In this episode the guys break down 5 tips for bigger arms — full range of motion and why going lighter beats stopping short, always including a stretch exercise like incline curls or overhead tricep extensions, why elbow angles completely change which part of the muscle you target, using compound lifts like close-grip bench and chin-ups as the foundation, and how occlusion training can add serious size without heavy weight. They also get into cannabis now beating alcohol as America's most commonly used daily substance and the loneliness epidemic it's feeding, the over-justification effect and how rewarding kids for things they love actually kills their motivation, the power of validation and why it's different from coddling, MOTS-C peptide being back on the MP Hormones menu and how it compares to SS-31 for mitochondrial energy, and crazy new patents including a Motorola throat tattoo microphone and Amazon's flying drone warehouse. Then they coach live callers submitted through mplivecaller.com.
