I\u2019ve written and recorded a lot of evidence-based content over the years on just about everything you can imagine related to building muscle, losing fat, and getting healthy.

I\u2019ve also worked with thousands of men and women of all ages and circumstances and helped them get into the best shape of their lives.

That doesn\u2019t mean you should blindly swallow everything I say, though, because let\u2019s face it\u2014nobody is always right about everything. And especially in fields like diet and exercise, which are constantly evolving thanks to the efforts of honest and hardworking researchers and thought leaders.

This is why I\u2019m always happy to hear from people who disagree with me, especially when they have good arguments and evidence to back up their assertions.

Sometimes I can\u2019t get on board with their positions, but sometimes I end up learning something, and either way, I always appreciate the discussion.

That gave me the idea for this series of podcast episodes: publicly addressing things people disagree with me on and sharing my perspective.

Think of it like a spicier version of a Q&A.

So, here\u2019s what I\u2019m doing:

Every couple of weeks, I\u2019m asking my Instagram followers what they disagree with me on, and then picking a few of the more common or interesting contentions to address here on the podcast.

And in this episode, I\u2019ll be tackling the following . . .

4:34 - \u201cLow bar squats shouldn\u2019t be preferred in Bigger Leaner Stronger because they\u2019re difficult for most people to do.\u201d

20:05 - \u201cCannabis isn\u2019t inherently bad. It can be used recreational without negative consequences and it\u2019s also safer than alcohol.\u201d

26:11 - \u201cTime restricted and fasting should be more widely applied as a health improvement strategy rising almost entirely to the standard of care for a host of conditions and the failure to do this is resulting in the loss of life, limb, eyesight, quality of life, autonomy, time, and of course, the big needle mover, money.\u201d
