In episode 56 of 'Lifting, Running, and Living,' the hosts dive into two hot fitness topics: the creatine gummy scandal and a controversial moment at a Hyrox competition. 

The episode kicks off with personal updates, highlighting a grueling hill climb race in Vail, Colorado, and detailing a new training regimen focused on balancing lifting and cardio. 

The discussion then shifts to the creatine gummy scandal involving Push Supplements, where third-party testing revealed significantly lower creatine content than advertised. 

Lastly, the hosts analyze a viral video from a Hyrox competition where a competitor continued the event despite his partner collapsing, prompting a debate on the balance between mental toughness and human empathy.
