   #41-Gym Hot Takes: Cheat Meals, Rest Days, Sumo vs Conventional Deadlift

   Gym hot takes, no filter. Reggie and Bishop each bring the hills they would die on in fitness and training, and they do not always agree. They debate whether you need more rest or more intensity, why gatekeeping fitness with arbitrary strength standards misses the point, whether cheat meals are worth it, sumo vs. conventional deadlift, and why the scale matters if you are overweight. They also get into partial reps vs. full range of motion, yelling coaches vs. calm coaching, and why saying "I earned it" too soon can hold you back. If you like honest fitness conversation, strong opinions, and a little friendly arguing, this one is for you.
