454: Science-Based Lifters | Why Are They Hated? - Geoffrey Verity

The Revive Stronger Podcast · 2025-02-08

Why is there so much hate for science-based lifters right now?
In this episode, I’m joined by Geoffrey Verity Schofield to unpack the misconceptions about evidence-based training, the pitfalls of ‘optimality,’ and how to actually apply science without getting lost in the weeds.
Plus, Geoffrey shares his 2.5-week mini-cut experience and how he managed to drop nearly 10 pounds without tracking food.
This one’s a must-listen for anyone serious about training!
