Key performance indicators are fundamental to a successful practice. But what about their dark side? Kiera shares how to know whether those metrics are telling you the right information or not, including what a false sense of KPI security can look like, common mistakes when reviewing those numbers, and how to keep your greater vision in tune with the indicators. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: Kiera (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners, this is Kiera, and today's topic makes me giggle. because I feel like I'm such like hot to trot on KPIs, and I talk about them all the time. And this is gonna be like the other side of the coin of KPIs. And are your KPIs actually lying to you? Dun dun dun, like are those metrics actually not telling you what you want to know on it, like makes me giggle. And I loved because we've been podcasting for golly, so many years. I mean, I think about the conversations we've had together, the   tactical tips, the leadership growth, the confidence in becoming a CEO and running your business. And if you're not there, great. Come join us. Like let's take the easy route. You don't have to listen to all thousand plus episodes. you can take the like hit that easy button. My last name used to be Staples. So hit that easy button and come join us. But I felt like today would be a fun twist for myself as a podcaster and a podcast host of let's talk about like when do your KPIs actually lie to you because you can have some sexy numbers but still not be making money. And you'll be like, well what is going on?   Right? Your CP is like, you're doing great. And you're like, but I feel broke. your trainer at the gym is like, you're doing great. And you're I don't have the six pack. I feel like KPIs can be lying to you. And so I think it's a like, let's make sure that our numbers are telling us the entire story. And let's make sure that if they're healthy, our practice really is healthy and you know how to use your KPIs rather than be used by those KPIs. So number one, I hope you're tracking KPIs. If you don't know what a KPI is, it's a key performance indicator. I call them the vitals of your practice. So let's make sure that our   Our height, our weight, our blood pressure, our heart rate, all those are healthy and that they're tracking correctly. And if not, then like let's figure out how to fix those for your practice. Because they're not like our KPIs aren't a report card. They're KPIs are clues. And our whole consulting team, we have a KPI scorecard, and we all know that that is like the tip of the iceberg. And if one of those numbers is off or if all of them aren't looking right, we need to go and dig and dig and dig to make sure that they're correct. So I want to walk you guys through how something like KPIs can create some false sense of security, which ones to look for.   What are some mistakes that people often have when they do review their numbers? And then what are like maybe a couple of ways for us to make sure that those metrics are actually helping you to make better decisions? So, as you guys know, we're Dental A Team. I'm Kiera Dent. I'm obsessed with all things dentistry and obsessed with you. I want you to have your yes success life. I want you to have everything you want. I want your practice to serve your life. I want you to be profitable and successful. I want you to have structure and systems and stability where you just feel confident to be able to scale to the level that you want. There is no   Check mark and Dental A Team There is no you need to hit this level of practice ownership. It is what is your life? What is your dream? Let's make that a reality. And then let's make sure that you're doing it in the easiest, most efficient, fun way. Our job is to Posivate, impact the world of dentistry in the greatest way possible. And I'm so happy you're here. If I could give you a giant hug, I would. If I could give you a high five and tell you you're doing better than you think you are, I would. So just take those today. Give yourself a squeeze, give yourself a high five. And just remember, as business owners, it can be hard, it can be challenging, but it doesn't need to be.   So let's make sure that we're we're showing up, that we're rising up, and that we're being the best that we can be. And today I really want you to like stop chasing numbers and actually like understand your KPIs and what it's actually telling you. So step number one is gonna be like let's stop looking at KPIs in isolation. So like one KPI does not tell you the whole story. And so like a lot of times we'll say like production's up, we're all celebrating, but our profit's down. You're like, this doesn't make sense. Like we're producing more, but we're not profitable. Like it feels like this like very off-kilter scale.   That's like, well, if production goes up, my profit should go up. But that's not always the case. What about like our new patients are up, but our schedule still isn't full? Like, what is this? Or maybe like collections, they're up, like we're hitting at collections, but our AR is growing and our bank accounts not getting better. Like, why? Like that number is healthy with air quotes. So what we've got to look for is like, what is the relationship between the numbers and what's the driving result of the KPI and using the KPI as a system, not just an isolated piece. So   When we look at this, we want to make sure that like while production could be high, let's make sure our payroll and our overhead's actually where it needs to be. Because sometimes our production can go up and our payroll goes up. So we're hoping that production and profit go hand in hand, but sometimes they don't. So we need to figure out like numbers don't lie, but they can mislead us. So I don't want you sitting there like, well, my production's great. That could be false. Our profit could be high. That could be false. We need to be looking at the whole story, the entire, like it's.   you know, I can have good blood pressure, but what if my heart's not doing as well? Or what if my, I don't know, my I don't know all the medical terms, but there's other things like what if my cholesterol's not doing well, but that would never show up if you're looking at my heart rate. So there's just different ways and I think it's the same thing. So when we look at the vitals, this is why we get labs that are comprehensive on us. That's why we look at multi data points of our bodies. It's the same thing with your practice. So let's make sure