The Iron Culture alumni tour continues with the four year anniversary of the last appearance of Cliff Wilson, who returns to Iron Culture after another four years in the trenches to share his perspectives on coaching. Simply put, Cliff probably has the most impressive coaching resume of any physique coach in the game. Most interestingly, he sees himself as an evidence-based coach. But that's not necessarily a win for #science, if anything, it's a wake up call for people to have a better understanding of what it actually means to blend experience, scientific findings and individual differences together into the art of effective coaching. Join us as we sit down to discuss the topic with one of the most decorated coaches in the game. 00:00 Introduction: the return of Omar Isuf to YouTube Science vs Broscience: What Will Actually Build More Muscle!? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHmceMSIrxg  05:42 Welcoming Cliff (and his polo) back to Iron Culture Iron Culture Ep. 36- How To Look Your Absolute Best: Peaking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YShi00QoSTY 12:16 Science vs broscience 19:43 Having an ego and changing your position 24:30 Cliff's communication strategies with clients 36:25 Navigating the psychology of people who compete in physique sport 44:10 Cliff's coaching journey and success 52:02 The evidence-based coach, and anecdotal and scientific evidence 1:13:30 Being wrong, the limitations of science, and retrospective framing  1:17:44 Closing out and driving forward the sport of bodybuilding Where to find Cliff Instagram @cwteamwilson https://www.instagram.com/cwteamwilson/?hl=en Team Wilson https://www.teamwilsonbb.com/ Unrivaled Coaching https://www.unrivaledcoach.com/

Our best-est friend from north of the border joins us in studio. Omar has been a force in YouTube fitness for years, and last year he led “Ancient Workouts with Omar” in association with the History Channel. We launched into a broad discussion about the things we didn't know about training 10 years ago, whether not enjoying something that's “classic” make you a tasteless idiot, and whether there are really any weight classes in the jungle.

How many sets per body part should you do every week? How often should you train each body part? Are there any “best” exercises? How many exercises should you do for the same muscle? How often should you switch exercises? … And much more! Listen to the end for perhaps the most important component of a truly effective program.

The Carnivore Diet has exploded in popularity over the last several years thanks in large part to some very bold claims made by leading advocates. From the harmfulness of plants to the uselessness of fiber, these assertions are certainly bold. In this sizzling episode, Iron Culture hosts Omar Isuf and Eric Trexler investigate the validity of these claims, thoroughly examining and dispelling many incorrect beliefs commonly parroted by some aspects of the community. Surely this will be the least controversial episode they've done to date.

Ever dive into the research for a whole weekend and then just had NoOoO idea how to apply it to your client on Monday morning? Or even better, you figure out how to apply it and quickly realize it just didn't work?  Maybe you're an athlete who is having a hard time digesting all the info regarding training and injuries on the good ole' internet? This show is for you. John and Jared have been reflecting on their own experiences and the conversations they've had with previous ClinicalAthlete Podcast guests. They've gained tons of insights as both coaches and athletes because of this, but they knew that a lot of coaches and athletes were still struggling to make sense of it all. Enter The Nameless Series! (Don't worry, YOU'RE going to help us name it!) This is a laid-back, informal series all about how to blend being a coach and an athlete, helping you and your athletes perform better, and finding comfort in the “grey area”. The guys want to use this show to pass on what they've learned so far and what they're learning now, so you can learn from it too. They'll be bringing on influential guests from the athletic and coaching worlds that have wisdom to share - you'll probably recognize some of them! During this very first episode, John issues a “hair-off” challenge to Omar Isuf! The duo also talk about how much they love watching the little wins with their athletes and getting to know them more than just an athlete. They emphasize the importance of finding that blend of using the scientific-research but also connecting on a deeper level with your athletes and coaches. Make sure to keep an eye on John, Jared, and ClinicalAthlete's Instagrams to vote for a name to this new series!  Follow Jared, John and ClinicalAthlete on IG:@jared.unbreakablestrength@john.rebuildstronger@clinicalathlete ClinicalAthlete Powerlifting Certification:http://bit.ly/3bM5gDG Join the Free CALU Community!http://bit.ly/2XsaJrb Find a ClinicalAthlete Provider and learn more about Athlete Health & Performance at https://www.clinicalathlete.com Audio production by John Summerford

