(Experimenting with AI-generated show notes on this one. No idea if it will make any difference in discoverability.)

Jonathan is the only guest who has both been on this show and appeared in the MCU (Jessica Jones). Also, he's the only guest whose whole ass I've actually seen (HBO's High Maintenance, Season 2, Episode 1). He's super cool, and I could have kept talking to him a long time, but I'd already made him run late. You can catch Jonathan and his best friend, Tom on the No Homo Podcast -- Two best friends (one straight and one gay) riff on their daily lives, the insanity of current events, and what it means to be a man – gassing each other up while the world burns. (Jonathan is the straight one.) https://www.youtube.com/@NoHomoPodcastwJonathanandTom

What it wasn’t, however, was a show about healthy lifestyles and healthy weight loss.  

Netflix’s Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser examines what it was like for some contestants on the show and some members of the production. The push to keep the show in the spotlight wreaked havoc on lives, relationships, and, in some cases, health. Does the documentary series exploit the contestants in a similar way to the show did?

A listener asked, “If you could start a business with zero risk, what would it be?” We had to make a call about whether this meant that you’d automatically succeed (boring) or it was with someone else’s money, and there would be no financial impact to you if it failed (kind of exciting – who doesn’t love OPM?).   Personal service robots?

Do we really get to see Arnold’s dong? Huge Arnold fan Dean Saddoris  @deansaddoris.ck joins us for Mike’s first viewing of this classic.

In lighter discussion, we list the “16 seasons of Sacramento” (crazy for a place people think only has two). We also take a look at USAPL Nationals. Will the federation survive its rivalry with Powerlifting America? What could be done to make big national meets more fun for the crowd? Could the answer be side quests?  

Mike related how gaming in a lull at the moment, and Jim shared a recent brush with AI for a writing process.

We discuss the value of maintaining your individuality rather than adopting the persona of any group. Unless you can be Batman, maybe just be yourself and think for yourself.  

We also touch on accounts of a serial abuser with many connections to the fitness industry.

We talk about the importance of South Sudan’s near victory over the US in a warmup Olympic basketball and admire the commitment of Luol Deng (and our friend, Jacob Ross) to the effort to improve conditions in the country.   

We discuss the value of maintaining your individuality rather than adopting the persona of any group. Unless you can be Batman, maybe just be yourself and think for yourself.  

We also touch on accounts of a serial abuser with many connections to the fitness industry.

Some questions have arisen about side effects – some merely annoying and some potentially dangerous. One complaint is the loss of lean muscle mass. While this is obviously not ideal, is there something specific about these drugs that contributes to muscle loss, or is it nothing more than a normal effect of weight loss by any method? How can it be prevented?  

Listener resources: Survey of studies on weight loss and muscle loss vs fat loss.

“The IPF and CBS Sports (broadcaster of the Super Bowl 2024) have signed a multi-year agreement to bring IPF powerlifting to the TV in the USA and the whole of North America.” (Full release here: https://www.powerlifting.sport/about-ipf/news/news-detail/ipf-secures-tv-broadcast-partnership-for-north-america).

For tested lifters in the US, does this change the calculus of choosing the IPF-affiliated Powerlifting America versus the larger and more familiar USAPL? And will anyone outside of powerlifting fandom be interested in watching a full meet -- or even a collection of highlights – on broadcast TV? We’ll find out later this year with coverage of a bench-only competition in Austin, Texas.

As a warmup, we discussed entry-level doughnuts and fast-food restaurants.

“The IPF and CBS Sports (broadcaster of the Super Bowl 2024) have signed a multi-year agreement to bring IPF powerlifting to the TV in the USA and the whole of North America.” (Full release here: https://www.powerlifting.sport/about-ipf/news/news-detail/ipf-secures-tv-broadcast-partnership-for-north-america).

For tested lifters in the US, does this change the calculus of choosing the IPF-affiliated Powerlifting America versus the larger and more familiar USAPL? And will anyone outside of powerlifting fandom be interested in watching a full meet -- or even a collection of highlights – on broadcast TV? We’ll find out later this year with coverage of a bench-only competition in Austin, Texas.

