Mike "Silent Mike" Farr and Jim McDonald are entrepreneurs (lifestyle apparel company and a barbell gym) and veteran podcasters. In every episode, they try to answer a single question. Any question is fair game, but most involve health, fitness, nutrition, mental health, culture…even sex. They examine common misconceptions and then try to get to the correct answer -- often with the help of subject matter experts. They walk away with a better sense of the facts…and so do you.

This week’s question arose from a recent conversation Mike had with Omar Isuf: "What's your 'cranky old man' opinion?” Things change over time, and change doesn’t always make us happy. And the older we get, the easier it is to be cranky about it. Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila) ran the board and chimed as well. Do you have a question for o…

The International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) has been the only truly “official” vehicle for powerlifters hoping to compete on an international stage. The federation has written into its constitution rules that are supposed to prevent the taint of members participating in untested competitions hosted by other federations, but now it is being used…

This week’s question: “What makes someone a good coaching client?” We see conversations online about coaches that are unqualified and really...uninterested in helping their clients. But coaching is really a two-way street. What responsibilities does a client have to make the best of their coaching dollars? Our new trainer at Third Street Barbell, T…

Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila) ran the board and chimed in on this one. Do you have a question for one of our Friday “One Good Question” ep…

This week’s question comes from Mike’s Instagram: “ Would you ever be able to talk about overhead and planning from when you opened 3SB (our gym, Third Street Barbell)?” So yeah, we can…and we do!

Prompted by a Reddit question, we talked through the impact of reducing attempts from three attempts per lift to two attempts per lift. Would meets move faster? Would warmup rooms be chaos? We also compared the top 10 Canadian athletes and the top 10 Texan athletes. Can one state beat a whole country? Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila) ran th…

This week’s question comes from Mike’s Instagram: “How do you organize your thoughts, wants, and plans when you’re building a business.” Everybody has their own personal organizational approaches (with varying degrees of success).

It looks like changes are afoot. Instagram may be changing how its algorithm serves up shared (versus original) content. Will this entirely change the meme game? We also ran down lists of the most intelligent animals and discussed some more surprising genetic traits (in humans). Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila) ran the board and chimed in o…

Does a PR song really help you get a PR? Does the tempo of music change the speed of your cardio workout? Maybe most importantly, does it affect your motivation to lift?

We’ve always been told not to judge a book by its cover, but does that stop us? No! Even when it’s not a good idea. Why do we make these judgments? We look at three physical characteristics that humans tend to let themselves be influenced by when judging the people we meet. Some things can be changed through reasonable effort (getting muscles), but…

If short lifters can use blocks under their feet in competition, why can’t tall lifters use a taller bench? That’s just one example, but when you take a closer look there are definitely some things that don’t make sense. We also talk NBA, Taylor Swift, local crime, and bidets.
