Listen for free

  • Summary

  • Mike "Silent Mike" Farr and Jim McDonald are entrepreneurs (lifestyle apparel company and a barbell gym) and veteran podcasters. In every episode, they try to answer a single question. Any question is fair game, but most involve health, fitness, nutrition, mental health, culture…even sex. They examine common misconceptions and then try to get to the correct answer -- often with the help of subject matter experts. They walk away with a better sense of the facts…and so do you. Full episodes every Wednesday. Shorter episodes every Friday, dedicated to answering a question from listeners.

  • Does music really affect performance? | One Good Question

    Does music really affect performance? | One Good Question
    May 3 2024
    Does a PR song really help you get a PR? Does the tempo of music change the speed of your cardio workout? Maybe most importantly, does it affect your motivation to lift?

    Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila) ran the board and chimed in on this one.

  • Does looking jacked always make a good impression ?

    Does looking jacked always make a good impression ?
    May 1 2024
    We’ve always been told not to judge a book by its cover, but does that stop us? No! Even when it’s not a good idea. Why do we make these judgments?

    We look at three physical characteristics that humans tend to let themselves be influenced by when judging the people we meet. Some things can be changed through reasonable effort (getting muscles), but others are much tougher (or impossible). Is being more muscular always a plus?

    Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila) ran the board and chimed in on this one.

    When should kids start strength training? | One Good Question
    Apr 26 2024
    This week’s question is more of a parenting question than a physiology question. When should parents introduce strength training? The answer is simpler than you’d think.

    Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila) ran the board and chimed in on this one.
