In this episode, I sit down with Lyle Mcdonald, hands down one of the smartest authorities on fitness and nutrition that the world has ever scene. Lyle is notorious for his uncanny ability to make even the most complicated concepts become simply understood and internalized, by anyone.
Moreover, Lyle is also one of the first people to point out that most of the training and diet advice we are exposed to is sublimated to marketing. Being one of the first evidence based writers on the scene, earned him an amazing following and credibility.
Matter of fact, Lyle is the expert who the experts follow and when I was first breaking free of all the myths and nonsenses in the industry 4 years ago, I was heavily digging into Lyle Mcdonald’s site bodyrecomposition.com – as well as his extremely thorough research based books.
Lyle is an absolute brilliant mind and I was extremely fortunate to be able to do an interview with him since he rarely does these.
Funny enough, as soon as the interview was initially published on youtube, all the big names in the fitness industry started sharing it like crazy, including Alan Aragon and Dan John. Within a couple days the original video amounted 5000+ views.
If this doesn’t tell you something, I don’t know what will.
A Podcast Of Epic Proportions
In this podcast of epic proportions I pick Lyle’s brain for over an hour. During the course of the interview, we cover how to get lean, deal with psychological stress, bust through plateau’s and build muscle. More importantly, we cover where our focus should be moving forward to breed a society of fit and lean people.
I recommend fastening your seat belts for this episode – Lyle Mcdonald’s brain is on a whole other level and everything he was spewing during the podcast could be printed into a very well written book. In fact, I felt like I was sitting down with the Mike Ross of nutrition and fitness (Suits reference, anyone?).
