Greg Doucette is WRONG About Science Based Lifting!

from Always Adaptive · host Randall

Science based lifting is taking fire from every direction right now, and not just from trolls. After Aaron Solomon exposed major flaws in Mike Israetel’s PhD dissertation, a lot of people saw their chance to attack science itself.Creators like Greg Doucette, Sam Sulek and a wave of others have been dropping reaction videos that paint evidence-based training as shaky, unreliable, or outright pointless. Some of the biggest names in the research world, including Jeff Nippard and Brad Schoenfeld, are getting dragged into the crossfire.In this video, I break down several of these viral clips and bring some sanity back into the conversation. Science has flaws. Researchers make mistakes. Studies can be biased or poorly designed. None of that makes science useless.My goal is not to defend anyone. My goal is to help lifters understand the difference between critiquing science, rejecting science, and how evidence, experience, and critical thinking actually work together.00:00 Introduction02:09 Sam Clips07:38 Greg Clips22:43 Things to Look for in StudiesCoaching inquiries email me at [email protected] or visit alwaysadaptive.com