As a warmup, we discussed entry-level doughnuts and fast-food restaurants.

The USAPL national meets have grown to epic proportions in the past several years. For 2024, the meet is already full, even though many lifters will have to make qualifying totals sometime before nationals. Is this the best way to ensure that the best lifters will actually be in the meet?

We also hit on a number of other topics, including how it feels to have left a bad situation. Our own Avi Lieu (@avi.lieu), Kyle Castro (@kyle.castroo) Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila), and Matt Ogihara (@matt_ogi) joined us for this one.

The Netflix series, You Are What You Eat, is a follow-up to the series “Game Changers” from the same production company with the same vegan slant. This time, a study of twins and how their bodies react to omnivore and vegan diets is the throughline. Does it offer legitimate proof that the vegan diet is superior? Or is the whole series just a vehicle for vegan recruitment? Why is porn part of the study?

What role have we given nutrition in our powerlifting careers? When did lifters switch from trying to be as big as possible and eating a ton to being strong at “normal” body weights? Is it more about performance or feeling good.

We also discuss the fact that strength and effort are both normally distributed -- not just in the general population but also in niche places like top powerlifting gyms.

This discussion started around a hypothetical question about why animals are allowed to compete in some formats (like racing) and not in others (fighting). While some would find the spectacle fascinating, animals can’t really give consent to fight…but they can’t consent to race either. Why is one ok and the other not?

This evolved into a broader discussion about combat sports and whether or not humans fighting is entirely ethical either.

Stop attributing stuff to us that isn’t there. — Stanford neurobiologist Robert Sapolsky

When a Stanford neurobiologist states that free will largely doesn’t exist, and he’s joined in this thought by other neurobiologists as well as a bunch of mathematicians, we have to take a moment to think about the whole idea. But was that really a choice? A decision? Or have our particular backgrounds destined us to take that pause?

In the world of fitness, are any of the choices we make about training, diet, etc., actually based on evaluating all the available options or are they just what we were always going to do?

This is maybe the trippy-est and potentially divisive episode of the show ever – though we as host are pretty much in agreement. Many of you may not feel the same way.

Stop attributing stuff to us that isn’t there. — Stanford neurobiologist Robert Sapolsky When a Stanford neurobiologist states that free will largely doesn’t exist, and he’s joined in this thought by other neurobiologists...We’ve got no free will. Stop attributing stuff to us that isn’t there. — Stanford neurobiologist Robert Sapolsky

When a Stanford neurobiologist states that free will largely doesn’t exist, and he’s joined in this thought by other neurobiologists as well as a bunch of mathematicians, we have to take a moment to think about the whole idea. But was that really a choice? A decision? Or have our particular backgrounds destined us to take that pause?

In the world of fitness, are any of the choices we make about training, diet, etc., actually based on evaluating all the available options or are they just what we were always going to do?

This is maybe the trippy-est and potentially divisive episode of the show ever – though we as host are pretty much in agreement. Many of you may not feel the same way.

Listener resources: National Institutes of Health paper on Free Will LA Times article on the Stanford neurobiologist who says free will doesn't exist

How does a man with no experience starting a school or coaching football end up launching one of the most disturbing cons in the history of high school sports? This HBO documentary attempts to answer these questions. And while it’s not perfect, it’s an astonishing look at the forces that make high school football seem like a way out for underprivileged kids and their families and how a con artist used their dreams and vulnerabilities to recruit for a fake school -- Bishop Sycamore High.

The Netflix Untold documentary series looks back at a time when we all wanted to believe that athletes were suddenly capable of record-breaking achievements simply by perfecting their diets, training, and supplementation. Sometimes called the “steroid era” it could easily be called the “Say it ain’t so” era.

Did it all start innocently? Were coaches mostly acting as drug dealers? Did the athletes understand that they were cheating and decide they didn’t care?

