On this episode of Mark Bell’s Power Project Podcast, hosts Mark Bell and Nsima Inyang talk with author Michael Gross about the forgotten history of strength. They reveal why much of modern medicine has been wrong about muscle and how the right kind of lifting can fix today's biggest health problems.
