You know, obviously, we've talked not only on live callers. We all have experience with helping people with this. This has been confirmed by my experience many, many times over. But I'm actually not familiar with the research around it. Do we have studies to show that the person who's trying to gain muscle – from a certain body fat percentage versus another? Is there research to support what we're talking about?
Not specifically, but what they do find is that athletes or high performers in strength tend to carry more body fat than what social media will have you believe is a good body fat percentage. So like athletes who do really well and perform well, right? If you're an athlete, you're not on stage posing. You actually have to perform well.