that it's like KPIs are clues, but they're not a conclusion. And you gotta know the whole   the whole picture of this. So what I would do is like when we look at it, production should be tied. Like I usually look like my my first step is going to be looking at your production collection, making sure those are sitting at like a 98% ratio of each other. I'm looking at your like and I want net production, not gross production. Then I'm gonna be looking at the profitability of your practice because those ones are going to tell me a lot, just production collection and profitability. Those ones are going to tell me a lot. And if one of those is off, then I know can I go dig into this, this or this? Like   If your production's not hitting what we need it to be, fantastic. We need to go dig. We need to look at our case acceptance. We need to look at our hygiene. We need to look at our period. Like those things are gonna help us. I'm gonna look at your block scheduling, but that's gonna dip. Now, if our collections, they could be high, but we need to make sure like again, if our profitability is not there, collections could be high, but what's our AR? Ped practices have like two to five million sitting in AR and they didn't even know that. Well, that would make sense when you're like, well gosh, I feel broke.   You could be having 105% collections, but you're broke because we didn't collect that money last year or months prior. So again, they don't they need to go hand in hand, which then ties into like step two, which is going to be focus on the leading indicators, not the lagging ones or results. And this I think is really tricky with KPIs because a lot of our KPIs are lagging indicators, like production, collections, profitability, where the leading indicators, and I always hated lag and lead. I like, these people are so dumb. I don't understand it. Like, ugh, like.   But they do like what leads into production? Well, that's gonna be unscheduled treatment. That's gonna be our case acceptance, that's gonna be our hygiene reappointment percentage, that's gonna be how full our schedule is, that's gonna look at our new patient conversion, it's gonna look at our block scheduling. Those are gonna be leading indicators. So we could be tracking how many unscheduled treatment calls did we make. We could be tracking what our case acceptance is to see are we closing enough cases? We should be looking at our hygiene reappointment rate that's gonna help me see if my hygiene schedule is full.   We're gonna look to see how filled out our schedule is at certain points in the month to see are we filling enough? Are we diagnosing enough? We can also be looking at our diagnosis percentage and see how much we're actually diagnosing. All those things are gonna drive you to where you actually can see, is my practice healthy? Is my practice not healthy? So when we do these items together, they're going to give you visible warning signs before you hit a plummet. So if you're just looking at production, collection, profit, which are the main ones I go after, because like, hey, if those are there, they're usually pretty good.   But what leads to it. And sometimes what can happen is collections can dip automatically very quickly and be like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Or production can drop really quickly. If you're not looking at case acceptance, unscheduled treatment, reappointment percentages, those quick items, you can get into hot water real fast because we could be like production, production, production, and then all of a sudden we have a September. Okay, well, why do we have a September? Please. And everyone's like, it's because kids go to school. And I'm like, is there a way though that even with kids going to school and this and that, if we knew that?   If we strategically scheduled and we called all of our unscheduled treatment, because not everybody is going back to school, you still have elderly people that are not in that population. So what if in August we started targeting elderly populations that do not have kids at school? We're not targeting those younger families and we're making sure that they're in there, that they've got deposits paid for their treatment. We're calling on scheduled treatment starting in July. And August, we're calling our recare and we're making like 50 outbound calls a day. That's going to help proactively prevent this.   Those are leading measures that don't hit us on the lag when our productions all of a sudden suck Tember. Can we look for this? Can we look cyclically across the board of which are my lower months? Can we schedule vacations during that time if we know they're historically lower? Can we proactively put like ortho cases? Let's do an Invisalign day where we actually pump our September. So we're always doing ortho and September like back to school braces or those types of things. Like, could you start doing some of those things? Those are leading indicators that make it to where.   Before the production drops, we are proactively looking ahead. So I love to have KPIs that are leading and lagging, but the best KPIs are going to predict the future, not explain the past. So when I get my PL from ICPA, that's why you're all annoyed because you're like they said I did great, but now I feel broke. Well, it's because they're always looking one month retroactively and you're living in real time today. Your bank account doesn't match. Like you did great. And you're like, yeah, but I already spent it. It's because your PL is such a lagging measure.   You get it, but there's nothing. So what's our leading? What could we be doing? What do we look at? Let's look ahead. Let's see how far booked out we are. Let's see our new patient conversion rate. Let's see how many case acceptance we have. Let's look at how many patients are on our unscheduled treatment list. Let's look at our recare list. Now, if those are up to date and current, then we know we need to be pumping more new patients in there. But if we're not watching those leading measures, which those are the annoying ones to track, those are the annoying ones. People don't want to live in leading measures. Nobody out there wants to be like, okay, care, I made my like 25 calls of unscheduled treatment today.   