The foremost health authority, the contrarian, and voice of reason is spouting this level of misinformation, so I think it deserves the acronym: A-Y-F-K-M. Dr. Layne Norton, internet health influencer and self-titled Truth Seeker and debunker, has delivered the single worst piece of fitness advice imaginable. There is no more potentially destructive message to convey besides telling people to push through fatigue, crappy workouts, and poor movement patterns. So inspired by the Debunker himself, I'm going after you. Layne Norton has a PhD in nutritional sciences, a background as a champion powerlifter and bodybuilder, and is known for debunking fitness misinformation and pseudoscience. But recently, he posted one of his many deadlift clips with the message that training is like investing in the stock market. He even detailed a week of “moving crappy,” “moving really crappy,” and being “happy” about grinding it out anyway. Here’s what you will learn from this episode: Why pushing through fatigue and poor form is a recipe for injury, burnout, and attrition The flaws with the dated no pain, no gain mentality that simply won’t die Exercise physiology insights: ATP, lactate, glycolysis, and aerobic energy systems Why the anaerobic system requires extensive rest and recovery, not grinding through bad workouts Technical failure versus pushing to failure, and why form matters most Interesting science-based insights on the power of performing theatrics before a peak performance effort and why lighter weight and excellent form are the real win Deadlifting dangers, proper technique, and why novices should get expert guidance Finally, you will hear about what you should do when experiencing symptoms of suboptimal recovery and the value of applying an intuitive approach—especially when it comes to times that you “just don’t feel like it” and what that feeling can signify (hint: it has to do with your emotions and your central nervous system). TIMESTAMPS: Dr. Layne Nortron is known for debunking some of the science that is out there telling us what is good to eat. [01:03] Brad confronts one of Layne's posts about training and recovery. Layne treats training like investing. [04:39] Elites manage their energy very carefully every single day, week, month of training. [10:02] ATP, the source for immediate explosive efforts lasting from zero to seven seconds, becomes completely exhausted after seven seconds [14:33] Working through crappy form and feeling horrible during your warmup is in direct opposition to how the anaerobic system develops. [20:59] Doug McGuff has come up with the Big Five Workout strategy, which you do only once a week that keeps you strong. [31:47] If you attempt to work through crappy form and low scores on the readiness-to-train scale, you are training the central nervous system to fire less explosively and teaching your brain to be able to left ledds weight. [35:38] Pavel Tsatsouline explains why he doesn't see the point of training to muscular failure. [38:37] Six sets of three is the same as three sets of six, but you get less tired. [40:45] Brad critiques Layne's analogy of exercising is like the stock market. [43:56] Performing theatrics before a peak performance effort actually does help prime the centtral nervous system for peak performance. [45:41] You want to preserve a straight and elongated spine with eveything you do in the gym. [50:06] Deadlifting is a random exercise and potentially dangerous. If you're novice, get that trusted expert for one-on-one instruction before you even try. [58:19] Beware of internet blather from influencers. [01:01:21] Always take what your body gives you each day and nothing more. [01:02:06] LINKS: Brad Kearns.com BradNutrition.com B.rad Whey Protein Superfuel - The Best Protein on The Planet!

Nicole Bradley joined the Australian Army at 20 and served for 22 years. And admits she ‘lost' herself in the process.However after leaving the Army, and at the age of 42, Nicole discovered the sport of powerlifting - and life hasn't been the same since.Nicole progressed quickly and set her 1st Australian Masters Record for the bench press (she now has 3 records) in her first competition!Injuries acquired during her service in the Army meant Nicole was eligible to compete (and was selected) to represent Australia at the Warrior Games in the United States and in the 2018 Invictus Games held in Sydney.And the honour didn't stop there; much to her surprise, Nicole was appointed the co-captain of the 2018 Australian Invictus Games team! In this conversation, Nicole and I discuss:- why children need to see adults participating in sport,- why she turned down the first invitation she received to attend an Invictus Games training and selection camp,- the challenge associated with shifting identity from ‘Army Officer' to ‘civilian',- what prompted her to take up powerlifting at 42,- how the application process for the Invictus Games caused her to doubt whether her service was significant enough, her injuries were “bad enough” or if she was the right ‘fit' for the team,- the lack of appreciation for non-visible injuries,- the importance of being happy with doing your best on the day, even if it's not your best performance of all time.

In this episode, we dive deep with James (Jared) Maynard—a physiotherapist, strength coach, and competitive powerlifter—who not long ago faced a life-threatening health crisis. What began as a simple head cold spiraled quickly into organ failure, a rare autoimmune condition called HLH, and five weeks on life support. James takes us through the harrowing journey of fighting for his life, grappling with the loss of his physical strength, and rebuilding himself from the ground up—both physically and mentally. Through candid conversations, he and Chris explore the daunting challenges of identity shifts, the importance of resilience, and the power of community support during times of crisis. James also opens up about how this experience reshaped his values, his priorities, and his approach to coaching others through their darkest moments. Whether you're an athlete, a coach, or someone facing a difficult path, this episode is a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the transformative potential of strength—inside and out. Join us as we explore what it truly means to be resilient, and how, sometimes, losing everything can lead to a life of even greater purpose. Key Takeaways: Resilience Is Built Before It's Needed: Jared credits years of training for literally saving his life—his physical and mental strength gave him a fighting chance. Cultivating strength, he says, is the best kind of life insurance. Redefining Identity: When everything you've built is stripped away, you're forced to confront the core of who you are. Jared opens up about the grief of losing his physical capabilities and the deep self-reflection it prompted. He urges us all to diversify our identities beyond just what we do. The Game of Inches: Recovery started not with personal records, but with celebrating the tiniest steps—holding a phone, standing for 30 seconds, building back from two-and-a-half pound plates. The real battle is finding the discipline and optimism to keep going when the wins feel minuscule. The Power of Support: Sometimes, being tough isn't about “doing it all.” Jared shares how leaning on his family, mentors, and broader community was critical—not just physically, but emotionally. Saying Yes to What Matters: Jared's brush with mortality is a powerful reminder to focus on what truly matters—his family, his mission, and savoring the small moments.