Full transparency, the main question is discussed in the last 15 minutes of the show. In part 1, we talk about what we’ve been up to during our production break for the holidays and plans for some future episodes of the show. NOTE: Next week we’re going to discuss the HBO documentary “Fake Famous” (trailer here) and the relationship between the fitness/lifting community and social media. If you’ve watched the doc, send us your written comments or voice memos to social@50percentfacts.com. Next month, we’re going to talk about the influence of the documentary “Pumping Iron” in an episode. In part 2, we’re joined by Eric (in New Zealand) and Omar (in Toronto). We really missed talking to these dudes! We talked about how we’ve all weathered the isolation of the pandemic, how current conditions have impacted our businesses, and whether we really even liked travel anyway. Eric holds a BS in fitness and wellness, an MS in exercise science, a second masters in sports nutrition, a PhD in strength and conditioning, and is a research fellow for AUT at the Sports Performance Research Institute New Zealand. Omar is a successful YouTube content creator from Canada, a partner with Mike Farr and Bart Kwan on Kizen Training, as well as pursuing other business ventures. He’s also a keen observer of media.

Dig if you will this picture, of you inside with the kids. This is what it sounds like when gains die. At this point, it has been four weeks without access to gyms for most individuals. Exacerbating the painful absence of the gym is the abundance of free time at our disposal, leading many to struggle with their nutrition. Fear not because in this episode today, Iron Culture co-owners (and current hosts) Eric Helms and Omar Isuf overview what you can do to stay on track with your nutrition. Eric delves into what the literature shows when it comes to activity levels and hunger cues. A robust helpful framework is established to arm you with the tools necessary to better adhere to your nutrition paradigm. We're all going to make it, one deliciously grilled chicken breast and a steamed cup of broccoli at a time. http://www.nutritioncoachingglobal.com

Pride, in the EP we have another special guest and friend sir Dr.Eric Helms PHD in getting stacked and jacked coming at you hot with nutritional information. In this podcast we talk about Intuitive Eating, what it is and what it is NOT. We talk about how to hit your goals and be compliant when it comes to losing weight or gaining muscle. We also dive into his thoughts on refeed (cheat) meals! I'm stoked for you to dive into this and as always there are tons of valuable golden nuggets to help you with your journey! Enjoy.

From the 1900s when Eugen Sandow promoted “Plasmon” and his “Health and Strength Cocoa”, the supplement industry has been rife with dubious claims. Since, like a game of limbo, the bar for quality, and scientific accuracy has only lowered. Rather than bending under the low bar, a few individuals vaulted right over by doing the unthinkable: starting companies that sell science-backed products, educate consumers, and use no-nonsense marketing. This week, Eric hosts a roundtable consisting of Ben Esgro, the biochemical-artist behind De Novo Nutrition, Mike Matthews of Legion Athletics, and our very own Omar Isuf, founder of Ouroboros. Learn the challenges they face as iconoclasts in the supplement industry and how they overcame them in this episode.

Rewind the clock. The year is 2009, Lady Gaga is all the rage, MySpace is THE social media platform and if you eat carbs after 6 pm, you are sabotaging your gains. Enjoy this episode of co-hosts Eric Helms and Omar Isuf reminiscing on their early days as lifting enthusiasts. You'll learn about the most anabolic chili, how far Eric is willing to go to get his protein intake and why adding 5lb per week to the bar doesn't work forever. You'll probably find yourself nodding along relating to many of the anecdotes...and probably being horrified by several others.

Our good friend Omar Isuf is in town, so he joined us for a conversation in which we actually talk quite a bit about celebrity, fitness, and how Omar accomplished his recent transformation? So much of the coverage of celebrities who get jacked revolves around their training, but does anyone believe they don’t use PEDs? Was Kobe Bryant’s death come about because people have a hard time saying no to celebrities? How did Omar know he could accomplish his transformation? What are the factors that contribute to a great powerlifting gym environment? Is it true that Omar has never seen “Remember the Titans?” Listener deals: Someone in your life needs flowers!

