  • Workout just once a week?

    28/09/2022 Duración: 53min

    There’s no dispute that working out once a week is better than not working out at all. But why does the media promote studies claiming that one workout a week is as effective multiple workouts a week? And how come these stories repeat in cycles year after year? Probably because some people want to believe them. We talk about not the substance of any of these studies, but what would the impact be if they were true. Also we talk about an approach to breath training that was once discounted, but is making sort of a comeback. Avi Lieu, a USAPL pro powerlifter, joins us again.

  • How do you know what you don’t know (but think you know)?

    21/09/2022 Duración: 53min

    For better or for worse, our brains let us believe a lot of things that aren’t true. One good example is the Mandela Effect – misremembering the facts around something in popular culture. We kick things off with a little quiz to see how affected we are by this phenomenon. We then shift into a discussion of another type of mental mistake. We’ve talked a bit on previous episodes about the Dunning-Kruger -Effect but never really tied it to issues in the fitness world. How many trainers argue for a specific method, exercise, diet, etc. – sure they’ve got it right – but in reality, they don’t know how little they really know.

  • The girlfriend who didn’t exist: Manti Te’o documentary review.

    31/08/2022 Duración: 01h14min

    This week we’re taking a look at one of the latest entries in the Netflix “Untold” documentary series. On September 11, 2012, Notre Dame football sensation Manti Te’o told various news outlets that his grandmother and his girlfriend had died on the same day. Some of that statement proved not to be true at all. His “girlfriend” was a person he’d never met and wasn’t at all dead. How did Te’o end up in this position? Was he naïve or calculating? Why did the media treat him more like a perpetrator than a victim? We kick it off with some reflections on changes made to this year’s CrossFit Games format. Dean Saddoris of Caffeine & Kilos is back for this discussion.
