I truly love these podcasts, your app, and am now following on instagram. I am an older lady training for being elderly. Thanks for all that you do from Ohio, USA
Highly articulate and informative podcast about strength training with a sense of humor between the hosts. A lot of factchecking and relatively easy explanations about knowhow and how to go about study’s regarding training.
Highly recommended 👌
Basics and a bit… yeah.

I am a medical and nursing professional, and Dan and Philip are some of my main go-to guys for knowledgeable, research based information regarding strength training. I appreciate their analyses of research articles, something you don’t see very often done rigorously. These gentlemen know their stuff and I appreciate their sharing it with us.
