Includes Butt Building Diet Guide, Women's Supplement Guide, at-home dumbbell version and a free second program at checkout (Muscle Mommy or Muscle Mommy 15). In this episode the guys break down five common hypertrophy study findings that do not hold up in the real world \u2014 why 15-20 sets per body part per week works in 8-12 week studies but burns out real people within months, why light weight and heavy weight producing the same results ignores how fatigue affects the big compound lifts, why training close to failure being essential misses how powerlifters and Olympic lifters build world-class physiques without it, why frequency not mattering is a study artifact that disappears when you control for real world volume, and why periodization making no difference only holds up because studies are too short. They also cover Sal's conversation with a kid from church whose gains jumped 20 pounds across his big lifts in one month after switching from a 5-day split to full body three days a week, the value of antagonist supersets for saving time and adding variety, the Stallone interview where he revealed bulimia and obsessive body image struggles during Rocky 3, Adam using Kion aminos during his current cut and how they are helping him preserve muscle on lower calories, the Wendy's screamo song ad that Adam thinks is brilliant marketing, Justin's viral Instagram moment ordering a well-done steak by accident, the airport buddy ugly pants trend, the sex recession data showing churchgoing married couples in their 50s and 60s reporting the best and most frequent sex, and Canada's assisted suicide statistics showing over 15,300 deaths last year representing 1 in 20 Canadian deaths.
