Eric, why are you doing this to the people?

The people deserve it, they need it, and I'm the person who won't pull any punches.

You know, we're kind of like the government. We know what's best for the people. We know what's best for you.

And here's the thing, folks, okay? Yeah, the general tagline for Iron Culture is united for all lifters.

But we're basically going to exclude a large swath of lifters because those that think

if you don't train a failure, that you are a failure, you might have a wake-up call today

in this episode.

I will say, though, that that group of lifters have a great tagline.

And I think more important in truth is whether something sounds truthy.

And if you don't train to failure, you are a failure.

Man, if that isn't memeable, if that shouldn't have like an eagle on a poster with failure

written on top and then that written in small print below.

I don't know what should be on that poster.

So yeah, like I said, I don't pull punches, Omar.

And I know that some might say, and that some was me later in this episode, that the people

aren't ready to hear these truths about failure training.

But I know the cult is going to be ready when the time comes.

And the time comes now, because it's coming right after this intro, and we got none other

than FAU Masters Graduate, that's Florida Atlantic University, shout out Dr. Mike Zerdos,

Zach Robinson on, who actually did his master's degree, which he recently defended successfully,

on the topic of training to failure for both hypertrophy and strength.

You might know him from data-driven strength, along with his colleagues there.
