What it concludes

• Breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth during exercise is scientifically unnecessary.
• Posture is primarily genetic and largely unrelated to muscle strength.
• Using a Power Plate for warm-ups is an overpriced and unnecessary tool.
• Mark Wahlberg's workout routines often use overly complex, unstable movements that limit load and hypertrophy.
