Brad, Alberto, Jeff, and Brian discuss different types of evidence, where to get them, how to use them, and the problem with relying too much on one type of data. Who do the coaches learn from? When do the coaches go against science-based recommendations? What is the difference between outcome data and mechanistic data? Why do the coaches caution against being “anti bro”? Who are science-based recommendations for? What is the problem with purely science-based lifting? Which types of evidence do the coaches use to program their own and their athletes’ training? The answers to these questions and many more are covered in this episode.
