Our creatine use in firefighters review paper is out!I've gotten some comments lately about our firefighters not being strong enough. But when I ask about the type of on-duty training the departments are conducting, it's often circuit-style training with limited weights. Circuit-style training is a legitimate format for multiple people in smaller spaces. That said, it's unlikely to get the typical firefighter much stronger unless they are quite deconditioned.When it comes to getting people st...

From my news feed: "Twelve Tufts University lacrosse athletes were hospitalized after a recent graduate from Navy Seal training took them through a workout."Excuse me, please? As I acknowledge in the recording, we don't know all the facts, so there may be more to this story, but at first glance, this is lunacy. Wha...

I spoke with founder Maia Brown and board members Melissa Lawlor and Dr. Brittany Hollerbach during this week's episode.
