Muscle and Feels

A new meta-analysis on training to failure has taken the fitness scene by storm with people literally harassing us on the street about its findings and our take. Sit back, relax and enjoy the HOTTEST* take of them all on the recent Robinson et al meta.


*not a hot take at all, but we gotta get more people to listen to this so we can eventually monetize it and buy more watches

The team that exposed the moon landing as fake and proved to the world that the earth is flat, is back with another episode, this time talking about things we find overrated for muscle and strength gains.

Spoiler alert: it’s not BCAA’s.

Saying “you’re overcomplicating this” may be more of a cope than some think, especially in certain contexts. Communicating science in an easy-to-follow simple way is important, but the science, ie: the more complicated stuff, is also important. In this episode we discuss why “simple and easy to follow” is not always the way to go about training and nutrition, especially if you’re a hardcore iron enthusiast.

The classic "BARBELLS ARE THE BEST AND A MUST FOR STRENGTH AND MUSCLE GAINS" is a myth. Tune in to find out why.

One would expect that there are myriads of studies on deloads, especially given their widespread use. 

However, there is currently a whopping ONE study on the topic, a study that we both had the honour of being a part of. 

We break down its findings, give our “opinions” on practical recommendations and of course make at least 32 inside jokes as everyone loves those. Additionally, we briefly cover upcoming deload studies in the works and shoutout various rockstar researchers that are about to make noise in the evidence based lifting scene.

Just when you thought we couldn’t make another episode on long muscle lengths, we’ve done it again. Since our last episode on the infamous partials-at-long-muscle-lengths, more research has emerged, which we discuss on this episode. The ROM fight is real, and we’re here to act as your bookies, giving you our predictions and guaranteeing that you’ll at least make a bit of profit when betting on which ROM will emerge victorious in this exciting battle.

A mini-episode response to the infamous Milo vs _ _ _ _  _ _ _ _ _ _ battle.

Yeah you read right.

They've been lying to US this whole time. Turns out being shredded IS NOT the key to health and longevity. It also turns out that bodyfat % may not be the best metric to track long term if looks and/or health are your main focus.

What's next???? The earth is round?

Tune in to find out!

They thought we were finished but we are ACTUALLY BACK THIS TIME. Despite "being back" on every episode, this time we're actually back from some time off and ready to rock n' roll with our usual weekly episode extravaganza*.

In this episode, hear the good Doctors** talk about training/dieting while travelling & the new study we're currently planning!