Team members are like, I'm so busy answering the phone and just keeping the schedule full. But what they don't realize is if you make those outbound calls every single day, every day, non-negotiable, just like we brush our teeth, have that as part of it, those leading measures. If we are reviewing our cases every single week to see how we did so we can proactively improve our case acceptance every single week, we are proactively doing those things and we just stick them in on routine, you're not gonna have the dips nearly as often as you currently do. We tend to live in firefighting reactive KPIs.   rather than in proactive looking to see what we can do. For us it was always like, okay, how many, how many calls have we booked? That is such a lagging measure versus how many outbounds did we make? We can control the outbounds, but yet so many people don't want to do that. So I'd recommend absolutely 100% step two is let's make sure we're also tracking leading measures, not just lagging measures. And then the other piece is like don't just chase a metric where we're ignoring like   what actually is happening. Like why are we even looking at this metric? So if we're only looking at production, well then we can have like stress and we forget about patient experience and all that. So again, numbers are should be like like I feel like they're the table of contents of the book. And we don't miss the book because we read the table of contents. It gives us the quick highlight. But ultimately production's impacted by great patient experience. It's going to be impacted by   having great case acceptance. It's gonna be having that warm connection with each other. And so when we look at these KPIs, and this is where a lot of times KPIs like they should drive behavior. Like they should tell us where we're lacking, where we're dropping the ball, where we could improve. They should be telling us what behavior should change in the practice. That's why we look at them as a key performance indicator. It's like the lights that pop up and they tell us like, hey, we're going too fast or we're going too slow. Like great, it should be telling us how we're tracking on those.   But it shouldn't be replacing stress. And like that's the only thing we care about. we don't want to have it to where we're like so many times people are like, well, we could get more patients in if we just cut hygiene and we've dropped it to 45 minutes. And I'm like, you're not wrong. But like, what's our ultimate goal? Like, what are we ultimately trying to achieve? And is there a space where if we kept 60 minute hygiene appointments, could we maybe possibly serve our patients more? So let's do a focus of we're all gonna hit our fluoride.   We're gonna do fluoride, that's a great thing. Then we're gonna move it into fluoride therapy where we do fluoride and toothpaste. Then we're gonna make sure that we're doing scans in the next six months. Like I do them in six month chunks for hygiene. I know like we can't like dump everything on the hygienist. They gotta have like a few things. If we know September's coming, let's start doing scans in Q2 so that way we have all of our orthoscans already pre-done for three months before we even get to that level where we start to have it where it's gonna drop on us.   That's where we become obsessed with making sure we focus on the patients and we use our KPIs. To me, they're like a forecast and a projections if you use them correctly. They can also be a like nail in the coffin and you're like, well, shoot, our production's down, our collections are down, we got to fix that. So it's how can I look retroactively and see what do we do? How can I use leading measures to proactively make sure that we don't get into that? But then put those two together and ultimately tie those under the vision and the goal and make sure that they're driving us towards that.   That's what it should be. The top of everything, the umbrella over all those. Like if you want to think of an umbrella and your KPIs are like the the spokes that hold the umbrella, the the core umbrella over the top is what's our vision and what's the purpose of our practice? and if your KPIs like if you're just production, production, production, that's not who you ultimately want to be. Like if we're just profit, profit, profit, like yeah, you should be. But ultimately, like, yeah, I'm gonna say like profit's number one. To me, we have a rule.   We don't lose money. That's been my rule. That's been my standard since I started the company. And I stand by that because cash flow is the most scary thing as a business owner, in my opinion. so profit is number one for me, and I will always make decisions based on that. but profit in conjunction with possibly impacting the world, the dentistry in the greatest way possible. Pro profitability in conjunction with having a place where team members love to work. You can have both. It can be an and it doesn't need to be an or.   You can have both of those. You can be obsessed with a patient experience and production. You can be obsessed with having the best patient experience and having a very profitable business. Both of those coexist. And so using your numbers as a compass, using them as a guide, and making sure that we're we're headed towards the ultimate destination of our our vision and our mission, which is why it doesn't only we do business fundamentals. We're going to work with you on getting your vision and your mission and your core values like.   What ultimately is your goal as a business owner? What do you want your life to be? That's the ultimate goal. Jump more freedom. And guess what? It's written in pencil. You can erase it, you can redraw it any day you want. It doesn't have to be set in stone and like we we chiseled that sucker out. No, this is a like, it's in pencil. So what does I what do I want my life to look like today? Because when we achieve it, we might want it to look differently. Or as we're walking up that mountain, we might say,   You know, I really thought that I only want to work three days, but I love dentistry and I want to work four days. I just want to do this type of procedure. Or I love to be in the practice, but I want to do two days clinical and I want to do two days of mentorship. That is totally allowed. Your business should just serve that. Your business should be the one that's there. So that's the ultimate arching is your KPIs then should be like the guiding pillars to that in leading and lagging measures. So this is where your KPIs, KPI numbers don't lie.   