This interview is going in as a substitute for episode 79 of Barbell Buddha, the "Barbell Shrugged Thanksgiving special w/ Christmas Abbott" that took place in Sweden while visiting Eleiko's Headquarters. That episode is fun and loose and there are some gems scattered in this episode, so I encourage you to go listen to it after this interview. Dr. Galpin is a tenured University Professor with a PhD in "Human Bioenergetics". He teaches classes, publishes research, and works with athletes in the areas of health, human performance, strength & conditioning, and nutrition. If you're a fan of Chris and Barbell Shrugged you've heard his name many, many times. Andy was a colleague, former roommate, and close personal friend with Chris. I can't thank him enough for coming on the show and paying tribute to Chris's legacy and giving an honest, raw, and at some times, emotional take on Chris's life and legacy. I'm going to kick the show off with a song called “All or Nothing” by my favorite band, MuteMath. I encourage you to listen deeply to the words and carry that forward into the show. “Don't waste your whole life, on just a half try, it's all or nothing” Please enjoy this special episode of Barbell Buddha Rediscovered called “The Story of Two Chris's.”

Today on the show I have Mike Bledsoe on to recap episode 62 of Barbell Buddha, talk about music & synchronicity, and create a "brave space" for your eardrums. Listener beware!
This week on the show I get Mike Bledsoe to jump on the mic with me to answer the same Twitter & Instagram questions from Barbell Buddha's episode back in 2014. You won't want to miss it. Enjoy!
This week we talk about #ViceFriday, doing things you don't like because you feel like you have to, home gyms, and we get another classic Barbell Buddha storytelling performance to close the show. Enjoy!
I'm fired up in this episode, so get ready to strap in! We'll play two games this week called, "What Chris learned from..." and "What Brooks learned from Chris learning from..." and will get some UH-MAZING pearls and nuggets from the Barbell Buddha himself. Enjoy!
This week I talk about recording with Mike Bledsoe for his last episode on the Shrugged Collective by remembering Barbell Buddha and the era that started it all. I also get Chris on for nearly 20 minutes to talk about the light side of being selfish. Should be a good one!
This week we'll talk about Barbell Buddha's football regrets, the infinity hanging out above your head, and how the peace you're seeking is right here in this moment. Enjoy!
This week on the podcast I read Chris's first "viral" article (also a chapter in Way Past Strong), "The Tao of Rich Froning." I also pull some clips from Barbell Buddha's episode by the same name where we discuss assumptions and the detriments of grasping as well as seeing your real progress despite doubts and fears. I share stories about how my dog is teaching me to let go of control and talk about my physical and professional development. Enjoy!
This week on the podcast we’re diving into episode 11 of Barbell Buddha, Bright Flowers and Heavy Barbells. I get Chris on to discuss what bright flowers and barbell training have in common and let him explain how to find more depth in your training. I also share how his philosophy has impacted the culture of my gym, Recess. I hope you enjoy it!
This week I talk about Icelandic strength culture, hitting the reset button on training to rediscover the basics, and how I continue to find new things in the Barbell Buddha catalogue. I also get Chris on to explain why your strength program doesn’t matter as much as you think it does. Don’t fall into the trap of complexity! Don’t chase the dragon! I had fun with this one. Enjoy!
Director of Education: Andy is a tenured Professor in the Center for Sport Performance at CSU Fullerton. He was born and raised in beautiful Rochester, WA and is a die-hard Seahawks, Huskies, & Mariner fan. RIP Sonics. As a youth, Andy played every sport at his disposal, excelling at Football, Basketball, Baseball, and Track & Field. While not playing, he worked at grocery stores, gas stations, hay fields, blueberry farms, and in the road construction business. It was during this time he discovered Strength & Conditioning. Andy took his limited talents to Linfield College to join their Football team and pursue a degree in Exercise Science. While he experienced great success in both (2004 National Championship and 2x Captain and immediate inductee into the "All Ugly" Team), the true reward of this time was the meeting of lifelong friend (Doug Larson). The two fed each other's pursuit of knowledge of human performance and led them to attend the University of Memphis for the Masters degrees in Human Movement Sciences. A bit of luck and excellent faculty mentoring led Doug and Andy to meet Mike Bledsoe and the man formally known as "Barbell Buddha" Chris Moore - all of which later led to the creation of the #1 Health & Fitness Podcast in the world Barbell Shrugged. It also marked the start of Andy's competitive Weightlifting (culminating in his 7th Place finish in the 2007 National Championships), Mixed Martial Arts, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu careers. Needing to know more about muscle, Andy spent 4 years studying the structure and function of human skeletal muscle at the single cell level, a feat which earned him a PhD in Human Bioenergetics in 2011. This also resulted in the friendship with frequent collaborator Dr. Jimmy Bagley and the ability to open up his own "Biochemistry and Molecular Exercise Physiology Laboratory" at CSU Fullerton. He now focuses his attention on teaching classes (Sports Nutrition, Exercise Physiology, Designing Exercise Programs, Applied Strength and Conditioning, Athlete Assessment and Measurement, etc.) and running the BMEP lab (which studies the acute responses and chronic adaptations of human skeletal muscle in response to high force/velocity/power and fatiguing exercise from the whole body, down to the individual muscle fiber and even into the individual DNA. The team does this by taking muscle biopsies from non-athletes and elite athletes from different backgrounds (e.g. normal college student, MMA fighter, Boxer, Weightlifter, etc.) and use highly sophisticated laboratory techniques and equipment to address questions about single fiber "type", size, function, protein quantity, diameter, mitochondria, and myonuclear function. You can get all of our published research here. At heart, Andy is simply a story-teller and teacher.

