BigFreakinNeil Presents: SIZE, STRENGTH & BROSCIENCE Neil Austin

Welcome to SIZE, STRENGTH & BROSCIENCE, the podcast dedicated to bridging the gap between the anecdotal "broscience" of the bodybuilding and powerlifting world with evidence- and research-based fitness.

In this week's episode, my good friend Ian Padron returns to weigh in on an age-old question. What is the ideal training style to maximize hypertrophy and achieve your biggest, freakiest physique? Does the difference between Phil Heath and Ronnie Coleman boil down to genetic structure or did the load/technique they utilized in training have a real impact on their appearance on stage?

In this week's episode, I sit down with my good friend, business partner, and "brain twin" Alex Cain (@healthcoachcain). As a personal trainer/coach with an extensive education and several nationally accredited certifications, he provides a valuable and unique "outside looking in" perspective on the sport of bodybuilding,, what we can do to make it more widely accessible, and how much of the brosciencey prep practices are actually backed by exercise science.

In this week's episode, I sit down with my good friend, former co-worker, and occasional training partner Ian Padron and pit the anecdotal "broscience" of the bodybuilding world against his extensive real-world education. This is truly a must-listen for anyone at all interested in the science behind what we do and how much of it is valid vs. regurgitated superstition. Do you need to eat six times a day? Do you need to crush a post-workout meal within 30 minutes of training? Do you really need to eat white fish pre-contest to make your skin "thinner"? Let's get into it.

In this week's episode, I sit down with my former training manager, fellow competitor, and good friend Ty Senter as he talks me through the journey that ultimately built him a great physique, education, and life as a business owner/personal trainer. Truly a fitness renaissance man, Ty has an even more eclectic athletic background than I could have imagined, and his life story is ultimately an awesome blueprint for success in this industry. Buckle up, take notes, and learn from one of the best.

In this week's episode, I sit down with my good friend and client Brittany Young, bikini competitor, mother of four, entrepreneur, and all around badass mom boss. Not only do we dive into the best parts of her experience as a top-three finisher, but also the lingering emotional and psychological effects that transitioning off a prep can have. We all go through it, but few have the guts to actually talk about it. Not the case here. Let's dive in.
