Summary

Today’s episode begins with a discussion about the very predictable scandal that rocked Fat Bear Week. After that, Greg presents a segment about accommodating resistance (that is, training with bands and chains). Greg digs into the available research and explains why accommodating resistance is beneficial for power development and explosive muscle actions, while failing to meaningfully impact maximal strength. That’s followed by Eric’s segment that clears up some misconceptions about the actual net energy cost of exercise. He explores how physical activity impacts total daily energy expenditure, describes some key characteristics that influence inter-individual differences in the net energy cost of exercise, and explains why and how to estimate the net energy cost of exercise using a new tool developed by the Stronger By Science team.

0:00.0	Welcome back to the Stronger by Science Podcast. My name is Eric Trexler. I am the special temporary primary host of this podcast and today I'm joined by Greg Knuckles. He is currently the permanent guest co-host for the time being.
0:16.5	Greg. Thanks for joining me. How are you doing today?
0:19.3	Thanks for having me on and I am doing splendidly. How are you? I'm doing great. Let's dive right
0:26.4	into it. The first thing I want to mention here with the podcast is that I'm the first person to admit to your mistakes and you've done a very poor job so far
0:38.1	Highlighting the research spotlight newsletter that's you know when I bring you on as a guest, you know, temporary full-time
0:47.0	co-host, I need you to pull your weight and not kind of be there like dead weight. I know you've been jockeying for a more formal position, but
0:57.6	neglecting your duties is not a good way to secure that. So I'm going to pick up the slack.
1:02.4	A lot of people are not yet subscribe. that's done recording. We'll see what HR has to say about that. Oh and the Union. That's
1:14.9	going to be tough. And the Union, yeah. Yeah. So the research spotlight newsletter,
1:20.4	Greg, some people aren't subscribed yet, which is crazy. What you get is a two minute
1:26.4	breakdown of one study every Wednesday. So Greg and I, you know, pick a study, break it down down gets into your email inbox every single Wednesday and the
1:36.9	research spotlight newsletter is the easiest way to stay up to date with the latest exercise and
1:42.1	nutrition research the best part Greg, it's totally free.
1:45.7	Completely. If there's one thing I learned in grad school, it's that passing up on free stuff is literally the same thing as losing money.
1:53.6	Okay, so as a grad student, I remember I would walk past a free cup of coffee and I would
2:00.0	know that that is the same thing as losing somewhere between two and five dollars if you
2:04.4	don't take that free cup of coffee. Passing on a free lunch it's literally like
2:09.7	getting punched in the face and having someone take ten or 15 dollars straight out of your pocket.
2:16.0	Imagine you're offered a free banana.
2:18.0	What could a banana cost?
2:19.0	$10?
2:20.0	Well, if you turn it down, it's like losing $10 right out of your wallet.
