199: WHAT ATHLETES GET WRONG ABOUT BODYBUILDING FT. DR. MARTIN REFALO

Welcome to Episode 199 of the Bodybuilding Down Under Podcast!

This week we are joined by Dr. Martin Refalo, researcher, coach, and new WNBF Australia President for a wide-ranging conversation bridging the gap between science and the stage.

Martin shares his own journey from old-school prep in 2016 to evidence-based bodybuilding, and why those two contrasting experiences shaped everything that followed. The conversation covers how to actually interpret and apply research, why looking at one training variable in isolation isn't practical and what his own protein meta-analysis really showed.

The boys also dig into how coaches and athletes can identify trustworthy science communicators and why speaking in absolutes is a red flag worth paying attention to.

Enjoy!
