2861: If You're Not Building Muscle, You're Probably One of These 5 People | Mind Pump 2861
In this episode the guys break down the 5 types of people who just can't build muscle — Confusion Karl, Easy Stevie, Too Much Mike, Stay Shredded Sally, and Weekend Warrior Wally — and why each archetype is failing. They also get into a wild twin study showing red light therapy produced 15% more muscle growth than training alone, the latest UFO disclosure news and their theories on what's really going on, creatine officially going mainstream with non-fitness people talking about it at dinner tables, BPC-157 viral cancer fears debunked, and an ivermectin study showing 84% clinical benefit in cancer patients. Then they coach live callers submitted through mplivecaller.com — Jonathan from Northern Ireland on low testosterone as an ex-pro rugby player, Lindsay from Georgia on reverse dieting as a sleep-deprived nurse and mom of two, Rob from Connecticut on off-season strategy as a pro basketball player in Italy, and Charissa from Pennsylvania on building muscle without a traditional bulk and cut cycle.
