    Do we have free will? What if all our decisions are foregone conclusions? Oct 25, 2023
    Show notes We’ve got no free will. Stop attributing stuff to us that isn’t there. — Stanford neurobiologist Robert Sapolsky
    When a Stanford neurobiologist states that free will largely doesn’t exist, and he’s joined in this thought by other neurobiologists as well as a bunch of mathematicians, we have to take a moment to think about the whole idea. But was that really a choice? A decision? Or have our particular backgrounds destined us to take that pause?
    In the world of fitness, are any of the choices we make about training, diet, etc., actually based on evaluating all the available options or are they just what we were always going to do?
    This is maybe the trippy-est and potentially divisive episode of the show ever – though we as host are pretty much in agreement. Many of you may not feel the same way.
    Listener resources: National Institutes of Health paper on Free Will LA Times article on the Stanford neurobiologist who says free will doesn't exist

    Trap bar dead only if you don’t compete in powerlifting? Oct 13, 2023
    Show notes

    This week’s question comes from…us.
    If you’re not competing in powerlifting, are there any good reasons to deadlift with a straight bar rather than at trap bar? What would you be giving up, and what would you be gaining? If you do compete, should you do trap bar deads at all?

    Snacks and Powerlifting: US vs UK | Guest Oli The Designer Oct 11, 2023
    Show notes

    Think of this as a little compare and contrast essay we put together with our friend and visitor from the other side of the pond, Oli The Designer. Are powerlifting gyms the same? How do American snacks like Mega Stuff Oreos and Saltines match up? Do fitness influencers have as much, well, influence?
