Exercise is Bullshit! "Throwing Cold Water On Your Gains!" w/ Alec Pinero, MS
Episode... 26! It's as cold... as ICE!
I'm joined today by Alec Pinero, another great student out of Lehman College in the Bronx, under the tutelage of the great Dr. Brad Schoenfeld. Alec is a genius and sure to do great things in the industry. The Harvard alum is currently pursuing his PhD, but today's conversation centered around a paper he was part of for his Master's Program.
Ice baths and cold plunges have become a mainstay in the biohacking and health and fitness space, but Alec and his team published one of the first large meta-analysis a couple years back to challenge this fitness trend and see if this cold water might actually be doing more harm then good.
If you've been wondering whether to add a cold plunge to your routine, make sure you check out this episode first. You could be "Throwing Cold Water On Your Gains!".
