This is part 3 of our mini-series covering the history of long standing strength training myths. As the title suggests, we have extended the series to nutrition myths that are/were popular among those who regularly engage in strength training. For this episode, I was delighted to be joined by Dr. Conor Heffernan and Dr. Eric Helms to discuss the history of the so-called "anabolic window" as well as some popular narratives around meal frequency within bodybuilding (e.g. eating every 2-3 hours to "stoke the metabolic fire"). We hope you enjoy it and appreciate any feedback that you may have!
