    Working Out To Manage Weight For Performance Goals | Episode 267

    We've all heard stories of athletes that gain or lose weight to aid in their performance, but how do they do it? Inspired by Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow telling Men's Health he gained 10 lbs this off-season, we discuss how he would have gone about that and how other athletes lose weight during the off-season for their needs.

    As discussed in the show, the actual execution of these workouts are very specifically tailored to very high level athletes in conjunction with high level nutrition and recovery plans. Please consult the proper professionals before embarking on any kind of body change for performance.
