50% Facts

Latest Episodes:

Whitechapel bassist Gabe Crisp May 05, 2023

Show notes

Due to a canceled flight and prep for an apparel drop, we’ve only got one episode this week…but it’s a fun one.
Our longtime buddy, Gabe Crisp, was in town for a gig and was gracious enough to join us. We talked about whether metal vocalists really need to scream, the relationship between powerlifting and angry music, when touring musicians find time to lift, his love for discgolf, and the rules and ethics of mosh pits.
You can find the deathcore band Whitechapel at whitechapelband.com. Gabe is on Instagram at @eatsontour.

Things we want to believe…but maybe aren’t true? Apr 26, 2023

Show notes

UFOs? Aliens? Training plans that always work…for anyone? Calorie theory? We discuss the limitations of evidence and the point that blind faith (and wishful thinking) kick in.

Who in the fitness world would we like to meet? | One good question Apr 22, 2023

Show notes

Time for another question from our Discord.
Keith Honeycutt asks “(Who is) someone in the fitness industry you still want to meet in person?”
After decades (combined) of time in the industry, who haven’t we met that we’d still like to meet? It’s a pretty short list…

Rewind: Dr. Andy Galpin on Cold Plunges Apr 12, 2023

Show notes

We’re still on a production break for a couple of weeks or so due to a trip out of the country, so we’re revisiting some valuable episodes from the beginning (and original format) of the show.
We know that heat and cold shock proteins form in the body in reaction to changes in temperature, but what do they do and should we be trying hard to get them?
• How much do you need to change your body temperature to get a reaction?
• What, if anything, are cryo- chambers good for?
• Is it enough to just get hot or do you need to moving (like doing hot yoga)?
• When in a training cycle should you use them?
Dr. Andy Galpin joins us again as expert for this discussion. Andy is a tenured Professor in the Center for Sport Performance at CSU Fullerton, and holds a PhD in Bioenergetics.
Our ideas start at about 13:18.
Andy starts dropping knowledge starting at around 18:00.
Huge thanks to Andy for being our expert once again. You can find him on Instagram: @drandygalpin and his website at andygalpin.com (where there’s tons of free information). You can also find his book with Brian MacKinsey, “Unplugged” on Amazon.com

Lift to the same standard or don’t compare your lifts? | Topic Thunder Apr 07, 2023

Show notes

Joe pitched this one from one of his followers: You can lift anyway you want, but you can’t compare your lifts to anyone else’s if they are not to the same standard.
Can you really compare lifts across federations or different equipment standards? Are squats with wraps comparable to squats with sleeves? Are deadlift bars and stiff bars THAT different in terms of weight lifted?

Rewind: @Trippadvice on where to meet girls Apr 04, 2023

Show notes

We’re still on a production break for a couple of weeks or so due to a trip out of the country, so we’re revisiting some valuable episodes from the beginning (and original format) of the show. (Plus, you get to hear us to an ad read we didn’t have time to cut out.)
Here’s the original description of this episode:
Friends, dates, relationships…all pretty essential to most of us, right? But a lot of us suck at finding good places to meet potential partners.We asked Tripp Kramer to help us help you conquer this issue. Tripp is an internationally known dating coach and founder of Tripp Advice, a men's dating advice company. He is also the creator of the popular YouTube channel "Tripp Advice," which teaches men how to become more attractive to women and the host of his own weekly podcast entitled "How To Talk To Girls."Here are some of our thoughts on the question:

Are some places too tacky and obvious (meat markets)?
Should bars be off your list?
Is the gym actually a good place or is everybody too sweaty and gross?
Are there activities that are more likely to result in good conversation?
Is it better to go where there the MOST opportunities or the BEST opportunities?

While we focused on the specific question of guys meeting girls, much of the advice also works for getting out of your shell and meeting new people -- period.You can find Tripp on Instagram @@trippadvice____

Do audio books count as reading? | Topic Thunder Mar 31, 2023

Show notes

Is listening to a book on audio the same thing as reading the words with your eyes? Is there a downside to only listening? There’s more disagreement on this than you might think.
