1:34:30 Interview with Dr. Eric Helms

1:34:58 Eric Helms’ background

1:39:37 Helms is currently prepping for a bodybuilding competition. Compared to previous competition preps, what is he doing differently this time around?

1:40:51 Doing contest prep without strictly tracking macros

1:48:31 How low do Helms’ calories get during contest prep?

1:54:05 How long is Helms’ current prep going to be?

2:00:12 When you get late into a weight loss phase, do you cut down training volume or intensity?

2:06:37 Are you doing anything to proactively address reductions in non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) during contest prep?

2:07:33 Helms and Trexler bash the regular use of HIIT during contest prep

2:08:02 Does Helms have any strategies or approaches that he likes to use, despite the fact that they aren’t necessarily backed by scientific evidence?

2:10:02 What are a lot of bodybuilders getting wrong these days? (Discussion: Ideal training frequency for bodybuilding)

2:13:54 Training studies are often quite short, and in relatively untrained people. Do the results from these short-term studies translate to long-term differences over a training career?

2:19:31 Is bodybuilding unhealthy? Should it be encouraged?

2:28:11 Helms plugs his “podcast” with Omar Isuf
(Note: after a thorough review, it does not meet the Stronger By Science criteria for formal identification as a “fitness podcast,” and therefore is not the first fitness podcast ever)

2:30:50 How can people get in touch with Helms?
