Ep. 250 - WNBF Worlds, Pathological Bodybuilding, Muscle Loss
About this episode
The good Doctors Eric are still figuring out how to start episodes without Omar, and let's just say it's off to a rough start. But to their credit, they went on to deliver a monster episode even if Omar wasn't there to officially dub it so. In this conversation, Dr. Helms recaps the amazing battles and historic performances that took place at WNBF Worlds on Nov 18-19, where he participated as both a coach and athlete. Then, Dr. Trexler and he cover a couple of relevant and interesting research papers, the first, covered by Dr. Helms explores the "whys" underlying the motivations competitive bodybuilders have to live the life they lead. The second, covered by Dr. Trexler, explores the often-repeated claim that when you diet, you'll lose ~25% of your weight as lean mass. Is this true? And if it is, for whom and in what circumstances?
