Episode 140 IronRadio - Topic Two Paths to Hugeness Jan 19, 2012

Show notes

It's bodybuilding vs. powerlifting... or is it? Lonnie, Phil and Fortress cover reader mail and industry news, then Dr. L kicks off the Topic of the Day with a spanking new 2012 study. It covers muscular time under tension with lighter loads and it begs the question... Which is better? To get strong and use that strength to grow large -OR- to annihilate muscle tissue with techniques other than powerlifting? Here's what's in the episode overall - win stuff in our new iTunes voter drive, get facts and opinion on mouthpieces and cortisol, learn how many calories it really costs to build a pound of muscle, and explore a host of intensity techniques as an alternative to straight-up power training. Time to listen, learn, and lift! ***PS IronRadio is now jointly airing on PRIMAL FM on Saturday nights; your radio is no longer safe. Rock on!***
