  1. The problem is bro-science is pervasive in the exercise industry. Where there is sports science research, it''s usually concerning optimal performance for athletes. That then gets misinterpreted by the bro scientists and ends up in the fitness industry. Guess what? A dude that works in the post office or a lady working as an optometrist doesn't need "optimal physical sports performance". They aren't professional athletes trying to get that extra competitive advantage, no matter the cost to their long term health. That's what professional sports people do. Just listen to they way CrossFitters talk about developing "explosive power"...for what? They had to actually invent a games system to justify the exercise program. The athletic power developed in CrossFit serves no purpose other than to make you good at doing Crossfit games. Which isn't going to mean much if you've F***'ed up your body after 20 years of doing it.
