Last year Eric Lee Salazar enlisted the help of (honorary Dr.) James Krieger in pursuit of his eventual IFBB pro card. Eric had an idea, "what if I wear a weighted vest all day long? Think it will make prep easier?"

 

In this episode we talk with James about the limited research and the potential mechanisms to the results that followed. This is a topic that is so fascinating and the potential downstream effects are really mind blowing. What really determines our weight? The answer might lie in our bones.
