Welcome to another episode of the Stronger by Science Podcast.

In this episode, Greg and I provide a thorough report on the recent Stronger by Science trip to Iceland.

After feats of strength, Greg and I discussed a recent paper that has caused some controversy

related to the consumption of red meat and process meat.

After that, we have a practical discussion on how and why to implement D-loads in your training.

And finally, Greg and I interview Dr Michael Ray

who tells us all about pain science,

specifically in the context of lifting weights.

As always, thank you for listening and we hope you enjoy.

All right, welcome back to another episode of the Stronger by Science Podcast. I'm your host Eric Trexler. Today I'm

joined by a special temporary co-host named Greg Knuckles. Thanks for having me on.

Thank you for coming along. Okay, so if you tried to message Gregorai on social media in early October,

there's a chance we missed it because we took a big family stronger by science trip to Iceland. Very cool strength pilgrimage for everybody listening. If you want to go pick up heavy stones on a beach or potentially run into the strongest man in the world, Iceland would be the place to do it.

So, Greg, did you enjoy our time on the trip?

Oh yeah, I mean, it was sick.

Very cool place. Windy. Very windy. Extreme, dangerously windy. Extreme dangerously windy, but beautiful country nice people.

Windy to a point that shocked me. I had read a lot about Iceland.

Apparently no one talks about how fucking windy. I had read a lot about Iceland.

Apparently no one talks about how fucking windy it is.

But it was incredibly windy.

And with the intro out of the way

where we literally just talk about the weather.
