In this episode we had the honor of chatting with 8x USAPL/IPF Champion @ 90kg/105kg/120kg, 5x 🇺🇸 IPF Master’s World Team Member: Ryan Stills. Did you know that Ryan Stills used to play semi-pro football and won multiple championships while taking a break from a (at the time) 14 year powerlifting career? Yeah, neither did we.  The fact is Ryan Stills is a The Perennial Savage because each year of his life he continues to one-up himself! Truly his experiences are fantastic to learn about and we had a fantastic time speaking with him and RTS Coach Mark Robb.

In this episode, Mike Tuchscherer and Ben Esgro dive deep into programming, coaching philosophy, building businesses, and Ben's recent decision to go ALL-IN on De Novo Nutrition. When in doubt, blame it on Ben.

This episode features Dr. Mike Isreatel of Renaissance Periodization and John Kiely a senior lecturer at the University of Lancashire discuss Periodization "theory" and how useful it is for coaches in the modern era. Of course your host Mike Tuchscherer shares his insights and personal anecdotes for a bottom-up style training that we've dubbed "Emerging Strategies".  Please share this with your fellow lifting enthusiasts if you found it valuable!

We hope you enjoy this one. 

In this episode, RTS Founder Mike Tuchscherer chats with Stronger By Science (The Online Home for Thinking Lifters) owner Greg Nuckols. Greg has immense experience in the Exercise Science world, and recently completed his thesis on The Effects of Biological Sex on Fatigue and Recovery From Resistance Exercise. Not only that, but Greg is freakishly strong. | So we wanted to learn more about Greg and how he approaches life with the accumulation of knowledge, scientific practice, and experience. Fun fact, it's pretty awesome. Enjoy!

In this podcast, we had the pleasure of speaking with USAPL Lifter, former 93kg National Champion and world level competitor David Woolson.