But isolated numbers can definitely give false positives and false negatives if they're not seen altogether. So, like just a quick recap is don't look at your KPIs in just isolation. Make sure that we're tracking leading and lagging indicators. And then make sure that ultimately all of those are headed towards our greater vision of where we ultimately want to go. That's how we use KPIs. That's how we use numbers too, to make sure that we're actually headed in the direction we want to go.   And you are welcome to have one of those in isolation. You're welcome to have KPIs that just sit on their own. You're welcome to have where we only are tracking lagging measures. You're welcome to have like we only think about our vision and our mission, and that's what we care about, and everything will follow. I will say you're welcome to do that. I would say an easier path that helps you have all the data and the best data points is going to be where you put all three of those together, where you're able to look at them simultaneously, use them as data points to ultimately make your best decisions because KPIs are incredibly powerful.   But only if they're used correctly, even if they're used to be tools, not like like goals or stars to guide by, not sticks to beat ourselves with. I don't care. Like we're just we're like, I don't believe in failures. I just believe that there are results. So are we getting the result we're looking for or not? And if not, let's change and adjust. if we're constantly missing production, what are maybe a couple leading measures that we could do? Also having too many KPIs, you get lost in data and you can't actually see what you need to do. So simplifying it, having less is more.   making sure we're actually tracking outcomes rather than activity. Like what I usually say like reduce unscheduled treatment by 10% every single month. So I don't care how many calls you make. Yes, I know I said like make 25 calls. You can do task or you can do outcome. I prefer outcome based, but you might just be starting out and can't figure out that outcome. So like let's start with 25 calls a day. It's easy, all of us can do it. We can track it. Ultimately the goal is that our schedule is always full and we're putting enough outbound calls to make sure that when patients are canceling, which is gonna happen, they're gonna move their appointments.   that we're always able to get our schedule up to what we want it to be and we're not stressed, we're not going chaotic. So if you feel like you listen to this, you're like, you're I don't even know where to start, or like we're kind of doing this, we're halfway doing it, or I'm looking at this, but I don't know how to get my team bought into it. This is what we do. This is how we're able to help you. We're able to help you put it all together. Let's build your vision, let's build that mission, let's figure out where we're headed with no guilt, no judgment, just your life. Like, hey, grab the crayons, grab the confetti, like let's make what you want this life to be.   Then let's figure out which KPIs are going to lead us to that. Let's figure out which leading measures we need to help your team get on board with and why. Get them bought into the vision and the mission. And then we're able to help maintain and contain that consistency for you. So this is the zone. You usually don't need like a lot more reports. We just need clarity to cut through and to look at the things that really matter and put them together so we're not doing them in isolation. So you're not getting hit with those surprises, but actually being able to be proactive on that. So this is where I'm obsessed with helping offices have their dream life, look at the numbers.   use the numbers, not be used by the numbers and to get a team bought into it at whatever level you want. There is no set path. There is no set, every team has to do this. It's what's your vision, what's your life? How do we make sure that you're profitable and successful? And then how do we build the systems, the structure for scalability for you of whatever that looks like for you. So reach out. I'd love to help you out. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com.

Five and a half months of prep and three shows later — I feel like a new human being. In episode 306 of The Drop Set I’m giving you a quick recap of the Alabama Open, where I won my Classic Physique Masters 40+ class and finished in the top half across all five classes. The full competitive season breakdown is coming next week. This episode turned into an entirely Q&A format, which I didn’t see coming, and honestly it’s some of the best content I’ve recorded in a while. I’m answering a question about PED safety — specifically what actually kills bodybuilders, what labs and cardiac testing you should be doing, and why diuretics and insulin are the acute risks most people underestimate. Then a deep dive on PED misconceptions that natural lifters have — what gear actually does and doesn’t do for muscle building, fat loss, recovery, and training intensity. A question on longer versus shorter off-season phases with mini cuts versus uninterrupted growth, and how to decide which approach fits your goals and personality. Nicholas from Jersey asks two great ones — when is the right time to compete versus waiting to accumulate more size, and at what point do I tell a client their prep isn’t going to be ready for the show date. Finally, a terminology breakdown on what spilling over, going flat, and being full actually mean physiologically and how to identify where you are.

We weren't intending to have so many controversial stories this week, but here we are with some spicy topics on our hands. The main discussion was new research on Ethiopian athlete training, described as an “AI-assisted” study. The findings are cool, and we discuss those training points. But looking at the bigger picture, we have major fears about the use of AI writing across exercise physiology literature. The future is going to be weird and sloppy.We also talked about the $500 Adidas trail shoe. David thinks it's a big “screw you” to trail runners. Megan is also concerned, but thinks he needs to chill. You know, the usual. And there were tons of topics with varying levels of spice! Other topics: UTMB scores, Megan's popsicle form, Edmonton Marathon's mis-measurement, Kilian and Jim out of UTMB, age group doping, the blueberry recall, our problems with hog watch, Mike Macdonald's coaching prowess through vulnerability, the Lost Soul Ultra, emails from PED companies, zone compression for speed-oriented athletes, and lots more!As always, remember that many of the points we make are wrong, and if so, it was a joke. But if you agree with it, we were serious.We love you all!

