Dr. Eric Helms is back on the podcast for an in-depth discussion on his latest training and nutrition insights. We revisit his uni-corn offseason gains, how his recent mini cut set him up for prep, and why he’s able to handle close to 30 sets per week for multiple muscle groups. We also break down his latest research on protein intake when dieting, including key takeaways from his recent paper with Martin Refalo and Eric Trexler. Plus, we dive into the ongoing protein debate between Menno Henselmans and Milo Wolf. To wrap up, we tackle a big issue in the evidence-based space—science communication. With new studies frequently challenging existing ideas, many lifters feel lost in a whirlwind of conflicting information. Eric shares his perspective on how to navigate it all. This one is packed with insights to help you train smarter—don’t miss it!

In this episode, I share 10 key lessons from my fitness and bodybuilding journey. We discuss why the big principles in training and nutrition stay constant, even as experts debate the finer details. I highlight the importance of personal preference, the slow and steady approach to bulking, and the significant role of genetics. We also explore why chasing 'optimal' can be misleading and how science offers clues rather than definitive answers. Plus, learn how to train as hard and as often as possible for maximum growth. These insights will help you navigate your own fitness path! Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 03:12 The big principles don’t change 05:43 Experts agree on the big principles but disagree on the smaller variables 08:51 There are many roads to Rome - there are really no shortcuts 13:53 A lot of diet & training differences can come down to personal preference & that is more important than any small optimality you’re attempting to get - optimal is a fallacy 18:36 Bulking isn’t dead but it should be done slowly 26:15 There are some excellent rules of thumb out there, but you have to focus on the individual at hand to get the best results 31:17 Science is never providing answers, but clues & pushing us further to the truth 37:12 Genetics matter a lot! 46:35 To grow your best you want to train as hard as you can, as often as you can, for as long as you can 53:27 Whilst the big principles don’t change, we’re learning more all the time Thanks, please comment, like and subscribe!
