    Lifting for Strength vs. Hypertrophy - What Should You Do? | Dr. Eric Helms.

    Lifting for Strength vs. Hypertrophy - What Should You Do? | Dr. Eric Helms.

    Ever wondered why bodybuilders train differently than powerlifters?

    Wouldn't training that gets you super strong, also make you super jacked?

    Or are they seperate goals entirely?

    Back as our first three-peat guest, Dr. Eric Helms breaks down the difference between training for strength and training for muscle growth.

    If you have seen any of Eric's work, you will know he know's his shit. And especially so when it comes to the literature on strength and hypertrophy.

    As a current powerlifter competitor and world class natural bodybuilder, Eric also has as stack of years in the trenches to back up what he says.

    You can also catch Eric in Ep. 13 on protein for Vegans and Ep. 30 on concurrent training.

    What's missing in physiotherapy education.Why your core is not the problem.How to address hamstring "tightness".An updated perspective on posture.Why your technique is probably OK.The role of genetics in sport.How to pick a physio.

    The Future of Protein with Dr. Rosie Bosworth

    The Future of Protein with Dr. Rosie Bosworth

    On today’s show, we’re answering the question… what does the future of our protein look like?
    I am sure you are well aware of the current state of our climate and the huge obstacles we face as a species if we want to continue to call this place home.
    Where we source our protein is an incredibly important component of this issue, and in recent years there have been some super exciting new technologies that have the potential to disrupt our food systems for the better.
    Some you may have heard of such as lab or cultivated meat. Others may be new to you such as precision fermentation. 
    In this episdoe Dr. Rosie covers:
    Why a shift in protein is necessary.How much individual purchasing power effects what's on our shelves.Cultivated meat, precision fermentation and molecular farming.Effects on economies reliant on agriculture, such as New Zealand.Achieving price parity and making animal farming irrelevant. If you are new to the show, please consider subscribing and checking out our previous episodes on everything from creatine to body positivity.

    Also, if you enjoy this content at all, it would mean the world if you could take just a couple of minutes to throw up a quick review for the podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

    The Problem with Fitness Influencers... and what to do about it with Harry Moore.

    The Problem with Fitness Influencers... and what to do about it with Harry Moore.

    Social media is a tricky space to navigate, especially in the fitness industry.

    For the budding fitness enthusiast or novice trainee, looking for content on social platforms around what to do in the gym and how to eat for results, will more often than not lead them to a plethora of influencers with large followings.

    However this doesn't always mean their content will be helpful, or even effective.

    And often, it can even be harmful, specifically to their mental health.

    In todays episode I am chatting with Harry Moore, from the YouTube channel - Team ForNever Lean.

    Harry (or Harold as he's known), does a great job of addressing some of the key concerns around what's being posted online and helps viewers to better discern what's good information and what's mere marketing.

    I loved this discussion, and I am looking forward to having another yarn with Harold in the future.

    If you are new to the show, please consider subscribing and checking out our previous episodes on everything from creatine to body positivity.

    Also, if you enjoy this content at all, it would mean the world if you could take just a couple of minutes to throw up a quick review for the podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
