Mandatory Exercise: Would Pullups For Everyone Be For The Greater Good?
About this episode
Today is a mix of physical training and philosophical pondering, as all good podcasts should be!
In Episode #319 of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: how my brother is eating 5 servings of fruits and veg to glow up, whether there is any merit in forcing people to do things for 'the greater good', Juan's realisation that he is no longer good at pullups, why we differ on the topic of 'specialisation' in training regimes, why it would be fun to see my dad in a modern environment and the WOW meetup that's sparked Juan to find better ways of communicating in his MMW3.
As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
