Workout just once a week?

September 28, 2022 11:00 - 53 minutes - 49 MB

There’s no dispute that working out once a week is better than not working out at all. But why does the media promote studies claiming that one workout a week is as effective multiple workouts a week? And how come these stories repeat in cycles year after year? Probably because some people want to believe them. We talk about not the substance of any of these studies, but what would the impact be if they were true. Also we talk about an approach to breath training that was once discounted, b...

How do you know what you don’t know (but think you know)?

September 21, 2022 11:00 - 53 minutes - 48.7 MB

For better or for worse, our brains let us believe a lot of things that aren’t true. One good example is the Mandela Effect – misremembering the facts around something in popular culture. We kick things off with a little quiz to see how affected we are by this phenomenon. We then shift into a discussion of another type of mental mistake. We’ve talked a bit on previous episodes about the Dunning-Kruger -Effect but never really tied it to issues in the fitness world. How many trainers argue f...

Is the gym your church? The barbell your religion? | One Good Question

September 16, 2022 11:00 - 26 minutes - 20.9 MB

This episode started as a part of our warmup conversation for Wednesday’s episode, and it ended up taking on a life of it’s own. Does organized religion install morality or is it already there?

About those new IPF bench press rules…

September 14, 2022 11:00 - 38 minutes - 30.8 MB

Did anyone think that in 2022 that someone would need to coin the term “bench depth?” The International Powerlifting Federation has imposed new performance rules on the competition bench press. Are they really that big a deal? Will that many people be affected? How hard are they going to be to enforce? And finally, which critics will they actually appease? Avi Lieu, a USAPL pro powerlifter, joins us for this discussion. You can find Avi on Instagram @avi.lieu and Tiktok @avi.lieu ____ Have...

Good and evil, spitting gum, and thoughts on Suicide Prevention Week

September 07, 2022 11:45 - 54 minutes - 49.7 MB

We wanted to spend a little time talking about some simple, actionable ways to be helpful if someone you know is struggling and may be suicidal. Check the article below for more. We kicked off with a discussion of good and evil in high fantasy shows like the current spinoffs of Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings. Then, we looked into the internet controversy around whether Harry Styles spit gum on Chris Pine at a recent film premier, and we looked at a powerlifting incident from the past...

The girlfriend who didn’t exist: Manti Te’o documentary review.

August 31, 2022 11:15 - 1 hour - 59.3 MB

This week we’re taking a look at one of the latest entries in the Netflix “Untold” documentary series. On September 11, 2012, Notre Dame football sensation Manti Te’o told various news outlets that his grandmother and his girlfriend had died on the same day. Some of that statement proved not to be true at all. His “girlfriend” was a person he’d never met and wasn’t at all dead. How did Te’o end up in this position? Was he naïve or calculating? Why did the media treat him more like a perpetr...

Tim Thibodeau (Gameday Barbell) and Nadeem Hamidy (Barbell Brigade) stuck around to help us with this question from our Discord: Keith Honeycutt asked: What would you pick to be your last meal if you were on death row?

Which athlete (or lifter) inspired you the most?

August 10, 2022 11:05 - 53 minutes - 48.9 MB

Inspired by a series of online polls ranking Yuri Belkin, Russ Orhii, and Dan Bell by the likes of Jonnie Candito and our friends at Massenomics, we decided to ask what might be a more important question. Who inspired or continues to inspire you? Comparisons among powerlifters who compete differently are tough. Comparisons among athletes who compete in different sports in different eras are also tough. But what really matters is how YOU connect to a particular athlete. We take a shot at answe...

Middle finger ethics

August 03, 2022 11:00 - 44 minutes - 40.7 MB

Athletes who are “characters” are a lot more fun to follow. But how much is too much? CrossFit Games athlete Danielle Brandon appeared in a picture posted by CrossFit flipping the bird at her own promotional image. Many commenters reacted badly, claiming it was a bad look for the sport, but were they really reacting to her gesture or were they reacting to CrossFit’s recent search for identity amid organization upheavals and changes to competitive structure. Will a brand new CEO get the situat...

Is it ok to fat shame Elon Musk? | Guest Coach Joe Grinstain

July 27, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 50.4 MB

A recent picture of a shirtless, chunky Elon Musk has drawn a lot of conversation online, especially when compared to the equally shirtless, but lean and muscular super talent agent Ari Emanuel (he was the inspiration for the Ari Gold character in the series Entourage). Is it ok to fat shame the richest man in the world, or his he fair game? Or does he really not look that bad? And what about the weird combination mainstream BS and fringe-as-hell BS that Ari is supposedly using to be lean a...

