From the IronRadio.org Facebook Listener's Page comes a request for simple

training talk. What are the guys up to in the gym? Coming at the topic from

different points in the training cycle, Phil, Lonnie and Fortress share thoughts.

What is Phil doing in the critical two weeks before a meet? How is Dr. Lowery

dealing with the relative boredom of a conditioning phase? And what is Fortress,

ever the training connoisseur, doing systematically in the gym? Topics range from

last-minute stupid mistakes that all musclesport athletes make, to early morning

lifts, to the notion of long-term brewing momentum. Also addressed are issues like

redlining, misguided encouragement from muscle magazines, and even a dietary

supplement warning. And don't forget the random pizza orders! Pull up a bench and

get in on the gym talk!

It's Fortress unleashed! This week IronRadio brings listeners over an hour

of pure, unadulterated shop talk, largely thanks to Mr. Fortney. After some science

news on the importance of brown adipose tissue for fat loss, the guys talk

bodybuilding. Is the Mr. O in an identity crisis? Why? How do professional women's

divisions decide what the heck they are looking for? And for that matter, is the

newish men's physique category in a similar quandry? Then topics range from

misguided multi-gram androgen use, to judging criteria, to the dirt that sometimes

goes on behind the scenes. Physique enthusiasts rejoice! It's time again for Iron

Radio.

Caution, potty mouth powerlifters at work. Phil and Lonnie talk to strength

icon Dave Tate. From what's new with his business to his personal struggles with

injuries and rehab, Dave pulls no punches. There are real lessons to be learned from

these stories. Then, after the break, the guys all discuss the question, What's

Realistic? The talk ranges all over. From supposedly healthy French fries, to

various lifting regimes, to when it's time to change career goals, the discussion

waxes philosophical. Come on in for your weekly dose of brains and brawn, with Dave

Tate!

In this special presentation of geekery, Dr. L has an on-site chat with Dr.

Josh Cotter and Doc Candidate Mike Nelson. Get in on this preview of what's coming

down the pipeline in nutrition, including insights from a bodybuilding and strength

perspective. The International Congress on Nutrition is the world class Olympic

Games of nutrition science, held but once every four years. Topics that get

attention include how to best squash inflammation before it gets a hold on you, the

chronobiology of eating and strength, genetically personalized nutrition, what

happens to the body fat of men vs. women as they diet, gene doping, Spanish foods,

and more. ...PS - All the audio backgrounds herein are real, on-sight sounds from

the Congressos and surrounding local flavor. Bienvenidos!

The Intrepid Triune is flung to the far reaches of the globe this week but

the show must go on! Fortunately, execpt for a handful of regulars on the Iron Radio

Facebook page, few have heard of an episode that was created, almost by accident,

early this summer. When things looked darkest and the guys were sure the airwaves

would go silent, Rob showed up and helped record what you are about to hear. Almost

no one heard it, however, because somehow a second, full-lineup show got recorded

that same week! But waste not, want not. Join Fortress and Lonnie in discussing a

question that's close to all lifters' hearts - How much is too much? Enjoy!

Caution, potty mouth powerlifters at work. Phil and Lonnie talk shop with

Jim Wendler. From low-protein Chinese diets, to the rise of raw powerlifting and

females in the sport, to testosterone replacement for younger guys, Jim lays down

some blunt opinions. The conversation also ranges through the necessity of doping,

middle-aged lifting, training economy, recovery, and tons more. Even Miley Cyrus and

Syria get attention! Come on in and have a chat with Jim Wendler!

Phil, Fortress and Lonnie have a fun conversation with Highland Games

champion Matt Vincent. Early in the episode, the guys debate and laugh about all

kinds of news, then they talk about dealing with travel. As a world class competitor

who also has to travel for his job, Matt has learned some great tips and keeps a

positive outlook on this sometimes weary endeavor. From holding a real job, to

learning from distant top gyms, to reveling in the loophole sports we all enjoy,

there is good stuff in this show. Sprinkle-in some science on ergogenic mouth rinses

and how broccoli may save your joints, and you've got the latest installation of

Iron Radio!

Phil and Lonnie offer news on the dangers of tanning spray, how the nervous

system adapts at the highest level to training, and the apparent prevalence of

Bigorexia. A new 1210 lb squat record - that's not a typo - also gets scrutiny.

Facts and opinions fly. Then, in the Topic of the Day, the guys discuss five things

they couldn't live without if transported to a desert island. Bodybuilding stuff,

powerlifting equipment, motivational resources and more get brought along. What

would YOUR list include? Join in, island girls, for the usual science, sport, and

banter!

Fortress and Lonnie field thematic listener questions and learn from Dr.

Jeff Stout. What do survival shows teach us about the importance of dietary protein?

How long does a pre-mixed protein drink last in the fridge? Why do some clinicians

differ from scientists when it comes to dispensing protein information? Then Dr.

Stout shares research and facts on new lab techniques that assess muscle tissue

growth, muscle memory, and how to prevent muscle loss at all ages. From youth and

aging, to turning genes on and off, to HMB, to milk intake, there's lots to learn.

Tune in and enhance your muscle quality!

The intrepid triune immediately launches into shop talk regarding health

news and current events. There are usable tips to be had! Which longevity therapies

work and which don't for lifters? Are you sabotaging your own sleep and thus

training recovery? What's the public saying about scary meat heads who lift weights

and brandish guns? Get in on the banter. Also, what does surprising new research say

about our beloved red meat? Also,can you really swell your biceps girth nine-fold?

Would you WANT to?! Finally, what do the guys think about the much-promulgated

comeback of Jay Cutler? Time to get an Iron view of recent goings-on.
