Graham and Angus update listeners with their HYROX training and then dig deep into the subject of children/teenagers' weight training.
Does it stunt growth? What is the background to the myths associated with the topic?
They discuss medical and university studies on how weight training can impact the bodies of pre- and post-pubescent adolescents. The link between competitive sports and weight training is focussed on, but also correlations between bullying and fitness. Graham discusses his personal experiences with bullying at school.