As fitness racing and hybrid fitness explode worldwide, so does the conversation around performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs). This week, sports science researcher Matt Carpenter (@mattendurancescientist) joins us for an evidence-backed look into the reality of doping in amateur sports. Matt breaks down the psychological drivers pushing amateur athletes to seek a chemical edge, along with what current research reveals about PED prevalence across various amateur sports. While there are no direct studies on PED usage in fitness racing to date, we explore how data from adjacent sports can help us gauge the likelihood of hybrid athletes seeking a synthetic advantage. We consider some of the compounds often used in sports. From steroids to peptides and from GLP-1s to EPO Matt helps us understand their use. We also consider the growing debate around TRT and ponder if there is any solution that upholds integrity in sport. Finally, Matt unpacks the real-world logistics of drug testing, biological health risks, and what steps Race Directors can consider to try to ensure that their races are clean.

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== LECCIÓN DE ESCUELA SABÁTICA         III TRIMESTRE DEL 2026Narrado por: Eddie RodriguezDesde: Guatemala, GuatemalaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchMIÉRCOLES 12 DE AGOSTOUN RETRATO DE JESÚS Al leer 1 Corintios 13:4-7, podemos sentirnos frustrados de que, en mayor o menor medida, no logramos mostrar todas esas características del amor. Es probable que Pablo tuviera en mente a la persona de Jesús cuando escribió ese capítulo. De hecho, solo Cristo reveló perfectamente todos esos rasgos distintivos del amor. Por lo tanto, la descripción que Pablo hace del amor es, en última instancia, un retrato de Jesús. Lee Juan 13:1, 34; 15:9, 12; 1 Timoteo 1:14; 2 Timoteo 1:7, 13; 1 Juan 3:16; 4:7-12, 19-21. ¿Qué enseñan estos pasajes acerca del amor? Dios es amor (1 Juan 4:8). Él nos ama tanto que dio a su Hijo único para nuestra salvación (Juan 3:16). Jesús es la expresión plena de ese amor (Heb. 1:3). Si deseamos saber cómo se expresa el amor, debemos observar detenidamente a Jesús. Si prestamos cuidadosa atención a la descripción que el Nuevo Testamento hace de él, notaremos que posee todas las características positivas del amor mencionadas en 1 Corintios 13. Jesús es paciente. «Dios fue misericordioso conmigo, a fin de que en mí, el peor de los pecadores, pudiera Cristo Jesús mostrar su infinita bondad [macrothymia]» (1 Tim. 1:16, NVI). Jesús es bondadoso. La Biblia dice que «el Señor es bueno» (1 Ped. 2:3). La palabra «Señor» en este pasaje se refiere a Jesús. El término «bondadoso», o «bueno», es traducción de la palabra griega jrēstos, que proviene de la misma raíz que el verbo jrēsteuomai («mostrar bondad») en 1 Corintios 13:4. Jesús se regocija en la verdad. Él experimentó alegría al hacer la voluntad del Padre y disfrutar de su amor (Juan 15:9–11; 17:12–14). Jesús soporta todas las cosas. Hebreos 12:2, 3 dice que Jesús «soportó la cruz» (NVI) y «soportó tal hostilidad de los pecadores contra sí mismo» (LBLA). Nadie ha soportado tanto como Jesús (Fil. 2:8). ¡Lo hizo «en vista del gozo que le esperaba» (Heb. 12:2)! Jesús lo cree todo. Cuando Ananías cuestionó la autenticidad de la conversión de Pablo (Hech. 9:13, 14), Jesús respondió: «Este hombre es un instrumento elegido por mí» (Hech. 9:15). Jesús ve a las personas no como son, sino como llegarán a ser en virtud del poder divino. ¿De qué otras maneras nos revela Jesús en qué consiste el verdadero amor? 

Peak Week PEDs explained: what actually matters before stepping on stage. Too many bodybuilders make last-minute drug changes hoping for a harder look, but those decisions often make physiques worse. In this episode, we break down which peak week PED strategies are worth considering, which ones are based on bodybuilding myths, and why testing and individualization consistently outperform cookie-cutter protocols. If you want more episodes like this — where we translate research into practical coaching decisions — subscribe and follow along each week.

