In a riveting conversation with researcher Dr. James L Nuzzo, we dissect the differences in skeletal muscle fiber types between men and women. James brings unique insights from his meta-analysis of over 100 studies, unraveling fascinating intricacies about muscle power and strength differences between men and women.  Then, we turn the spotlight on the less examined subject of gender differences in exercise sciences and academia. The absence of discourse on the physiological disparities between men and women, the controversy of transgender females competing against biological females, and the need for a proactive dialogue in this realm are just some of the issues we unpack in this episode.Timeline:0:20 – About Dr. James Nuzzo2:46 - Sex differences in skeletal muscle fiber types; yes, men have more fast-twitch muscle fibers!11:22 – Female exercise scientists – are they silent on the issue of women’s sports and transgender athletes? 31:37 – Men’s health disparities and institutional support.34:00 - Are women under-represented in scientific research? Meaning, women are not being studied? The data is surprising.45:48 – Reconsidering the value of flexibility About our guest:James L.

Get ready to shatter stereotypes as we journey through the controversial domain of testosterone and steroids in sports with our high-profile guest, Rick Collins Esq., an internationally recognized legal authority on everything from sports nutrition and bodybuilding supplements to performance-enhancing substances. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that promises to challenge preconceived notions, bringing you face to face with the surprising reality that 80% of non-medical steroid users are not athletes but individuals seeking physical enhancements for purely cosmetic purposes. Timeline:0:00 – Introduction – the 1996 publication on Androgens – it’s not as harmful as folks make it out to be in otherwise healthy males.4:43 – Remember 100-meter sprinter Ben Johnson? Why is testosterone maligned? What are the socio-cultural aspects of this?7:14 – Testosterone as a metaphor for masculinity; traditional masculinity is maligned.7:39 - American Psychological Association in 2019 – Traditional masculinity is toxic9:05 – Does bodybuilding contribute to the stigma of anabolic steroids?9:20 – Rick was the only lawyer that lifted weights when he was in law school. C’mon lawyers, lift some weights!12:21 - Who actually uses anabolic steroids and why? Cyclists? Pro Athletes? Not so fast…80% of users in a non-medical context are using it for cosmetic purposes. 18:00 – T helps body composition but is frowned upon; juxtapose that with cosmetic procedures that women routinely take that likely carry greater risk. A double standard?23:47 – Rick covers the legality of the possession and sale of androgens.28:28 – ACSM promoted total BS about androgens back in the 70s and 80s.32:57 – Gender dysphoria (DSM-5) and muscle dysmorphia (bigorexia nervosa).

We had a fun discussion about the current state of science vis a vis Squats vs. Hip ThrustsSee this paper for more information:https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.06.21.545949v2 Hip thrust and back squat training elicit similar gluteus muscle hypertrophy and transfer similarly to the deadliftTimeline:00:23 – About our special guest, Bret Contreras PhD1:48 – Boca Raton is one big Seinfeld episode3:48 – Bret explains how this study came about3:56 – The infamous Barbalho investigation – to quote Elaine on Seinfeld, “fake, fake, fake.”12:18 – Gluteus medius and minimus didn’t grow13:00 – Gluteus maximus growth was the same between hip thrusts and squats despite the fact that sEMG data showed much greater activity when doing hip thrusts13:56 – No hamstring growth in either group14:11 – Quads and Adductors grew more for the squat group14:30 – Strength gains were specific to the exercise – principle of specificity15:00 – Both groups gained similar strength in deadlift and wall push16:12 – Just do both exercises if the goal is skeletal muscle hypertrophy17:57 – Sprinters have the best hamstring development – Bret opines19:14 – Upper glute size – in the hip thrust group, you had 3 hyper-responders, but then you had 3 that actually experienced muscle atrophy. And you also had 3 that didn’t respond at all. So 1/3rd of the subjects had no response!19:42 – Middle Glute size – in the hip thrust group, one individual actually atrophied.20:45 – Squats produced much more consistent results21:37 – Bret is now quite suspicious of EMG data in predicting skeletal muscle hypertrophy26:12 – Bret talks about how training has changed or not; for men, not so much. For women, it has changed a bit.26:40 – Focus on the basics: squats, deadlifts, hip thrusts, chin ups, military press, and bench press27:10 – Glute training is emphasized a lot more these days, particularly in women31:13 – Targeting the Adductor Magnus! Folks seem to ignore this large muscle and focus on Quads or Hams33:44 – Opening your hips – means hip abduction with external rotation38:48 – For athletes, Tony opines on these issues46:20 – In trained men and women, would there be a difference in hip thrusts vs. squats46:36 – In the real world, nobody volume-equates hip thrusts vs. squats47:10 – You can do more volume with hip thrusts than squats; so a study comparing them in trained people would necessarily result in greater volume in the hip thrust group50:11 – Of course, doing both squats and hip thrusts would work better51:13 – Volume equating training in the endurance world makes no sense either54:30 – Bret has a bad ass gym in Fort Lauderdale.  Don’t stop by unless you want bigger glutes.Our guest:Bret Contreras PhD – bretcontreras.com ·        PhD in Sports Science from AUT University·        Master’s Degree from Arizona State University

Why do women gravitate towards the ultra-long distance events?15:33 – Dr. Sims recommends that women do more sprint interval training, more high intensity interval training (HIIT)16:10 – the “typical” male endurance training program of 80% LSD (long slow distance) and 20% HIIT or SIT doesn’t apply to women; instead, focus on intensity and less so on LSD.19:25 – Dr. Sim’s loves plyos! We all need to do more of this; it complements resistance training.24:06 - How much strength do women lose each decade; how do you convince women that lifting weights won’t make you large?24:23 – Women, you have two choices when you are 80 years old; do you want to live in assisted living or be a fully independent person?29:30 – Some adaptogens that Dr. Sims loves for women – ashwagandha, maca, rhodiola, and schisandra33:14 - Other more “traditional” supplements – iron, calcium, anti-oxidants (no!), creatine, caffeine, etc. Supps women should take!36:00 – Just taking calcium won’t help bone mineral density!36:45 – Don’t take anti-oxidant supplements! Not good. 38:21 - Creatine and caffeine – Women should ALL take CREATINE dangit!!41:33 - Gut health – what are the benefits of having a healthy gut microbiome – what can we do to insure our gut health?44:25 – American grocery stores are full of shit food!
