313. The Passive Biohack for People Who Sit All Day - Brent Yates

Many weighted vests hang the load on your shoulders and leave your back to take the hit. Gary Brecka sits down with Brent Yates, author of The Gravity of Up, to break down how weight, compression and heat work together, why your tendons, ligaments and fascia need time to adapt, and where to start (3 to 5% of body weight). Plus the progressive load problem Brent is working on for military recruits. Don't guess, test.