Trevor Giampa doesn't call himself the best hybrid athlete — he says there's no such competition. He just refuses to accept the idea that chasing a goal in the gym has to cost him a goal on the course.In this episode of The Running Effect Podcast, Dominic sits down with Trevor to unpack six years of all-out hybrid training and the results that have people convinced he must be cheating: a 2:28 Boston Marathon and a 315-pound bench in the same week, treadmill marathons followed by 15+ reps at 225, and 100-mile weeks paired with powerlifter-style strength work.Trevor makes the case that "hybrid athlete = mediocre at both" is a myth, that antagonistic goals aren't really antagonistic if you build for them, and that your genetics improve the harder and longer you work. He's done it all as a natural athlete who has never had a sip of coffee, a drink of alcohol, or a single PED — and he explains why the constant doping accusations only fuel his mission to show people what a natural body is capable of.They also get into his diet (max protein, max carbs, ground beef and rice, venison, kiwis for vitamin C), his recovery philosophy (build a bigger capacity, skip the gadgets), his gym split, the caffeine debate, his move into ultras, and how his Catholic faith became the center of his content and his goals. 00:00 — Welcome & the late-night recording sacrifice00:36 — How Trevor defines a "hybrid athlete"01:05 — Real hybrid athlete vs. chasing social media clout02:11 — Nick Bear, the BPN community, and breaking the "mediocre at both" stereotype04:28 — His most impressive feat: 2:28 Boston Marathon + 315 bench in the same week05:13 — What's harder, running or lifting?

To survive the brutal reality of elite-level strength, you might have to destroy the very person you spent a lifetime building. Ben Pollack earned a PhD in physical culture history while systematically destroying his own body, ignoring years of excruciating warnings for the sake of world records and plastic trophies. But when a sudden, terrifying neurological shutdown left half his body completely unresponsive overnight, he was forced to abandon the self-destructive addiction to pure suffering and learn what true strength is actually for. INSIDE THIS CONVERSATION The Paralyzing Price of Progress: How chronic tension and "clenching" led to a sudden neurological collapse that left Ben unable to flex his own lat. The Trap of Extreme Weight Cuts: The brutal reality of starving down to 181 pounds, and why the physical toll of dehydration is more dangerous than any PED. Forced Identity Death: Why the most critical step in recovering from a career-ending injury is literally becoming a different human being. The Illusion of More: How chasing a 600-pound deadlift proved that achieving your ultimate physical goals won't fix who you are on the inside. Redefining Effort: Why your accessory work is wasting energy, and how to train with high frequency without accumulating crippling global fatigue. MEET THE GUEST Ben Pollack is a physical culture scholar, former world-record powerlifter, and IFBB Pro bodybuilder who has spent his life bridging the gap between academic theory and under-the-bar reality. After reaching the peak of both strength and physique sports, Ben faced a near-fatal neurological reckoning that forced him to dismantle his philosophy. Today, he coaches athletes not just to build elite strength, but to survive it.

#419The problem with social media fitness is it's a bunch of lies. Most guys are selling you on how to get their body when they are on PED'S, which I don't discriminate on. It's when you tell them you are natural and they can achieve that body is ridiculous. Plus the crazy strength standards they're telling you are behind on is all nonsense.

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== LECCIÓN DE ESCUELA SABÁTICA         II TRIMESTRE DEL 2026Narrado por: Eddie RodriguezDesde: Guatemala, GuatemalaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchDOMINGO 21 DE JUNIOVIVIENDO HOYCuando miramos a nuestro alrededor, vemos que el mundo se agita y gime, y que las señales de las que Jesús nos habló se están cumpliendo ante nuestros ojos. Guerras y rumores de guerras, naciones que se levantan contra otras, hambres, pestilencias, terremotos y persecuciones (Mat. 24:6-11) están sucediendo a nuestro alrededor y parece que se intensifican a medida que el tiempo transcurre. Ciertamente vivimos tiempos difíciles, en los que necesitamos una relación sólida con Dios. Se nos dice: “El fin de todas las cosas se acerca. Sean, pues, sensatos y sobrios, y velen en oración” (1 Ped. 4:7). Ahora es el momento de fortalecer nuestra relación con Dios, pues, independientemente de cuánto tiempo quede, nuestra vida es breve. “Oigan ahora ustedes que dicen: ‘Hoy y mañana iremos a tal ciudad. Estaremos allá un año, y negociaremos y ganaremos', y no saben lo que sucederá mañana. Porque, ¿qué es su vida? Apenas un vapor que aparece por poco tiempo y pronto se desvanece” (Sant. 4:13, 14). Sabemos cuán cierta es esa advertencia. Tú o yo podríamos no estar vivos antes de que termine el día. Esto forma parte de la triste realidad de vivir en un mundo caído. ¡Cuán crucial es, entonces, asegurarnos de tener una relación correcta con Dios y vivir siempre conscientes de nuestra necesidad de él y de su gracia salvadora! El Salmo 80 ofrece una hermosa súplica a Dios. Léelo y considera particularmente los versículos 1 al 3, 14 al 17, 18 y 19, y aplica a ti lo que se dice allí acerca del pueblo de Dios. Independientemente de cuán diferentes hayan sido el momento histórico, el lugar y el contexto de este salmo, ¿de qué manera puedes sentirte identificado con su contenido? Todos necesitamos un reavivamiento espiritual. Es muy fácil caer en la complacencia o incluso olvidar lo que Dios ha hecho y está haciendo por nosotros. ¿Qué creyente fiel, aunque tenga luchas, no podría elevar una plegaria como la siguiente?: “¡Haz resplandecer tu rostro, y seremos salvos!” (Sal. 80:19)? Cuando aceptas lo que Jesús ha hecho por ti, cuando sabes que tus pecados han sido perdonados y que estás cubierto por su perfecta justicia, acreditada a ti por la fe, puedes estar seguro de que eres salvo en él. ¿Qué significa que Dios haga “resplandecer” su rostro sobre ti, especialmente en el contexto de que solo su justicia te salva?