It is no secret that co-host Omar Isuf has had a long and difficult relationship with Creatine Monohydrate. Today's episode is about facing your addictions head-on as the hosts bring leading Creatine researcher Dr. Darren Candow on to discuss the potent white powder. The talk extends beyond the normal discussions on Creatine, examining not only the performance benefits but the cognitive perks as well. Even if you are a fellow Creatine enthusiast like one of the hosts, we're positive you'll walk away with a few new insights on everyone's favorite PES (Performance Enhancing Supplement).  

What's up Pride! In the EP I have two of the most influential people in the strength/fitness space join me on this podcast. Sir Alan Thrall & Omar Isuf! I has an absolute blast hosting them at my house for a few days while we lifted at The Lions Den and also ran a lifting clinic. Alan owns Untamed Strength in Sacramento CA which is a strongman and powerlifting gym. Omar is a fitness buff who enjoys spreading knowledge and collaborating with all the top athletes and coaching in the industry. Omar is base out of Toronto Canada. These guys are the real deal, talking about awesome practical tips to help you along your lifting/fitness journey. I'm pre-apologizing for my voice as it was really rough getting over being sick for a few weeks. However, these guys smashed it out of the park answering my questions. Enjoy!

The existence of weight classes and coefficients drive many people to do last minute weight cuts, but many don’t make the best choices when making these cuts. If competition is about being your best, are you setting yourself up for a sub-par performance? There are many ways to cut, but which ways are optimal? We cover these points, and the questions below, in this very compact episode. How much is too much to lose for a 24-hour weigh-in? Or a two-hour weigh-in? Are laxatives a good idea or will you have to poop on the platform? Can you cut enough weight without manipulating water intake? Do you have to cut carbs? Or salt? How do you put the weight back on quickly, safely, and without stomach upset? Is pigging out ever a good idea?   Eric holds a BS in fitness and wellness, an MS in exercise science, a second masters in sports nutrition, a PhD in strength and conditioning, and is a research fellow for AUT at the Sports Performance Research Institute New Zealand. Omar is a successful YouTube content creator from Canada, a partner with Mike Farr and Bart Kwan on Kizen Training, as well has pursuing other business ventures.  You can find Eric at 3DMuscleJourney.com and on Instagram: @helms3dmj You can find Omar on his hugely successful YouTube channel. And Instagram as @omarisuf. You can find them both on their new podcast, Iron Culture.  Hosted by Mike Farr (@silentmikke) and Jim McDonald (@thejimmcd).

Once again, we take on this question with that help of guests Eric Helms and Omar Isuf. With the known injury rates of many sports…including or maybe especially strength sports…maybe we should all just…be bodybuilders? Unpacking this question inevitably leads to more questions: Can you actually call bodybuilding a sport? Is bodybuilding style training actually safer in terms of injuries? Do you have to use performance enhancing drugs? Is the “bodybuilding lifestyle” actually healthy? Does bodybuilding – or other types of aesthetic competition – lead inevitably to disordered eating?

Greg discusses his new article, which is available here: https://www.strongerbyscience.com/squats-adductors/ 1:32:39 To play us out: A gentle reminder that GREG IS NOT A HOST. 1:34:30 Interview with Dr. Eric Helms 1:34:58 Eric Helms’ background 1:39:37 Helms is currently prepping for a bodybuilding competition. Compared to previous competition preps, what is he doing differently this time around? 1:40:51 Doing contest prep without strictly tracking macros 1:48:31 How low do Helms’ calories get during contest prep? 1:54:05 How long is Helms’ current prep going to be? 2:00:12 When you get late into a weight loss phase, do you cut down training volume or intensity? 2:06:37 Are you doing anything to proactively address reductions in non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) during contest prep? 2:07:33 Helms and Trexler bash the regular use of HIIT during contest prep 2:08:02 Does Helms have any strategies or approaches that he likes to use, despite the fact that they aren’t necessarily backed by scientific evidence? 2:10:02 What are a lot of bodybuilders getting wrong these days?

Should it be encouraged? 2:28:11 Helms plugs his “podcast” with Omar Isuf (Note: after a thorough review, it does not meet the Stronger By Science criteria for formal identification as a “fitness podcast,” and therefore is not the first fitness podcast ever) 2:30:50 How can people get in touch with Helms?

