Energy Compensation, Interference Effect, Underestimating Supplements

In this week’s episode, Eric shares a research review with an updated perspective on the constrained energy expenditure model and compensation for calories burned during exercise. After that, Greg shares a research update on whether or not lifters need to worry about the interference effect when they add some cardio to their weekly routine. Finally, Greg and Eric discuss the possibility that we may be underestimating the effects of some fairly well-known dietary supplements, and share their thoughts on the NFL playoffs and Super Bowl.
