  • World renowned researchers giving practical advice for the average person

    Can’t recommend these two highly enough! They each have produced decades of high quality exercise research, and spoken on numerous podcasts and other events. They provide realistic advice targeted to the average person, not just experienced exercisers.

    As a sport medicine physician, I recommend their podcasts to my patients who want to improve their fitness, and it’s great to now be able to hear their voices together!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mythbusting the Most-Hyped Peptides
Q: What are the three general categories Leigh mentions for peptides?
There are peptides that are approved drugs (like GLP-1 agonists), there are copies of GLP-1 agonists produced through compounding pharmacies, and then there are wellness peptides marketed as research-use-only with little human data.
Mythbusting the Most-Hyped Peptides
Q: What are we talking about when we say peptides?
A peptide is a small piece of a protein, just a chain of amino acids, and the term has been co-opted to describe various products in fitness and wellness; many marketed peptides lack robust human data and are not GLP-1 agonists.
Brad Schoenfeld's Top 5 Strength Myths BUSTED!
Q: Do short rest periods boost hypertrophy through hormonal responses?
The hormonal surge from short rests appears not to meaningfully drive muscle growth; the team finds little evidence that short rests outperform longer rests for hypertrophy and notes fatigue and load maintenance as more important.
Brad Schoenfeld's Top 5 Strength Myths BUSTED!
Q: How close to failure do you need to train to maximize gains?
Training within about one to three reps from failure can yield near-maximal gains, and strictly pushing every set to failure is not necessary and can hinder gains due to excessive fatigue.
Brad Schoenfeld's Top 5 Strength Myths BUSTED!
Q: What is the first myth they tackle about training loads?
The belief that light loads cannot produce meaningful muscle growth; Brad explains that hypertrophy can occur with lighter loads when sets are performed close to failure.
