  • Great content; incessant ads

    The interviews are usually fantastic. Really great content. But of all the podcasts I listen to, this one has foreign away the most intrusive and frequent advertisements. Sometimes it feels like there is one every three minutes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#480 Amy Morin - The Mental Strength Playbook
Q: If you had to tell someone to work on just one of the 13 things mentally strong people don't do, where would you have people start?
Focus on not giving away your power; it's about taking control of how you think, feel, and act and recognizing that others don't determine your inner state.
#478 Steve Kamb - How To Try Again
Q: Thoughts on starting versus getting back up when life interferes?
Starting can be hard due to fear of imperfection; getting back up requires accepting reality, adjusting expectations, and focusing on sustainable, small steps rather than perfection.
#477 Stuart Locke - Being Hard to Kill, Being Easy to Coach
Q: How should a non-competitive lifter approach muscle gain without piling on fat?
Aim for maintenance with a modest surplus, emphasize adequate protein (about 1.2 grams per pound of body weight), include sufficient fruits and vegetables, and gradually increase training load to drive progress while minimizing fat gain.
#477 Stuart Locke - Being Hard to Kill, Being Easy to Coach
Q: What were the dumbest things you did to gain weight, and what were the outcomes?
Locke details attempts like dairy-heavy bulks using gallons of milk and pizza, which caused digestive distress and little to no muscle gain, followed by a successful but unhealthy bulk using a high-carb approach and PEDs that yielded rapid weight gain with serious health risks.
#473 Dr Dwayne Jackson - Reclassifying PCOS to PMOS, What This Means
Q: How does lifestyle influence its presentation and what can be done practically?
Lifestyle changes are foundational; weight loss of 5-10% can markedly improve insulin sensitivity and ovulation, with exercise and resistance training playing a key role in glucose disposal, while diet patterns like the Mediterranean diet help stabilize blood sugar and inflammation, complemented by targeted supplements like myo-inositol and D-chiroinositol in precise ratios.