Listen for our stories of crossing paths with some of the main players in this doc.

Instead of losing his entire childhood to despair, he found ways to foster hope and dream of a better future and a happier, more secure version of himself. He found that fitness played an important role in helping him maintain his resilience.

Now, he shares his story in the hope of helping others become who they were meant to be and to make it safe for the important conversations that SHOULD be had about improving care for foster youth everywhere.

This is something of a change a pace episode for us, and we’re thankful that Mikey was able to join us. You can find him on IG and Threads at @mikeydoucet and on YouTube.

Also, during the pandemic, many people got comfortable with performing health tests (or just specimen collection) at home. With all the at-home tests (hormones, STIs) available now, it might be easy to assume that all these tests are of equal quality and reliability and that testing at home is simpler than going to a lab. Is this true?

Are big bulks or big cuts worth it? Will you get what you want out of them or do they (almost) always go bad? And if you’re on a bulk, how many glizzies can you eat in 48 hours? We throw out some opinions on this and share some ideas about sticking to extreme diets in general.

Yasssuke Da GOD asks: “I am currently contemplating switching my workout routine since I am trying to cut. And I am realizing I won’t be able to increase my numbers while also trying to increase activities and cardio. So I am considering putting in some bodybuilding splits while still doing some powerlifting and oly movements. Is it me or will this increase my activities to burn more calories than my powerlifting splits? Adding reps of 10-14 vs the old 5 rep max routine? Like I would assume that a heavier lift with lower reps but with higher intensity and effort would exert more energy than a 10 rep sub max lift. But I guess it isn’t, and it isn’t as linear as that. Mad fitness is confusing.”

In this interview, Tao discusses his journey to becoming the CEO of Barbend, his thoughts on the future of fitness media, and how Barbend has expanded coverage since its founding to serve the growing market.

Tao talks about the challenges of starting a business and the importance of perseverance. He gives insight on what it’s like to try to raise capital, and how to weather the process of being acquired.

David also writes about spirits, so we kick things off with a discussion about winning over first-time whiskey drinkers.

BennyG asked:

How hard is it to see the fitness industry now, compared to when you, Bart, Alan and Omar were creating vids and smashing weights? I feel like if I were, you watched the videos I see today of everyone being "built different" and all the various "I'm better than you captions" it would be hard to stay quiet. Meanwhile all of you crush much heavier weights and are super humble about it sharing successes and lessons.

How much fitness content at this point in time is just posturing? When did it lose its authenticity?

We know that heat and cold shock proteins form in the body in reaction to changes in temperature, but what do they do and should we be trying hard to get them?
• How much do you need to change your body temperature to get a reaction?
• What, if anything, are cryo- chambers good for?
• Is it enough to just get hot or do you need to moving (like doing hot yoga)?
• When in a training cycle should you use them?

Dr. Andy Galpin joins us again as expert for this discussion. Andy is a tenured Professor in the Center for Sport Performance at CSU Fullerton, and holds a PhD in Bioenergetics.

Our ideas start at about 13:18.
Andy starts dropping knowledge starting at around 18:00.

Huge thanks to Andy for being our expert once again. You can find him on Instagram: @drandygalpin and his website at andygalpin.com (where there’s tons of free information). You can also find his book with Brian MacKinsey, “Unplugged” on Amazon.com

Here’s the original description of this episode:

Friends, dates, relationships…all pretty essential to most of us, right? But a lot of us suck at finding good places to meet potential partners.We asked Tripp Kramer to help us help you conquer this issue. Tripp is an internationally known dating coach and founder of Tripp Advice, a men's dating advice company. He is also the creator of the popular YouTube channel "Tripp Advice," which teaches men how to become more attractive to women and the host of his own weekly podcast entitled "How To Talk To Girls."Here are some of our thoughts on the question:

• Are some places too tacky and obvious (meat markets)?
• Should bars be off your list?
• Is the gym actually a good place or is everybody too sweaty and gross?
• Are there activities that are more likely to result in good conversation?
• Is it better to go where there the MOST opportunities or the BEST opportunities?

