  • Load of rubbish. I barely trust they know what they are talking about when it come to health and fitness. Yet they ramble on about politics and other life issues they know nothing about. Stick to your lane.

    I do not recommend

  • Good show, but I skip all live Q&As. Don't want to sit through people reading their own droning emails. Ads are out of control. They inbed within show with no disclaimer. Feels sleazy. P.S. Anabolic and 15 programs are FULL of typos and mismatched demos. Stop churning out new stuff before you fix the old stuff.

  • Entertainment with fitness, nutrition and interesting guests

    Older episodes are the best. Like the fitness direction, always trying to keep up with what works best for the "average" person interested in health and fitness.

    The 30-60 minute format with the twisted humor and the slightly opinionated fitness approach. They are definately heading in the right direction.

    Look forward to the evolution.

    FYI: I’ve been doing squats and deadlift 40 years, so stop saying “no one did squats and deadlifts in the 90’s”. If you chose not to teach them, it was on you.... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

2836: 1 Hour of Strength Training Per Week Adds 13 YEARS to Your Life
Q: What is the optimal weekly strength-training dose for longevity?
The hosts suggest that even minimal weekly strength training—about one day a week with focused lifting—can yield substantial longevity benefits, and that adding more days yields diminishing but still meaningful returns while emphasizing that the overall pattern matters more than aggressive gym time.
2818: Beyond the Scale: Rethinking Metrics for Fitness Success
Q: How should someone handle drop sets in a regular program?
Drop sets are a novelty and not essential for most people; they can be used occasionally to add variety, but they shouldn't be relied on as the main driver of results.
2818: Beyond the Scale: Rethinking Metrics for Fitness Success
Q: What is a good approach for blue-collar workers to train and eat given their demanding schedules?
Focus on moderate-intensity, lower-volume strength work balanced with endurance training, ensure simple, whole-food meals, and emphasize prep and accessibility to maintain consistency without overcomplicating the plan.
2808: Build a Butt or Get Abs? Where Do I Start?
Q: Is it possible to build muscle and lose fat at the same time?
Yes, but it depends on the program and phase; they describe periods of slight deficit during a controlled bulk where muscle gain and fat loss can occur together, but emphasize following a planned program rather than arbitrary dieting.
2808: Build a Butt or Get Abs? Where Do I Start?
Q: Does it matter which to start first, building the butt or losing weight?
The hosts argue that building the butt first is generally the best starting point; it supports future fat loss, helps with metabolic rate, and improves overall structural balance, making the next phase of getting leaner easier.
