In this very special episode of MASS Office Hours, we’ve got (kind of) the whole MASS crew!
Lauren Colenso-Sample steers the ship and is joined by Dr. Mike Zourdos and Dr. Eric Helms. Dr. Trexler was planning to join but lost his voice due to illness. It’s the first episode without Dr. Trexler on the call, and many are calling it the best episode ever.
In this episode, the MASS crew discusses recovery modalities, NSAIDs, combining cardio and lifting for health/longevity, blood flow restriction training, rest times, intensification techniques, slow eccentrics (negatives), and much more.
The MASS crew goes live for Office Hours every Wednesday night at 7pm eastern time. Be sure to join us for a future episode!
Our next episode will begin at 7pm on December 6. If you'd like to submit a question ahead of time, please use this link:
