The Stronger By Science Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I love their sense of humor and intelligence! Due to financial constraints, I’m a wannabe lifter who makes do with 15lb dumbbells in her living room, but I hope to lift heavy in the future so I am gathering knowledge now. As a scientist, I appreciate their rigorous, evidence-based approach and like how they also address approaches that are effective IRL despite lacking CRTs. I can only imagine the time it takes to maintain that level of rigor for multiple seasons! The only small criticism I have is that Greg’s food/recipe segments are pretty unrealistic for a working parent of three kids (who insist on singing up for every extracurricular offered). Highly recommend to anyone into fitness.

The shows with Trex are truly 5-star (excellent content with engaging banter), but sadly the show declined steadily after the break up. I’m sorry to say this, but the new threesome have very little chemistry and I think the show should take a break to find its footing.

I enjoy the conversations and topics discussed in this podcast. I especially enjoy how it’s evidence based and usually discussed in ways that it can be applied to the day to day. I personally have no issues with cussing. This is a casual conversation discussing evidence based fitness and I see no issues with the way the hosts express themselves.

Easily one of the best, if not the best, “Muscle” related podcasts out there on the Webs. But since it was the first ever fitness related podcasts ever put out, that’s to be expected I guess. Tons of great info put out by Eric Trexler and his temporary (?) guest host Greg Nuckols. You can clearly sense the tension b/t them during the podcasts, but it only seems to make each of them up their game to provide outstanding fitness information. Also, just to to be clear, they were promoting a MASS Black Friday sale. They were NOT promoting nor advertising to celebrate a Black Mass this Friday.

This show is really frustrating! It has good information, but getting to it is a ridiculous slog.

Many of the episodes are hours long, mostly a casual meander here & there with occasional bits of useful info. It’s painful. No one is going to sit glued to the screen that long; you have to let them blather in in the background while you do something else and try not to tune them out entirely, because you do want to hear when they come around to the topic, do you can take notes. At the end, you can read the notes at a reasonable speed & see what you spent so much of your day on.

They give a couple references for each episode (although the page for the current episode, on power building, is 404), but clearly not everything. The few articles linked could be read aloud in the time the show takes! That would get them rejected from any journal; why treat your audience so badly, with such sloppy work?

With a tight script and good editing—AV editing to get the shows down to a snappy half hour and someone treating the bibliographies professionally—this show could be amazing. I’ve followed it, listened when I can stand it, or looked up the references, for a couple of years now, hoping they’d get their act together. They clearly just don’t care.

As an exercise science major, anything that gets me to expand my horizons and learn more about the field, I appreciate and this podcast does that for me so thank you but please cut down things and stick to the topic at hand
