Ep. 296 - An Evidence-Based Look at Body Image and Self-Worth 59:49

1M ago59:49

59:49

There is a great deal of fitness content about strategically modifying your diet or changing your physique. Many of these strategies may appear to be simple on paper, but they are inseparable from the complexity of human perception and emotion. Whether we like it or not, diet or physique manipulation inherently interact with concepts relating to on…

2M ago1:25:52

1:25:52

Weightlifting came before powerlifting, but did you know weightlifting wasn’t exactly the first barbell sport? Or rather, did you know that the first iteration of weightlifting was VERY different than what we see today in the Olympics? The history of weightlifting is fascinating, and in this episode of Iron Culture Drs Conor Heffernan and Cliff Har…

Ep. 293 - What Causes Hypertrophy? 50:52

2M ago50:52

50:52

How do we know what we know? And do we know what we think we know? If your answer is “I don’t know,” then this episode is for you. In this classic-style episode, Omar and Helms sit down for a spirited chat on epistemology: the theory of knowledge, as it relates to hypertrophy. In the “evidence-based” world some people always claim to have things fi…

Research moves slow, well, at least slower than we wish it did. But, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t also produce paradigm shifts that shake up practice. In this episode Dr. Helms and Dr. Trexler sit down to answer questions using research, most of which that is actually still in the publication process and not yet available.

Caffeine is incredibly popular among lifters and non-lifters alike. In a variety of cultures all across the globe (including the iron culture), caffeine is a daily staple.

3M ago1:04:47

1:04:47

The classic Iron Culture duo hosts this week’s episode to discuss exercise variety. How have the views on this topic changed over the years and why?

From t…

Ep. 287 - Do Advanced Lifters Need More Volume? 1:16:37

3M ago1:16:37

1:16:37

The Erics are back, and this time, they work through a mental model of how training volume, or rather, the training dose changes over time. With a rank novice, a single set to failure done once per week will typically produce continued adaptation, and they won’t plateau for 1-2 years! However, if you take an advanced strength athlete or bodybuilder…

Ep. 286 - Is Hypertrophy Training a Waste of Time for Powerlifting? 1:09:45

3M ago1:09:45

1:09:45

The trio is back to discuss a classic Iron Culture topic: how much does increasing muscle mass contribute to strength?

What is the source of this skepticism and how do we resolve this debate? Tune i…

Ep. 283 - Jared Maynard: Rebuilding Stronger 1:21:09

4M ago1:21:09

1:21:09

A long lifting career comes with plenty of ups and downs, so we’re accustomed to hearing stories about setbacks, comebacks, and perseverance from our favorite lifters.

Ep. 282 - Pain Don’t Hurt Much 1:43:32

4M ago1:43:32

1:43:32

The most dynamic Iron Culture duo is back in action. In this episode, Omar and Dr. Trexler talk all about pain, injury, and factors that impact the relationship between them. Back in the day, most lifters were all-in on the “Cartesian” or “biomedical” model of pain, which posits that pain is a simple, reliable indicator of damaged tissue causing no…

Ep. 281 - Is Saturated Fat Inherently Fattening? 1:03:23

5M ago1:03:23

1:03:23

The trio is back, and this time to discuss the science of saturated fat. For decades, saturated fat was widely blamed for a dramatic rise in rates of obesity and heart disease. In recent years, that narrative has been challenged by proponents of increasingly popular ketogenic and carnivorous diets. For many, the back and forth on this topic is dizz…

Ep. 280 - What Makes a Good Coach? 1:16:06

5M ago1:16:06

1:16:06

When people think of “good coaching” in the evidence-based community their first thoughts are often related to whether or not the coach is up to date with the science and whether they use pseudoscience in practice. So does that mean that every coach from the 1990s and prior was a bad coach? Is good coaching actually determined by the methods you us…

Ep. 279 - Does Drinking Water Help Weight Loss? 1:08:15

5M ago1:08:15

1:08:15

One of the most common recommendations a personal trainer or dietitian might make to someone embarking on a weight loss journey, is to drink more water. It’s a basic behavioural recommendation, like going on walks, eating more fruit, vegetables and lean protein, adopting a consistent sleep schedule, and engaging in regular exercise; all solid recom…

Ep. 278 - Is Arched Bench Press Cheating? 1:14:13

5M ago1:14:13

1:14:13

Powerlifters use techniques to milk every last kilo out of their bench press, including wide grips, tightly wound wrist wraps, leg drive, and – the most hated technique in the comment section – an arched-back to reduce the range of motion. Indeed, it can get so heated in the comments it likely even influenced an IPF rule change last year. But how m…

Ep. 274 - Do Hardgainers Need More Volume? 1:12:02

6M ago1:12:02

1:12:02

Since the beginning of the iron game, different methods have been promoted as the best approach to train for “hardgainers.” Likewise, in the scientific literature, the variability in individual response is well documented, including the identification of “non-responders” and poor responders to exercise. However, only recently have studies been unde…

We here at Iron Culture have been on a mission to better inform you, dear listener, as to the inner workings of science.

Whitney Houston said it best: “I believe the children are our future, teach them well and let them lead the way.” Here at Iron Culture, we’re old, irrelevant and out of touch.

After their recent reconciliation, the Erics got together for this duo episode to bond over their mutual love of protein.

Ep. 265 - Are Your Supplements Contaminated? 1:33:07

8M ago1:33:07

1:33:07

As you know, Iron Culture reps the neutral to positive gang around these parts. While most new supplements released to the market don’t pan out as effective, some do. So, if preliminary data supports the potential efficacy of a new supplement, why not try it out? The only potential downside of trying a new supplement is wasted money, right? Not so …
