joke, why fasting actually builds muscle, and much, much more. We just scratch the surface of what the book breaks down into detail.
