Science is one of the most powerful tools we have—but it's not the only one.
In this video, I explain why relying exclusively on small studies, short-term research, and statistical significance can sometimes lead lifters to conclusions that don't hold up in the real world. Decades of coaching experience, bodybuilding history, and observations from thousands of athletes still matter.
I'm not arguing against science—I'm arguing against scientism: the idea that if there isn't a study on it, it can't be true.
In this video, we discuss:
Why many training studies have significant limitations
Small sample sizes and short study durations
The difference between statistical significance and practical significance
Why anecdotal evidence shouldn't be dismissed outright
What bodybuilding legends figured out long before research caught up
How to combine science and real-world experience for better results
The best coaches don't ignore science.
The best coaches also don't ignore decades of successful training.
The truth is somewhere in the middle.
Let me know in the comments: Do you think science-based lifting has gone too far, or is it still the best approach?
