Most people think there's a "best" way to test VO2 max—but that question is completely wrong.

In this episode of Metabolic Mastery, Dr. Marc Humbert and Dr. Cameron Garber break down the real answer behind bike vs treadmill testing, why results can vary drastically, and how poor testing choices can completely mislead your training.

From athletes to everyday clients, choosing the wrong testing modality can lead to inaccurate heart rate zones, flawed exercise prescriptions, and wasted training effort.

This episode gives you a clear framework to ensure your testing actually matches your goals—so you stop guessing and start optimizing.
