Nick Ronick of BFR FAME joints us for this one where we cover how BFR works, what it's best used for, what its limitations are, and why you need heavy loads for joints.

Cooking our detractors

Mar 15 2025 109 mins  
Chris and I discuss the difference in "science" and "evidence based" and why they aren't the same. And why "evidence based" is a lower standard to use than true science. We also spend plenty of time cooking our "detractors".

Why sleep loss isn't killing gains - Why high reps (probably) DON'T build the same amount of muscle

Mar 01 2025 168 mins  
This is a great one overall where we cover sleep, high vs low reps and why they probably aren't equal and TONS of other stuff

The bulking debate - with Ella, TNF, and Alan Aragon

Feb 15 2025 199 mins  
Today (sans Chris) we did a roundtable on all of the "bulking talk", went over the mechanistic and longitudinal data, and then the practical application of whether or not a surplus is required to maximize growth.

Why hypertrophy gains HAVE to have strength gains and Q&A #1

Feb 01 2025 153 mins  
Chris and I refute the crappy article written by a dufus that says that hypertrophy gains don't always have strength gains to go with them AND some Q&A answered.....

Why you still don't understand mechanical tension

Why mechanisms > outcome data

Dec 07 2024 133 mins  
Chris and I explain what the long term mechanistic data will always outweigh that of outcome data, and all the ridiculous examples of where outcome data has led people astray

why mTOR is blah and why you don't need to bulk for gains

Max Strength vs Max Hypertrophy

Nov 09 2024 120 mins  
Chris and I talk about the adaptations needed for strength development versus that of muscle growth
