    226: Martin Refalo - What Training To Failure Actually Means

    In this episode of The General Muscle Podcast, Lawrence is joined by Martin Refalo to unpack one of bodybuilding’s most debated topics: training to failure vs reps in reserve (RIR). They explore whether we can truly gauge failure accurately, how lifters often misjudge proximity to failure, and what the research says about pushing sets to the limit. Most importantly, the discussion turns practical, outlining how to apply RIR and failure intelligently within your program, when to push harder, and when leaving reps in the tank might actually drive better long-term progress.

    225: How Much Of A Bodybuilder Do You Want To Be?

    In this episode of The General Muscle Podcast, Lawrence is joined by Joey Cantlin to unpack the different ways bodybuilding can look depending on your goals, lifestyle, and season of life. They discuss the contrast between competitive and casual bodybuilding, the key differences between offseason and prep, and how to view the sport through a health-focused lens. The conversation dives into making nutrition and training fit your life rather than consume it, while also addressing the critical question: when is it time to truly “lock in”?

    223: Why Old Injuries Keep Coming Back

    Lawrence is flying solo on the podcast this week with some Q&A questions! He first unpacks a common and frustrating question: do some muscle tears just never fully heal? Using the example of a lingering hamstring injury years after the initial tear. He walks through the normal stages of muscle healing, why pain can persist long after tissue repair, and the key reasons flare-ups keep happening. In the second half, he shifts gears and reflects on the best and worst parts of moving out, through both a bodybuilding lens and a broader life lens. Thank you for listening!

    220: Pain vs. Injury | Lessons From Four Years Of Physio (ft. Kat Byrne)

    Four years into clinical practice, a lot changes, how you assess, how you communicate, and how you think about your role as a physio. In this episode, Lawrence is joined by Kathleen Byrne for an honest reflection on the biggest lessons learned since graduating. From mistakes made early on, to shifts in confidence, clinical reasoning, patient communication, and managing uncertainty, this is a candid conversation about what actually shapes you once the textbooks are closed. Whether you’re a student, a new grad, or a few years into practice yourself, this episode is a reminder that growth in physio doesn’t come from knowing more, it comes from reflecting better.
