Summary

We’re back with round 2 of our question and answer episodes on Iron Culture! We begin with the dumpster fire that is the “Natty or Not” debate, hopefully providing some unique insights, and then we get into some useful advice on both accurately identifying, and potentially, when appropriate, addressing “lagging” muscle groups. The real gem of this episode though, is answering the question “when is the right time to compete?” We address both strength and physique sport and truly get to the heart of what holds most people back, but what probably shouldn’t. Finally, we cover how to use the right types and balance between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation to ensure continual progress.

0:55.6	polygraph testing, urine testing, and out of competition testing.
0:59.0	Sure.
0:59.9	And just get the collective opinion of YouTube comments.
1:02.9	Or maybe just have a few key people who really seem to have that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that Wada
1:07.6	approved eyeball, you know.
1:11.7	Imagine how much bunny we could save athletes.
