Creatine vs a T P

We are officially back from winter break with a brand new schedule! We’ll be releasing episodes more frequently from this point forward, with new episodes posted every Thursday.

In today’s episode, Greg and Eric share some updates on their Road to the Stage and Road to Athens segments, which is followed by a discussion of some recent Feats of Strength. After that, Eric’s Research Review segment takes a deep dive into the research on ATP supplementation, and Greg briefly discusses a brand new Stronger By Science article about row variations. Next, Greg presents a Coach’s Corner segment that revisits the topic of goal setting with an in-depth discussion about how to set an effective superordinate goal, and how important it is to continuously maintain alignment throughout your entire goal hierarchy. Eric also answers a listener's question about carbohydrate sources and the glycemic index, and Greg and Eric close out the show by paying their respects to two remarkable people who recently passed away.