We take on this question with that help of previous guests Eric Helms and Omar Isuf, who joined us in studio. Eric holds a BS in fitness and wellness, an MS in exercise science, a second masters in sports nutrition, a PhD in strength and conditioning, and is a research fellow for AUT at the Sports Performance Research Institute New Zealand. Omar is a successful YouTube content creator from Canada, a partner with Mike Farr and Bart Kwan on Kizen Training, as well has pursuing other business ventures. He’s also a keen observer of media.  Here's part of how we broke it down.  What sets off our BS detectors? What are some common elements of gimmicks and scams in fitness? Is anything ever really too good to be true? Who usually ends up pitching them? How should scrupulous marketers (and content creators) craft their messages in ways that are not misleading? You can find Eric at 3DMuscleJourney.com and on Instagram: @helms3dmj You can find Omar on his hugely successful YouTube channel. And Instagram as @omarisuf. You can find them both on their new podcast, Iron Culture, but we’re drawing a blank on when new episodes get released. Thanks to Eric and Omar for joining us!

So many people are focusing on building personal brands or becoming “influencers”--  often through social media, YouTube, podcasts, etc. – but has the time already passed? Will it still work if you start today? We asked our good friend Omar Isuf for his perspective -- and advice -- relative to this question. Omar is a successful YouTube content creator from Canada, a partner with Silent Mike and Bart Kwan on Kizen Training, as well has pursuing other business ventures. He's also a keen observer of media. Mike kicks off the discussion with the theory that hitting it big in social media is becoming as rare and unlikely as making it in the NBA. Eventually the real question comes: can you actually make a living through these avenues if you didn’t start five or ten years ago? We talked through a number of factors: Is it harder to stand out now…or actually easier? What’s possible now that didn’t used to be? Is it too late to make money on YouTube through “easy” monetization? Does taking “cheap” sponsorships impact earnings for everyone? Which strategies might work now? Is having an attractive image enough? Along the way we name check The Sandlot, Babe Ruth, Prince, Howard Stern, Joe Rogan, Brendan Schaub, Joey Diaz, and Pornhub. We also kick around masterminds, selling merch, developing your own products, paywalled content, reality TV, vlogging, failed porn actors, Luminary for podcasts, and anti-intellectualism. One hint at our answer: Success leaves clues   You can find Omar on his hugely successful YouTube channel. And Instagram as @omarisuf.

We had some fun with this episode by breaking format and having an extended conversation with our good friend, Omar Isuf. Omar is a successful YouTube content creator, a partner with Silent Mike and Bart Kwan on Kizen Training, as well has pursuing other business ventures. He's also a keen observer of media. We talked about a variety of topics, but one central theme was effective storytelling in popular culture: Can’t anybody make a movie that’s not about a superhero anymore? Why do some stories resonate more than others? How does a good story cause you to suspend disbelief? Does the kind of story you enjoy reflect how you think about yourself? Here’s a link to the Star Wars line that Mark Hamill refused to say.  (Yes, we discussed Avengers: End Game and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.) In our next episode, we get down to business and tackle the question “Is it too late to get a huge following on YouTube and social media?” You can find Omar on his hugely successful YouTube channel. And on Instagram as @omarisuf. Check out his new podcast, Iron Culture, with Eric Helms.    Hosted by Mike Farr (@silentmikke) and Jim McDonald (@thejimmcd).

Iron Culture was started by Eric Helms and Omar Isuf as a means of exploring the world of physical culture and attempting to distill a unified philosophy of lifting and to help listeners find greater meaning from the iron. The lifting community has become fractured over the last ~70 years and this Podcast will attempt to explore the fundamental threads that unite these different tribes.  The Podcast focuses on dispensing practical, useful information to the listener, bouncing from history, to philosophy, to contemporary lifting culture issues, to science. This can range from teaching the audience about lifting, programming, nutrition, supplements/PEDs and the history of lifting culture. The format includes casual conversations between the two hosts on a variety of topics, discussions with a panel of experts and interviews with authoritative figures in the lifting community.
