Summary

Biomechanics is the understanding of the body’s structure, function, and motion with physics to describe what we experience. As lifters, most of what biomechanics explains mathematically, we understand intuitively. But, in a complex dynamic system like the human body, sometimes what we experience, or our assumptions based on a limited understanding of biomechanics, can be counterintuitive and misleading. To clear up the confusion and address the popular tropes, we’re joined by Megan Bryanton-Jones, PhD, the powerlifting biomechanist behind Kinetic Advantage. She joins us alongside returning guest, the PhD candidate and intellectual entity known as Andrew Vigotsky, on this episode of Iron Culture.

0:00.0	Bio mechanics, biohacking,
0:04.5	Dianetics, which of the three is actually valid?
0:07.5	We're going to discover in this episode today.
0:10.8	Yep, this episode on El Run Hubbard,
0:12.6	the modern savior for us all.
0:14.8	Shout out.
0:16.8	Oh, wait, sorry.
0:17.7	Apparently, I'm getting a phone call from our producer.
0:20.2	The answer is biomechanics.
0:21.5	And that's actually what we're going to be discussing today.
0:24.6	Apologies.
0:25.4	And Eric, yeah, maybe we got some individuals that one, Vagotsky's pursuing his PhD.
0:31.5	Megan has her PhD.
0:33.3	Maybe she has a company or a program kinetic advantage that helps lifters most take advantage of their biomechanics
0:40.8	in order to optimize their lifts.
0:42.7	So we have two very qualified people
0:44.9	to talk about a topic everyone's interested in.
0:47.3	What else is new on Iron Culture?
0:50.0	Yeah, and one of them happened to have competed
0:51.8	at the world level in IPF.
0:53.8	Yeah.
0:55.2	You know, I wonder sometimes if our listeners get tired of hearing from these elite level