Some of the things we discuss are: (05:30): What are the different mechanisms of muscle hypertrophy? (08:30): What role does metabolic stress have for muscle hypertrophy? (13:30): Does muscle damage cause muscle hypertrophy? (27:30): Can you change your muscle fiber types based on how you train? (41:00): What is the take home message?
In this episode of the podcast, we examine Barbell Buddha episode 3, Be Still. I share two nuggets and pearls about what meditation is (or isn’t), its benefits, and how we can add this simple practice into our daily lives. I also give some insight about the origins of my personal practice, and how Chris helped dial it in even more. Enjoy!
In this special interview, new host Brooks Meadows sits down with Jani Moore and her sister, Abby Joffre Eijken, to discuss Chris’s passing, reestablishing a life and mission, and to introduce a new podcast: Barbell Buddha Rediscovered. In this episode you’ll learn why we’re rebooting Barbell Buddha, how we intend to spread Chris’s work, and where you can follow us to get involved. Get ready to Rediscover the amazing life and work of our buddy, Chris Moore.
Good morning folks, Brew the coffee strong, we've got a special episode coming your way! While we had different plans for today's episode, our conversation about being a good man quickly evolved into a celebratory conversation of the life of a teacher and mentor from afar for both of us, Chris Moore. Chris was a father, husband, teacher, writer and all around good human. In today's conversation we discuss the impact Chris had on both of our lives, and the invitation he leaves for us all to do Good. Thank you Chris! To read more of Chris' work and to support his family, please visit http://barbellbuddha.com ! We finished out the show with a special guest and a FaceTime high-five, now brew yourself some coffee, make yourself (and your family) some pancakes, and enjoy! @TheDeadMansCoffeeClub
This episode is about Chris Moore, the Barbell Buddha himself. We learn about what motivates him, what brings him joy, and the work he hopes to do with his life. It’s about his influence on us as athletes, podcasters, and human beings; his ability to constantly challenge himself and those around him; and his serious love for ice cream. It is also a small piece of Chris’ legacy, as barely 24 hours after this conversation was recorded, Chris passed away from sudden heart failure at his home in Amsterdam. But we know that Chris’ work is not over, and we are honored beyond description to have a small part in continuing to spread his message through this episode. We know you are going to love this interview. And if you’d like to help make Chris’ dreams for his art and his family a reality, please visit gofundme.com/mooreironheart
I'll give you the framework to build a physique that looks AND performs at the level you want. We talk strength training, how to (and not to) condition to be lean, strong, and healthy. We also talk a little bit about what it was like for me to unplug for the first time in four years and the impact that has had on my thinking. Finally, I pay some respect to a guy who has influenced me and my thinking for a long time now, Chris Moore of Barbell Buddha and Barbell Shrugged, in light of his unfortunate recent passing.
Is This Podcast Paleo? CrossFit, Food, Lifting and Paleo for Real People
This week we’re recapping Paleof(x), and talking about eating Paleo when you don’t ‘have’ to. We also talk about the sad news on the loss of Chis Moore, aka Barbell Buddha, and reflect on what his philosophy and ethos can do to help us live a Good life, a little better, every day. If you would like to contribute to the GoFundMe page to support Chris’s family and getting the project he has been working on released, please visit GoFundMe.com/MooreIronHeart
