What separates meaningful research from misleading results? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. James Steele to break down the most important—but often overlooked—aspect of exercise science: methodology.

As part of our latest Project Discover study, we go beyond the headlines and dig into how research is actually conducted, why study design matters, and what it takes to produce results you can trust. Because in strength training, it’s not just what a study finds—it’s how it finds it.

If you’ve ever wondered why studies seem to contradict each other, or how to separate high-quality evidence from noise, this episode will change the way you think about fitness research—and how you apply it to your workouts.
