Recently Alex published a video titled “Exercise Science is Killing Your Gains” 
• Exercise Science is Killing Your Gains
This prompted a lot of discussions, one with Dr Pak and Dr Milo Wolf that “went nowhere” – to quote Eric Helms,
• Is Exercise Science REALLY Killing Yo…
as well as Eric’s own reaction on Iron culture
• Ep. 258- The Rise of Lifting Anti-Sci…
Still I think a lot of people, myself included were left wanting to dig deeper into the rise of anti-science sentiments in the fitness community while simultaneously there is more so called “science-based” content popping up than ever. So I sat down with Alex, Dr Pak, and Dr Helms for about 2 hours each to peel back the layers on this topic, and at the end I will give you final thoughts. If you are like me and you enjoy these somewhat philosophical conversations about our industry, and how to navigate it and make it better, then you’ll get value out of the next 6+ hours of discussion.

After taking our training analysis quiz, you’ll have a long-term plan constructed for you. Your plan will consist of several Phases. Each Phase will present you with a few suggested programs to pick from. Each time you complete a program, you’ll move on to the next Phase and a new set of programs to select from.
This allows flexibility in the split and type of program you can choose, while we strategically periodize the stimulus you’re getting to keep making consistent progress without neglecting any weak links.
For example, a long-term plan with the goal of muscle gain will still occasionally include systemic conditioning or dedicated local metabolic work to keep your recovery capacity high (so you can grow and perform better during your hypertrophy-focused programs).
