Getting Stronger Through Stinging Points

Summary: 

In today’s episode, Greg and Eric reflect on the 4-year anniversary of their monthly research review called “Monthly Applications in Strength Sport,” also known as “MASS,” which they write alongside co-authors Dr. Mike Zourdos and Dr. Eric Helms (15:05). To commemorate the occasion, they’ve released a free “Best of MASS” issue and they're launching a big charity sale from April 27 - May 4. Greg and Eric also present Research Reviews about testosterone boosters (54:46) and barbell velocity-tracking technologies (39:37) in this episode, along with a Coach’s Corner segment about sticking points (1:35:54), some shocking information about eels (1:49:01), and much more.
