133: Dr Stu Phillips Part 2: Power, Protein, And The Science We Get Wrong

In this episode, Sarah Court and Laurel Beversdorf continue their conversation with Dr. Stu Phillips, one of the world's leading protein researchers. They dig into the latest ACSM Position Stand on Resistance Training, unpacking what it actually says about strength, hypertrophy, power, progressive overload, and why many of the debates happening online are driven more by certainty than by evidence.They also explore why protein has "jumped the shark," how marketing has outpaced the science, whether menopausal women really need dramatically more protein, and why consistency—not optimization—is still the most powerful exercise strategy. Throughout the conversation, Stu explains why scientific nuance often gets lost on social media and why changing your mind when new evidence emerges is a strength, not a weakness.FREE Barbell Mini Course when you get on our mailing listFOLLOW Movement Logic on IGWATCH Movement Logic on YouTubeLEARN MORE on the Movement Logic websiteFoldable Home Barbell Rack by VerseCoupon code: MovementLogic10%OFF at checkoutRESOURCES ACSM Position Stand on Resistance Training ACSM Health & Fitness Journal special issue on power training Stu Phillips — Protein Jumped the Shark (2025 article)
