In this episode the guys break down the most effective GLP strategy for fat loss and muscle gain, covering how to start lifting before beginning a GLP, why minimal effective dose matters, keeping training volume low while on it, using essential amino acids to preserve muscle, replacing old eating behaviors with new ones, and how to scale down successfully. They also get into a probiotic study showing a 40 percent reduction in anxiety among menopausal women, Sal's appearance on Dr. Seeds' peptide podcast, a debate about SpaceX's trillion dollar valuation and what it means for AI infrastructure, AI getting measurably "dumber" after training on social media data, and a tangent on horror movies and low budget filmmaking economics. Then they coach live callers submitted through mplivecaller.com.
