🎙️ Episode 49 of Between Two Dumbbells is here, and we’re shaking things up with the game “Smash, Marry, Pass” (i.e Marry, F***, K***)—but instead of people, we’re rating our favorite training exercises for each muscle group such as picking between a hack squat, pendulum squat, or leg press! 💪
Join us as we debate the best ways to build muscle efficiently, share insights for creating solid workout plans, and reveal the exercises we can’t live without—and the ones we’d happily skip (i.e. pass).
