Hosts Sal Di Stefano, Adam Schafer & Justin Andrews pull back the curtain on the mythology, snake oil and pseudo-science that pervades the fitness industry and present science-backed solutions that result in increased muscular development and performance while simultaneously emphasizing health.

They also discuss whether chemical sunscreens are actually causing more cancer than they prevent, a large UK Biobank study showing frequent sunscreen users had up to 292% higher melanoma rates, why Crisp Power protein pretzels are outperforming traditional protein snacks on satiety, and the guys' Father's Day stories — Sal's son giving him a blank trophy, Adam's perfect day including coffee in bed and a drive with Katrina, and Justin getting a violent massage from a big Chinese dude at the mall. Then they answer questions from Instagram on doing CrossFit and strength training simultaneously, progressive overload after 63, building a chest with chronic shoulder pain, and getting hired as an inexperienced new personal trainer.
