Why is there so much hate for science-based lifters right now?

In this episode, I’m joined by Geoffrey Verity Schofield to unpack the misconceptions about evidence-based training, the pitfalls of ‘optimality,’ and how to actually apply science without getting lost in the weeds.

Plus, Geoffrey shares his 2.5-week mini-cut experience and how he managed to drop nearly 10 pounds without tracking food.

This one’s a must-listen for anyone serious about training!
