The GLP-1 Drugs In recent years, the topic of the GLP-1s, drugs such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepound and others has taken the forefront of the discussion of the treatment of overweight and obesity. And understandably so, given that they represent the first true improvement on the issue. For a field that has, for decades, failed to achieve its goals of helping people to lose weight and fat and, more importantly, to keep it off, the GLP-1s have truly changed the game. But while man...| Bodyrecomposition
While I’m waiting for more than three whole people to step up and prove that they can train harder than me I wanted to run a piece I wrote a while back and never got around to finishing. And don’t worry, I’m not done thumping on about the failure thing, or the inability of so many supposed fitness professionals of knowing what failure actually is. The Instagrammatization of Fitness I’ve watched the online fitness industry develop for nearly 25 years now. And in recent years, it’...| Bodyrecomposition
As the sport of powerlifting continues to grow and grow, I am seeing more and more people ask questions regarding their first powerlifting meet. Often they will describe how they intend to approach it. Often the ideas, approach or goals that they list are far from ideal, almost guaranteeing a bad experience. “Do Your Own Research” That’s not meant to be as critical as it sounds. You can’t know what you can’t know and I imagine most readers of my site know how I feel about ...| Bodyrecomposition
Well alrighty then. Having addressed, sequentially Layne Norton’s bullshit dismissals along with Mike Israetel’s bullshit dismissals, I want to move past all this drama and bullshit. When EITHER of them have some facts to bring to what is a scientific debate, I’ll be all ears. But I will NOT hold my breath as such is not the way of the guru: when they have no facts, all they can fall back on is personal attacks and logical fallacies. Anyhow. But now it’s time to move past that...| Bodyrecomposition

On December 2nd of last year, I posted the last part in a long series I had written about the idea of training to muscular failure. What it represented physiologically and practically. In that final piece, titled Failure to Fail I put up a bunch of videos as a demonstration. A fair number of them were of me showing what training to true failure is in terms of how rep speeds change and the effort involved. In a few cases a set that started with a roughly 1 second or less rep ended with a...| Bodyrecomposition
Continuing from Part 1, I want to finish up looking at the oft stated, oft repeated, oft reshared statement that “FASTED CARDIO HAS NO BENEFITS FOR FAT LOSS.” Last time I looked at some of the basic biology of fat loss along with how initial bodyfat percentage might impact on where a “bottleneck” might show up. Following that I started to examine a paper by Escalante and colleague(s?) that also looked at the topic. They started by looking at the acute studies which I don’t fi...| Bodyrecomposition
So having addressed Layne Norton’s ad hominem, strawman, deflection guru hatrick regarding the “debate” over failure between Mike and I, I want to move on to what will be my final comments on Mike’s similar guru-tastic nonsense. Mike has failed to bring a single FACT to this debate, relying instead of misdirections, deflections, appeals to authority and ad hominems. It may be typical guru behavior but that doesn’t make it any less intellectually honest. But that’s Mike Israetel fo...| Bodyrecomposition
