Today's episode features a big milestone in Greg's Road to the Stage update, followed by a Research Review that's sure to stir up some controversy and debate. Researchers recently reported that a little bit of resistance training is associated with lower risk of chronic disease and mortality, but doing more than 2-2.5 hours per day appeared to be considerably worse than doing only 30-60 minutes per day, and potentially worse than doing none at all. In this Research Review, Greg gets to the bottom of it and provides some tentative but practical conclusions. After that, Greg and Eric answer a few questions from listeners, covering topics including potential sleep disruption from pre-bed meals, cannabis for lifters, creatine timing, what to do when you've met your daily protein target but you're below your total calorie target, the way overhead press strength scales with body weight, consequences of insufficient protein intake, how volume for one muscle influences hypertrophy for other muscles, and the role of debates in evidence-based fitness. To close out the show, Eric presents his second (but very disappointing) installment of the fan-favorite segment, “Eric's Seder Stories.” SUPPORT THE PODCASTReceive our Research Spotlight newsletter, and check out our Facebook group and subreddit.MacroFactorIf you want to learn more about our MacroFactor diet app, check it out here.To join in on the MacroFactor conversation, check out our Facebook group and subreddit.MASS Research ReviewGet a free 130-page issue of MASS Research Review.

On this episode, we chat with the man himself, Dr. Peter Fitschen. He will tell us all about how to stay fit and fabulous, and if we want, even stepping on stage and competing. The biggest part of the show will be dealing with the still present underfeeding and underdieting of the competitors. There is still a problem in this sport as Des and I have learned firsthand. We will address this until it has been weeded out of our industry. Anyone competing should have the best chance and the best health while doing so. Stay tuned and learn how to go about it correctly!
