Episode 5- Fitness Myths Part 1- Lactic Acid, Multi Vitamins, Women's Protein, IIFYM, and more

The Fitness Experiment

We discuss hot topics in the fitness industry that are misleading and sometimes potentially dangerous. We cover the problems with popular journals and social media, creatine being considered as steroids, why multi-vitamins are often a waste of money, and whether weightlifting is bad for kids. We also dig into "female protein powder", and some of the BS/false/appalling claims in the media about "women being bulky", "can't do pullups", and some other trash that people call news. Wait there's more! Why being bulky does not mean you fatigue faster, the truth about lactic acid and lactate in the brain, the problems with ads like "eat these 3 foods to rev up your metabolism in just 3 days", the popular If It Fits Your Macros (IIFYM) diets and so much more!
