Weight Loss Plateaus, Tough Love, and Energy Audits
The Stronger By Science Podcast
The Biggest Lift in Power Lifting History?
This is the heaviest lift in power lifting history. Jimmy cobb has gone to the new rubberized shirts and started using them on his bench presses. You can find both of those videos in the show notes for today's episode. And who fuka knows, might be 15 hundred in a year.
In this week’s episode, Greg shares some incredible Feats of Strength, followed by an in-depth discussion about how to do an “energy audit” to troubleshoot weight loss plateaus. The conversation covers topics including metabolic adaptation, energy compensation, and a long list of factors that may lead us to overestimate energy expenditure or underestimate energy intake. After covering some of the most common physiological (and non-physiological) variables that may contribute to erroneous tracking, blunted energy expenditure, and increased energy intake, the conversation shifts toward practical solutions. Finally, to close out the show, Greg and Eric discuss some unbelievable 40-yard dash times at the 2022 NFL combine.
