Summary
If you've been doing seated shoulder presses, you're leaving real gains on the table — Sal, Adam, and Justin make the case for standing overhead press as one of the two best exercises you could ever do, and explain why it's nearly disappeared from gyms. Then they go deep on BPC-157, covering the animal studies that are almost hard to believe, where peptides actually fit in the hierarchy of diet, exercise, and supplements, and why even younger doctors still have hormone therapy stigma. Plus: California's new home kitchen law, rage rooms, the work-life balance myth, and four listener Q&As.