While we focused on the specific question of guys meeting girls, much of the advice also works for getting out of your shell and meeting new people -- period.You can find Tripp on Instagram @@trippadvice____

Here’s the original description of this episode:We’ve heard for years that WHEN you eat can make a huge difference. We’ve also heard that WHEN we eat carbs…or fat…or protein…can be critical to making the biggest gains, or losing the most weight, etc. What’s the actual story?Here are the additional angles we came up with:

• Are there time windows for maximizing gains (or weight loss)?
• Does timing matter more for some people than others?
• Do you need to build your life – and your workouts --- around your meals?
• Can you eat so much protein at one time that your body can’t use it all?
• Will too much protein damage your kidneys?

Dr. Mike Israetel comes in at about 11:21 to set the record straight.

A cofounder of Renaissance Periodization, Dr. Mike Israetel​ holds a PhD in Sport Physiology from East Tennessee State University. Formerly a professor of Exercise and Sport Science in the School of Public Health at Temple University in Philadelphia, Mike has taught several courses, including Nutrition for Public Health, Advanced Sports Nutrition and Exercise, and Nutrition and Behavior.You can find him on IG @rpdrmike and on Twitter: @drmikeisraetel

We kick off the show talking about engaging an audiences, genetics, and stretch goals.

(Plus, you get to hear us to an ad read we didn’t have time to...
Here’s the original description of this episode:We’ve heard for years that WHEN you eat can make a huge difference. We’ve also heard that WHEN we eat carbs…or fat…or protein…can be critical to making the biggest gains, or losing the most weight, etc. What’s the actual story?Here are the additional angles we came up with:

• Are there time windows for maximizing gains (or weight loss)?
• Does timing matter more for some people than others?
• Do you need to build your life – and your workouts --- around your meals?
• Can you eat so much protein at one time that your body can’t use it all?
• Will too much protein damage your kidneys?

Dr. Mike Israetel comes in at about 11:21 to set the record straight.

A cofounder of Renaissance Periodization, Dr. Mike Israetel​ holds a PhD in Sport Physiology from East Tennessee State University. Formerly a professor of Exercise and Sport Science in the School of Public Health at Temple University in Philadelphia, Mike has taught several courses, including Nutrition for Public Health, Advanced Sports Nutrition and Exercise, and Nutrition and Behavior.You can find him on IG @rpdrmike and on Twitter: @drmikeisraetel

We kick off the show talking about engaging an audiences, genetics, and stretch goals.

There was a time when golfers just played golf to prepare to compete at golf. That time has passed. Now, most players are in great shape and are always looking for an edge. That edge is important because it’s difficult to make big money…and keep making it…for most players on the PGA Tour. The LIV Tour, launched by the official wealth fund of Saudi Arabia, has offered a different competitive field and compensation structure for the players who are invited and decide to join. They, however, face questions about whether they will be blackballed from future PGA events, and face moral dilemmas arising from the problematic, and sometimes horrifying, actions of the Saudi Royal Family.

Gifted “bad boy” Nick Kyrgios and his play during the Australian Open is the focus of episode 1. He has no coach, only plays tennis nine or ten weeks a year, and has an explosive on-court personality. We explore whether some athletes are so gifted that coaching and consistent, disciplined practice might make them LESS successful.

We kick off the episode with a conversation about a series of IG posts by @goob_u2 detailing scandals within the USPA and the federation’s unwillingness to deal with them. Dean Saddoris of Caffeine & Kilos is back for this discussion. You can find Dean on IG @deansaddoris.ck and at caffeineandkilos.com

Resolutions sound like goals, but they’re really just things you want to change about yourself. They try to make a positive out of a negative personal trait or habit.

Goals, on the other hand, are things you want to ACCOMPLISH. They’re not really bound to a specific year. They’re on whatever timeline you choose.

