In the previous episode, we quizzed Mike on the top three lifters in every weight class, regardless of raw or equipped, federation, etc., for squat, bench, and deadlift. In this episode, we cover total records. You can see them for yourself at openpowerlifting.org. Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila) ran the board and chimed in. Do you have a …

10:35

Our Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila) brought us this question: “What’s your opinion of people program or coach hopping?” Sometimes change in necessary, but when and how often?

Fitness tropes that yuck your yum for no good reason 50:29

11d ago50:29

50:29

We all see a lot of repetition among fitness influencers. Even the best, most informed ones fall into the trap of repeating tropes that don’t matter to anyone’s health or fitness. For sure, the content game is tough, and coming up with new topics is an exercise in scarcity. We talk about a few of the ones that bug us the most. We also discussed the…

What’s your “cranky old man” opinion? | One Good Question 11:27

16d ago11:27

11:27

This week’s question arose from a recent conversation Mike had with Omar Isuf: "What's your 'cranky old man' opinion?” Things change over time, and change doesn’t always make us happy. And the older we get, the easier it is to be cranky about it. Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila) ran the board and chimed as well. Do you have a question for o…

IPF sued for Article 14 43:32

18d ago43:32

43:32

The International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) has been the only truly “official” vehicle for powerlifters hoping to compete on an international stage. The federation has written into its constitution rules that are supposed to prevent the taint of members participating in untested competitions hosted by other federations, but now it is being used…

How to be more coachable? | One Good Question 11:53

23d ago11:53

11:53

This week’s question: “What makes someone a good coaching client?” We see conversations online about coaches that are unqualified and really...uninterested in helping their clients. But coaching is really a two-way street. What responsibilities does a client have to make the best of their coaching dollars? Our new trainer at Third Street Barbell, T…

Meteors, generations, and introductions 1:00:57

We sat down with our new trainer at Third Street Barbell, Tiffany Powers (@_tiffdeadlifts), to talk about strange lights in the sky, which generation Is which, and a bit about how she started lifting. Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila) ran the board and chimed in on this one. Do you have a question for one of our Friday “One Good Question” ep…

The lowdown on what we spent to open our gym? | One Good Question 14:13

30d ago14:13

14:13

This week’s question comes from Mike’s Instagram: “ Would you ever be able to talk about overhead and planning from when you opened 3SB (our gym, Third Street Barbell)?” So yeah, we can…and we do! The financial part is definitely not the hardest part, but it’s important for sure. Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila) ran the board and chimed in …

Should powerlifting meets only allow two attempts per lift? | Canada athletes vs Texas athletes 52:04

1M ago52:04

52:04

Prompted by a Reddit question, we talked through the impact of reducing attempts from three attempts per lift to two attempts per lift. Would meets move faster? Would warmup rooms be chaos? We also compared the top 10 Canadian athletes and the top 10 Texan athletes. Can one state beat a whole country? Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila) ran th…

How do you organize yourself when starting a business? | One Good Question 16:04

1M ago16:04

16:04

This week’s question comes from Mike’s Instagram: “How do you organize your thoughts, wants, and plans when you’re building a business.” Everybody has their own personal organizational approaches (with varying degrees of success). We talk about what has worked for us. Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila) ran the board and chimed in on this one.…

Will Instagram changes kill powerlifting memes? 1:05:50

1M ago1:05:50

1:05:50

It looks like changes are afoot. Instagram may be changing how its algorithm serves up shared (versus original) content. Will this entirely change the meme game? We also ran down lists of the most intelligent animals and discussed some more surprising genetic traits (in humans). Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila) ran the board and chimed in o…

Does music really affect performance? | One Good Question 11:39

1M ago11:39

11:39

Does a PR song really help you get a PR? Does the tempo of music change the speed of your cardio workout? Maybe most importantly, does it affect your motivation to lift? Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila) ran the board and chimed in on this one. Listener resources: Science on music and exercise performance: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/ar…

Does looking jacked always make a good impression ? 57:37

2M ago57:37

57:37

We’ve always been told not to judge a book by its cover, but does that stop us? No! Even when it’s not a good idea. Why do we make these judgments? We look at three physical characteristics that humans tend to let themselves be influenced by when judging the people we meet. Some things can be changed through reasonable effort (getting muscles), but…

When should kids start strength training? | One Good Question 10:41

2M ago10:41

10:41

This week’s question is more of a parenting question than a physiology question. When should parents introduce strength training? The answer is simpler than you’d think. Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila) ran the board and chimed in on this one. Do you have a question for one of our Friday “One Good Question” episodes? Share it with us on soc…

How come some powerlifting rules make no sense? 1:02:49

2M ago1:02:49

1:02:49

If short lifters can use blocks under their feet in competition, why can’t tall lifters use a taller bench? That’s just one example, but when you take a closer look there are definitely some things that don’t make sense. We also talk NBA, Taylor Swift, local crime, and bidets. Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila) ran the board and chimed in on …

We've got a business question this week. What do you bring to the table as a potential business owner? What one thing would make you a better business owner than an employee? Our Wednesday guest, Ryan Thompson, joined us for this one. You can follow Ryan on Instagram at @rhinorooterplumbing. Do you have a question for one of our Friday “One Good Qu…

Ryan Thompson found his way, and you might find yours, too 1:08:42

Ryan Thompson is a plumber. He’s actually Jim’s plumber. But he didn’t plan to be a plumber. After fighting through addiction, a chance moment at a gas station led to a path forward for him. Locking in on new goals -- and relying on discipline learned through sports and in the gym --- he found a rewarding trade and career that changed his life. He …

11:32

Recent studies (https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/apr/02/new-science-of-death-brain-activity-consciousness-near-death-experience) show that the brain is furious with activity in the minutes after death. Areas of the brain that don’t generally work together suddenly team up, and the visual cortex is particularly active. If your brain is going…

Good athletes vs Elite Athletes? | One Good Question 12:07

This week’s question from our Discord: dingleberrykumquat asked, “What separates a good athlete from an elite athlete? Is it genetics, luck, discipline, and/or resources?” In other words, how does the nature vs nurture debate play out in athletes? Do you have a question for one of our Friday “One Good Question” episodes? Hit us up on social media a…

Is porn addiction real? 55:06

2M ago55:06

55:06

We’ve seen people on social media, TV, etc. talk about their “porn addiction.” Most people nod their heads as if they believe and understand what the person is going through. Addiction is addiction, right? But…several years ago, scientists stopped believing in the condition. Studies didn’t support that it exists, and there’s no way to diagnose it. …

IIFYM or just stick to eating clean? | One Good Question 14:30

This week’s question on our Discord: WarBoyWonder asked, “Thoughts on IIFYM or sticking to proper healthy foods during a cut?” It’s not always about Poptarts? Or is it?

Do celebrities inspire cult behavior (Huberman, Diddy, etc.)? 57:32

3M ago57:32

57:32

While this is technically the 400th episode of the show, we’re treating it more like the “faux-hundredth” because we’ve used “rewind” episodes 11 times since we started. Look for something (hopefully) for our 400th episode of original content. We talked through the recent New York Magazine article about Andrew Huberman, the legal issues hounding Se…