Dios llama a cada creyente a colaborar con él en esta obra y promete darnos “lengua de sabios para saber hablar palabra de aliento al cansado” (Isa. 50:4). También es deber del cristiano estar siempre preparado para dar razón de la fe y la esperanza que hay en él (1 Ped. 3:15). Lee 1 Pedro 3:8 al 15. ¿Qué nos dice la Palabra de Dios en estos versículos? He aquí algunos consejos sencillos para tener en cuenta a la hora de compartir a Jesús con las personas: • Desarrolla una amistad con las personas. Tu calidez, amabilidad y genuino interés en ellas las ayudará a acercarse a Dios. Algunos llaman a esto “evangelismo de la amistad”.• Ora para que el Espíritu Santo obre en el corazón de esas personas. Pide a Dios que cree oportunidades adecuadas para interactuar con ellas.• Busca maneras naturales de hablar de tus propias experiencias de fe o de ofrecer una oración por esas personas. Pide a Dios que te dé audacia, pero también delicadeza en tu acercamiento.• Busca formas de poner en contacto a tu nuevo amigo con otras personas de tu iglesia para que pueda experimentar la aceptación de la comunidad eclesial. Un estudio bíblico en un grupo pequeño es un buen paso.• Ora acerca de las necesidades o preguntas específicas que pueda tener tu nuevo amigo y busca una oportunidad para mostrarle cómo la Biblia ofrece consuelo, consejo y orientación para nuestra vida. Al principio, puedes limitarte a compartir una promesa bíblica o a responder alguna pregunta, lo que abrirá la puerta a diálogos más profundos. Ora también para que eso ocurra.• Llegará un momento en que querrás preguntar a tu amigo si le gustaría dar el siguiente paso: estudiar la Biblia y finalmente ser bautizado. No te precipites, pero tampoco te retrases. Ora al respecto.• Nuestras acciones deben revelar quiénes somos. La manera en que tratamos a otros habla mucho. A medida que nuestro carácter es modelado a semejanza del de Dios (santificación), viviremos para atraer a las personas a él.

Hour 2 opens with continued discussion around the Brendan Sorsby situation and what it says about the state of college football enforcement, followed by broader Dolphins talk as the guys set expectations for key players on the roster and where the team stands heading into the season. The conversation shifts to the Marlins, where Otto Lopez and Xavier Edwards continue to carry the offense, and then to the NHL Stanley Cup Final between Carolina and Vegas, which has been one of the most exciting series in recent memory. The guys also react to the star-studded scene at Game 3 of the NBA Finals in New York, including Alex Rodriguez's appearance and a broader discussion about his post-playing business success and public comeback after his PED suspension, contrasted with other athletes who struggled to rebound. The hour wraps with attorney David Weinstein joining the show to break down the Sorsby ruling, the NCAA's lack of enforcement power, and what this means for the future of college sports, along with a quick NFL aside about the Bills' Super Bowl chances.