Would you rather miss an open lay-up or get posterized? | July Q and A

July 20, 2022 23:38 - 53 minutes - 42.8 MB

Haven’t done one of these in a minute. What are our favorite chocolate and non-chocolate candies Would Mike rather miss an open layup or get posterized for game winning point? What’s our most viewed piece of content…and which are we the most proud of? When is a good time for someone relatively new to lifting to start using accessories? We also discuss a recent survey about high-quality vs. “cheap but trendy” apparel – and we attempt to get to the bottom of the definition of a “power bo...

We take a look at the 2022 Netflix film “Hustle” starring Adam Sandler, Queen Latifa, and more NBA cameo appearances than maybe any movie ever. Can an aging basketball scout make an NBA star out of a street baller from Spain? Is this basketball Rocky? Or basketball Creed? Dean Saddoris of Caffeine & Kilos is back for this discussion. Mike kicks us off with a question: Is there any upside for a celebrity or athlete to discuss whether they’re natty or not? Why even bother to address steroids a...

Avi Lieu: Our gym’s first USAPL pro lifter!

July 06, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 49.1 MB

Like a lot of PL-based gyms, Third Street Barbell has a mixture of competitive powerlifters and regular folks concentrating on strength and fitness. We honestly didn’t expect to have a lifter earn a pro card this early in our history. At USAPL Mega Nationals in June, Avi Lieu placed fifth with a 430kg/948lbs total at 54.45kg / 120.04lbs bodyweight for a 507.86 DOTS coefficient. She hit a 152.5kg / 336.20lbs squat, 85kg / 187.39lbs bench press, and a 192.5kg/424.39lbs deadlift. We talk about...

Eric Helms: What is Fat and Why Does It Make Everything Delicious? | Rewind episode

June 24, 2022 13:00 - 40 minutes - 32.8 MB

This episode completes our basic macro rewind trilogy with Eric Helms. This was the fourth episode of the show, but the third we recorded back in 2018. We’ll be back with brand new episodes next week. Original show notes: We spend a few minutes discussing the documentary “Transformer” about Janae Marie Kroczaleski…and our small part in it.

June 15, 2022 18:29 - 57 minutes - 46.2 MB

Today’s ep is a rewind back to episode 1, where we went looking for some basic facts about protein. We were joined by the always awesome Eric Helms! Original show notes: We’re kicking this new show off by asking seemingly basic questions about diet and nutrition. First up, “What is (dietary) protein anyway?" After a quick catch-up session, we talk through the “facts” of what we think we know about this question – which, of course raises even more questions like... How much protein do you re...

If you could change one small decision in the past, would it be worth it? | One Good Question

Does the gym have a high Turnover of members?

We tackled the questions anyway. Have a question for...

Is the new Top Gun any good? Is either of them a sports movie?

June 08, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 51.6 MB

This is our first shot at taking a look at a huge box office hit (Top Gun – 1986) that Mike had never seen and combined that with the opportunity to watch its huge box office hit sequel (Top Gun – Maverick). Dan Stornaiuolo (@bigdan916) joined us to compare these fighter jock flicks. Is the new one actually better? Is there volleyball? Does a sports movie have to have sports to be a sports movie? Spoiler warning for both movies, but if you haven’t seen the first one 36 years after it was re...

Tyson (2008) documentary review

May 25, 2022 13:00 - 55 minutes - 44.7 MB

We took on the sometimes confusing and stylistically odd documentary Tyson, about the life and career of the often confusing and confounding former heavyweight boxing champ, Mike Tyson. Seemingly shot and edited in a style intended to convey just what goes on inside the head of one of the most electric sports figures ever, we break down what worked and didn’t work for us. More than anything, we were fascinated by all the crazy things he accomplished through brute strength and sheer force of w...

Why can’t you reach your goals?

May 18, 2022 13:00 - 49 minutes - 40 MB

This question came from our Discord, but we decided it needed more of an answer than we usually give our Friday “One Good Question” episodes. We decided to give it some room to breathe. Lucas F. asked: “People often have an affinity for strength training because progress is objectively measurable via the weight on the bar, versus subjectively when it comes to physique progress. But are stark, concrete numbers a double-edged sword? Can plateauing -- and a lack of objective progress -- coup...

Tony Hawk: Till the Wheels Fall Off documentary review

April 27, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 60.6 MB

Some athletes really don’t want to quit. We all know powerlifters who should probably hang it up due to age, injuries, and the chaos the sport can bring to their “real” lives. Tom Brady can’t stay retired. Joe Montana had to hear from Bill Walsh that he couldn’t be a 49er anymore. Albert Pujols is still playing major league baseball in his 40s.
