episode 70: Reverse Dieting, Bodybuilding Mortality, and Optimizing Biomechanics


Today’s episode begins with updates from the dueling “Road to the Stage” and “Road to Athens” segments, followed by Feats of Strength. After that, Eric gives some contextualized clarifications about how the concept of “reverse dieting” has, in his opinion, been commonly misapplied. Next, Greg explores mortality rates among untested bodybuilders using a data-driven approach, and Eric provides a quick and practical “Coach’s Corner” segment about proactively managing your sleep and circadian rhythm in the winter months. Finally, Greg and Eric answer some listener questions, and Eric closes out the show by thanking the pharmaceutical industry for giving him a new lease on life.
