If you've spent any time in the evidence-based fitness world, you've no doubt come across his work. Eric is a coach, athlete, author, researcher, and educator. He's one of the minds behind 3DMJ—helping natural bodybuilders and strength athletes reach their best without sacrificing their health—and the author of The Muscle & Strength Pyramid books, The Nutrition Coach's Guide to Bodybuilding, and countless research reviews.What I love most about Eric is that he bridges the gap between science and real-world application—always with an emphasis on sustainability, psychological health, and the long game. So today, we're diving deep into the tricky terrain of what happens after a fat loss phase—reverse dieting, low energy availability, and how lean you can realistically stay without sacrificing your health or performance. I really loved this episode and i'm hoping you do too!If you're interested in working with Eric or his team you can contact them HERE at 3DMJ Coaching.For coaches looking to learn more and stay up to date with the latest research check out Mass Research Review.

In this episode, Eric Helms is joined by returning guest, his fellow 3DMJ coach and WNBF Pro bodybuilder, Alberto Nuñez, who is also the  male WNBF athlete rep. In addition, they are joined by first time guest Steff Noble, a WNBF Figure pro, experienced coach, and president of WNBF UK. The trio first reflects on what was arguably the most competitive natural bodybuilding season to date, and the overall state of drug free bodybuilding, which in many ways is flourishing. There is more interest, higher competitive levels, higher productive quality in some regions, and in some countries natural bodybuilding is growing faster than enhanced bodybuilding. In North America, while some federations are doing better than others, the market demand for natural bodybuilding is obvious, as the NPC has made a concerted push to enter the natural bodybuilding scene, promoting drug tested shows in the US and Canada (as well as overseas), and even offering the chance to turn pro at the biggest natural events, with promises of drug tested pro shows on the horizon. What does this mean for natural bodybuilding? Is this a good thing, a threat, the beginning of a new era, or the beginning of the end? Further, what does the natural bodybuilding community need to do collectively to secure its future? Join us in this episode as we review not only the 2024 natural bodybuilding season, but discuss the future of the sport.

In today's episode, 3DMJ coach and athlete Brian Minor and I aim to demystify the concept of progressive overload. Brian is a coach, educator, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), and athlete, with a Master's Degree in Health and Exercise Science from Colorado State University. He's been coaching athletes for over a decade, with a primary focus on those interested in improving body composition, physique contest prep, and within the sport of powerlifting. Tune in to hear Brian's thoughts on what progressive overload is, what tools to use to track whether it's happening or not, how to choose a training program when you're starting out, how to change it as you become more advanced, how to tell when you're no longer a beginner, but rather an intermediate or advanced lifter… and much more than I could fit into this description!

The world of rehab is full of assessments and treatments. Some are legitimate, others less so, but the confusing part is that some of these assessments have a logical basis, connecting movement to function, can be improved with an treatment, and this coincides with the natural time course of healing. But was the assessment actually measuring the dysfunction or injury in some way, and did the treatment actually positively impact recovery beyond the placebo effect? To answer these hard questions we're joined by Iron Culture regular, Dr. Nick Licameli, an experienced physical therapist who works with the general populace as well as 3DMJ athletes, and his colleagues Dr. Jared Maynard of Unbreakable Strength and John Flagg of Rebuild Stronger, a physical therapist and a certified athletic trainer, respectively, who both work with strength athletes.
