In this episode the guys break down 5 signs that fitness fanatics specifically need to eat more and move less — feeling chronically worn out, sacrificing more important things for workouts and diet, staying super lean all the time with no flexibility, not improving any objective performance metric in a long time, and workouts no longer being joyful. They also get into Adam's new solo cooking ritual using Our Place pans and why it turned from a chore into something he looks forward to, Corinne's update as a top Mind Pump trainer who has finally committed to adding muscle after years of staying chronically lean, Justin's incredible weekend experience at a multi-day program, Adam getting back together with Katrina after a rough week of stress and house prep, Justin's son Everett watching the Odyssey movie and losing his mind over it, and Sal having another ghost experience at home. Then they coach live callers submitted through mplivecaller.com.
