Trial and error or 'research': Do they give us the same answer?
from Philife Podcast Hosted by John Barban and Brad Pilon
Before the internet existed, most of us got our workout and diet ideas from fitness and bodybuilding magazines. And for a long time that seemed to work just fine. With the advent of the internet there is a virtual unlimited supply of information for exercise and nutrition. Some of this information is coming from academics and physicians who seemed to have only discovered or accepted the benefits of exercise once they can point to a research paper to prove it. Do we really need a research paper to tell us that lifting weights will make our muscles bigger and stronger and our bones denser and stronger? Do we really need a research paper to tell us that cutting calories is how you will lose body fat? It is too easy to get caught up consuming more and more information about exercise, fitness and diet that will do nothing besides leave you paralyzed with uncertainty. The answers to what works and is most effective was sorted out through trial and error decades ago by bodybuilders in the 60s and 70s. --------------------------------- WEBSITES --------------------------------- https://johnbarban.com https://bradpilon.com https://www.totaltclinic.com/podcast-contact/ https://eatstopeat.com https://www.ultalabtests.com
