This week's episode covers two larger questions. First, how do we recommend programming cardio around hypertrophy work for serious lifters like physique athletes? Then our individual approaches to rest days. Are we fans of active vs. passive rest days, how do we change our nutrition, any additional activities to facilitate recovery, etc.
