460: Clean Thinking & Digital Dementia - Scott Stevenson Mar 22, 2025

Show notes

In this conversation, Steve Hall and Dr. Scott Stevenson delve into the implications of AI on our lives, particularly in the context of coaching and bodybuilding. They discuss the importance of 'clean thinking' as a mental nourishment akin to clean eating, and the dangers of over-reliance on technology, which can lead to cognitive decline, or 'digital dementia.'

The discussion emphasizes the value of struggle, hard work, and the role of coaching in personal development, while also highlighting the need for self-reliance and the importance of mental challenges in achieving growth.

They explore how technology can both aid and hinder our cognitive abilities, and the necessity of maintaining a balance between using technology and developing our own skills. The conversation wraps up with reflections on the future of bodybuilding and coaching, and the importance of community and shared experiences in overcoming challenges.

458: Higher Training Volumes & Optimal Protein Intake - Eric Helms Mar 08, 2025

Show notes

Dr. Eric Helms is back on the podcast for an in-depth discussion on his latest training and nutrition insights. We revisit his uni-corn offseason gains, how his recent mini cut set him up for prep, and why he’s able to handle close to 30 sets per week for multiple muscle groups.

We also break down his latest research on protein intake when dieting, including key takeaways from his recent paper with Martin Refalo and Eric Trexler. Plus, we dive into the ongoing protein debate between Menno Henselmans and Milo Wolf.

To wrap up, we tackle a big issue in the evidence-based space—science communication. With new studies frequently challenging existing ideas, many lifters feel lost in a whirlwind of conflicting information. Eric shares his perspective on how to navigate it all.

This one is packed with insights to help you train smarter—don’t miss it!

453: Small Tweaks, Big Results - Max Coleman Feb 01, 2025

Show notes

Join me as I sit down with Max Coleman to discuss how small tweaks in training can lead to big results, from adjusting exercise angles to focusing more on execution.

We also dive into using science productively without overthinking it, nutrition hacks that prioritise adherence, and the age-old debate of "many roads to Rome." Plus, Max shares his passion for cooking, how he stays on track while experimenting in the kitchen, and his thoughts on the Ninja Creami.

This episode is perfect for anyone wanting practical insights to level up their fitness journey.
