Reverse Dieting, Bodybuilding Mortality, and Optimizing Biomechanics
The Stronger By Science Podcast
Introduction
Welcome back to the stronger by sins podcast. This week we are joined by a very special temporary guest co host, gregg knuckles. We would like to thank everyone who supported the mass black friday saile sale. And of course, you could also down load the macro factor diet apt just in time for your new year's resolutions.
Today’s episode begins with updates from the dueling “Road to the Stage” and “Road to Athens” segments, followed by Feats of Strength. After that, Eric gives some contextualized clarifications about how the concept of “reverse dieting” has, in his opinion, been commonly misapplied. Next, Greg explores mortality rates among untested bodybuilders using a data-driven approach, and Eric provides a quick and practical “Coach’s Corner” segment about proactively managing your sleep and circadian rhythm in the winter months. Finally, Greg and Eric answer some listener questions, and Eric closes out the show by thanking the pharmaceutical industry for giving him a new lease on life.