But wouldn’t it be even better to decide what you want your legacy to be, and build your goals around that? Goals that support a legacy are more relevant than random ones. When you think about your legacy, what do you want the story of your goals – set, met, or even brilliantly failed – to be?

Resolutions sound like goals, but they’re really just things you want to change about yourself. They try to make a positive out of a negative personal trait or habit.

Goals, on the other hand, are things you want to ACCOMPLISH. They’re not really bound to a specific year. They’re on whatever timeline you choose.

But wouldn’t it be even better to decide what you want your legacy to be, and build your goals around that? Goals that support a legacy are more relevant than random ones. When you think about your legacy, what do you want the story of your goals – set, met, or even brilliantly failed – to be?

Iced-T asks:

“Why is it that I keep seeing people offer coaching but they have a coach themselves? No hate here just a good example, I have noticed Mike keeps referring to a coach since his latest push for a deadlift PR while he also just recently opened up applications for coaching of his own.”

Maybe the better question is, what kind of progress can you make coaching yourself?

We kick it off with a topic from a previous episode. Why would anyone make a young kid do a wall sit so long that he’s in tears? What would that accomplish and why are people defending it on Mike’s TikTok?

Also, Joe was the first one to even alert us about the existence of the Liver King, so we had to get his take on recent developments. He even had some inside scoop to share.

Original show notes:
We spend a few minutes discussing the documentary “Transformer” about Janae Marie Kroczaleski…and our small part in it. We also discuss streaming services and how hard it is to get everything we want to watch in one place these days.
Then, we jump into fat. We know that fat has the most calories per gram of the three macros, and that people on ketogenic diets eat a lot of it. Beyond that, we have a lot more questions:
Why does fat make everything delicious?
Is oil just liquid fat?
Do you burn more fat when you eat more fat?
Are there really good fats and bad fats?
Eric Helms, PhD. helps us figure these things out.
Our ideas about the question start around 12:45.
Eric runs down the facts starting at around 19:13.
Eric has a BS in fitness and wellness, an MS in exercise science, a second masters in sports nutrition, a PhD in strength and conditioning, and is a research fellow for AUT at the Sports Performance Research Institute New Zealand.
Huge thanks to Eric for being our expert. You can find him at 3DMuscleJourney.com, muscleandstrengthpyramids.com, and on Instagram: @helms3dmj

Original show notes:

Our second episode is a look at a second macronutrient: carbohydrates.
After a quick discussion about the fact that we’re probably both HSP (Highly Sensitive People), we talk about some of our goals for the show and ways that you can get involved.
We run down some of our basic “knowledge” about carbs, but were left with a few questions:
Are some sugars better than others?
If all sugars end with “-ose?”
Do you sound like a douche if you use the term CHO?
Then, we bring in Eric Helms, PhD. to help us get our facts straight. Before it’s over, he also warns of the dangers of “PubMed Ninjas.”

Original show notes:

We’re kicking this new show off by asking seemingly basic questions about diet and nutrition. First up, “What is (dietary) protein anyway?"
After a quick catch-up session, we talk through the “facts” of what we think we know about this question – which, of course raises even more questions like...
How much protein do you really need?
What’s a complete protein?
How many essential amino acids are there?
Then, we bring in Eric Helms, PhD. to give us the low down.
Eric has a BS in fitness and wellness, an MS in exercise science, a second masters in sports nutrition, a PhD in strength and conditioning, and is a research fellow for AUT at the Sports Performance Research Institute New Zealand.

Lucas F. asked:

“People often have an affinity for strength training because progress is objectively measurable via the weight on the bar, versus subjectively when it comes to physique progress. But are stark, concrete numbers a double-edged sword? Can plateauing -- and a lack of objective progress -- coupled with a sole focus on numbers -- actually disenfranchise people during their lifting journey? How can one effectively balance the journey vs the destination in terms of goal setting and sustaining long-term interest in strength?

So, are objective goals easier to focus on than subjective ones? Or can they discourage you and actually mess with your head even more?
