Gmb Fitness Show - Physical Autonomy

It's natural to see an interesting physical movement and want to know where it came from and who thought it up, but usually, the true origins are thousands of years ago. GMB was founded by three dudes with diverse backgrounds, so it's natural that we draw inspiration from a lot of sources. In this episode, Ryan, Jarlo, and Andy discuss the real influences that make GMB what it is.Support the show (https://gmb.io/podcast/)

So many systems out there claim to have discovered the one, true path to physical mastery, but it simply isn't true. We all have different bodies, different goals, and different backgrounds.

Imbalances can be problematic. That's true. But they're also a fact of nature. You have to live with and negotiate imbalances daily.

And if it doesn't, we're betting it still won't kill you.Support the show (https://gmb.io/podcast/)