Curiosamente, las primeras palabras registradas en la Biblia por Juan el Bautista y Jesús fueron similares. Juan dijo: “¡Arrepiéntanse, que el reino de los cielos se ha acercado!” (Mat. 3:1, 2). Jesús dijo: “El tiempo se ha cumplido, el reino de Dios está cerca. ¡Arrepiéntanse, y crean al evangelio!” (Mar. 1:14, 15; ver también Luc. 24:46, 47). Tanto Jesús como Juan llamaron a sus oyentes a arrepentirse porque el Reino de los Cielos estaba cerca. ¿Es ese mensaje relevante para nosotros hoy? Lee Hechos 3:18 y 19. ¿Por qué es tan importante el arrepentimiento en el proceso de crecimiento espiritual? ¿Qué es un tiempo de “refrigerio”, “consuelo” (RVR 95) o “descanso” (NVI)? La bondad de Dios nos lleva al arrepentimiento (Rom. 2:4), que implica dos pasos: (1) el dolor sincero por las faltas cometidas; y (2) la decisión honesta de abandonar el pecado. En la Biblia, el arrepentimiento casi siempre está relacionado con el perdón. Dios nos perdona cuando nos arrepentimos genuinamente. Es así de sencillo (1 Juan 1:9; Apoc. 3:19). “El Señor no demora en cumplir su promesa, como algunos piensan, sino que es paciente con nosotros, porque no quiere que ninguno perezca, sino que todos procedan al arrepentimiento” (2 Ped. 3:9). Mientras nos preparamos personalmente para la Segunda Venida, Dios nos da tiempo para poner nuestras cosas en orden con él. Jesús sufrió, murió y resucitó para que su gracia pueda obrar un milagro en nuestra vida cuando nos arrepentimos. Contrariamente al mundo, que nos dice que no necesitamos hacer ningún cambio en nuestra vida, Dios nos pide que vayamos a él arrepentidos y con fe (Hech. 20:21), y que nos pongamos en sus manos para que él pueda podar y hermosear nuestros caracteres haciéndolos semejantes al suyo a fin de que demos testimonio de él (Juan 15:2, 8). Es así como crecemos y producimos el fruto resultante del arrepentimiento (Mat. 3:8). “No es genuino ningún arrepentimiento que no obre una reforma. La justicia de Cristo no es un manto para cubrir pecados que no han sido confesados ni abandonados; es un principio de vida que transforma el carácter y rige la conducta” (Elena de White, El Deseado de todas las gentes, p. 509). El arrepentimiento conduce a la vida (Hech. 11:18) y es una parte vital del crecimiento en la relación con Dios. ¿Cuál de los tres pasos del proceso divino de desarrollo (sumisión a Dios, arrepentimiento y autorización para ser podado) es el más desafiante para ti?

Pentecostés 1) Atardecer: En el ámbito artístico hay mucho ego, en el político e incluso en el eclesial también. Siempre el de turno dice que hace todo bien y siempre el que está en la contra o en la otra vereda critica y dice cómo debería hacer las cosas el de turno. Siempre intentan ser el centro de atención sin importar los medios para conseguirlo. Critican para estar por encima del prójimo y lo que tienen es mejor que lo que tengan los demás, y hasta pueden llegar a decir “nadie en este mundo está por encima mío”. Por eso, cuando aparece el ego en tu vida o en la mía, por encima de la persona, y de las personas, ya empieza a aparecer el dolor. Por eso debemos pedir al Espíritu Santo que la Iglesia no caiga en el atardecer por el ego de sus miembros. Roguemos por resurgir en una Iglesia viva y humilde, sabiendo que vos y yo somos Iglesia.2) En medio: Un famoso guionista de orquesta dijo que lo más difícil de conseguir es un segundo violín. Porque se puede conseguir infinidad de primeros violines, pero encontrar a alguien que toque el segundo violín con el mismo entusiasmo es un problema, porque todos quieren ser el primer violín. Acordate que para dirigir la orquesta hay que dar la espalda al público. Voltaire decía: “El interés no tiene templos, pero es adorado por muchos devotos”. Cuando alguien piensa diferente a nosotros pueden ocurrir varias cosas: le empezamos a decir que no estamos de acuerdo tratando de que adopte nuestro punto de vista. Hasta usan el yoismo de decir: “Lo que yo haría en tu lugar”. Hay veces que las personas ya no defienden sus ideas, sino su ego. La falta de tolerancia es miedo. Pedí al Espíritu Santo el don de ver a las personas con sus propios términos de vida. Pidamos al Espíritu aprender a ponernos en el lugar del otro. El mundo tiende a cierto individualismo por el síndrome del yo. Miramos hacia los otros, pero no percibimos al otro. Nos interesan los demás cuando se interesan por nosotros. Por eso intentemos ser humildes, que es uno de los frutos del Espíritu.3) Perdonados: La vida no tiene un rebobinado, sino que siempre va para adelante. En la vida, una vez que se hace una movida, no tiene retorno. El tiempo es nuestro único recurso. Todos los momentos de la vida pueden recordarse, celebrarse o lamentarse, pero nunca se pueden recuperar. Algún día la vida se va a terminar. Pedí al Espíritu Santo que te ayude a valorar la vida para ponerle sentido y no tener un vacío de vida. Algo bueno está por venir.

In this episode, I sit down with Madison Finger, also known as @_bigmadz on TikTok, for an honest conversation about the bodybuilding industry and the things people don't always talk about publicly. We dive into some of the problematic takes we constantly see on social media in the fitness space, the pressure that comes with bodybuilding culture, and how misinformation can easily become normalized online.We also open up about our personal experiences working with coaches, lessons we learned the hard way, and how those experiences shaped the way we now view health, physique goals, and the athlete-coach relationship. On top of that, we touch on more taboo topics in bodybuilding, including PED use, the realities behind it, and the conversations that are often avoided in the industry.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting fitness advice online or wanted a more real and unfiltered conversation about bodybuilding, this episode is for you.Follow Madison:TikTok: @_bigmadzFollow me:Instagram: @NicoleFerrierFitnessTikTok: @NicoleFerrierFitnessOnline coaching:
