Although the stereotype has changed, quality nutrition is probably the last thing you associate with powerlifting. For decades, the image of a 300-pound overweight behemoth was the face and body of the sport. Bodybuilders used to even joke during their offseason that they might as well get fat and become powerlifters.

However, powerlifting has weight classes, which makes nutrition uniquely important. It’s hard to be competitive at a high level if you have a lot of extra body fat. Look at the best powerlifters in the sport today - John Haack, Russel Orhii, Taylor Atwood, they are all jacked. 

To maximize your potential on the platform, you want to carry as much lean body mass as possible while staying within the weight-class parameters. The strongest athlete isn’t always the most muscular one, but having more muscle mass is going to equal a stronger version of you. 

So, nutrition is a great place to start if you want to improve your powerlifting game. The trouble is, what does that even mean? In this podcast, we cover what eating for strength is all about. Sit back, relax, and enjoy.

In this episode of The Absolute Strength Podcast, Derek and I answer fat loss questions from listeners. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

 

The questions on the show:

  1. I’ve been in a calorie deficit for months, but my weight won’t budge. What am I doing wrong?
  2. Do you recommend a specific macro split for fat loss, or is it just about protein and calories? For example, I love carbs. Can I still eat a lot of them and lose fat?
  3. How do you feel about cheat meals during a cut? Do they actually help, or just slow down fat loss?
  4. Hey Kyle, how do you stay consistent with fat loss when life gets crazy with work, kids, social events, etc.?
  5. What do you guys think is the biggest mistake bodybuilders make when trying to get stage-lean?
  6. I know there are no real health benefits to alcohol, but how bad is it for fat loss? Can I still have a few drinks and make progress?
  7. Do you ever recommend aggressive mini-cuts or is a slower approach always better?
  8. If a powerlifter wants to move down a weight class, how long should they take to do it without wrecking their total?

In this episode of The Absolute Strength Podcast, Derek and I dive into one of the biggest nutrition myths out there—the idea that certain foods are "good" or "bad." If you've ever felt guilty about eating eggs, red meat, white bread, or chocolate, this episode is for you. The truth is, no single food will make or break your progress. It all comes down to context, portion control, and your overall diet. We'll break down why labeling foods as off-limits can actually do more harm than good and go over some of the most commonly demonized foods that you can absolutely include in your diet while still making gains. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

In this episode of The Absolute Strength Podcast, Derek and I dive into a topic that hits home for so many of us: the truth about why most people aren't reaching their fitness goals.

We break down the mindset shifts, practical strategies, and no-nonsense advice to help you stop overthinking and start taking action. If you've ever felt stuck despite knowing what to do, this episode is for you. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

In this episode of the Absolute Strength Podcast, Derek and I answer a variety of listener questions. We dive into topics like workout efficiency, balancing intensity and volume, the benefits of saunas and steam rooms, the role of genetics in strength and muscle building, and the recent pushback against evidence-based lifting. Tune in for practical advice, and stay for the endless banter. Sit back, relax, and enjoy! 

 

Questions on the show:

  1. If a routine calls for four sets of 10 reps on something like an Incline press or cable chest flies, and instead, since you want to make your workout shorter, you do one set of 10, then wait 15 to 30 seconds and do three sets of whatever you can get but still around failure, is that as effective for muscle growth as doing one set of 10, then waiting two minutes and repeating until all four sets are done?
  2. I know you guys talk a lot about training close to failure, but how do you balance pushing hard on big compound lifts, lifts, specifically squats and deadlifts, staying safe and avoiding injury?
  3. What’s your take on saunas and steam rooms? Do you think the cardiovascular and respiratory health benefits make them a valuable addition to a routine?
  4. How much do genetics really matter for building muscle and gaining strength? I hear mixed opinions - some people say they’re everything, while others say hard work beats genetics every time.
  5. Why do you think there has been more pushback lately to evidence-based lifting and the scientific lifting community?

Dec 18, 2024

I’ve been searching high and low for nutrition secrets for decades. At first, it was a selfish pursuit. I was Ponce de Leon looking for the Fountain of Youth, except my quest was for the fountain of muscle gains and performance.

Then, my search evolved. Over the years, as I coached hundreds of clients, one question emerged: Why is nutrition so difficult for most people? Exercise is not the biggest struggle; it’s diet, by far. There has to be a solution.

It turns out there is only one nutrition secret—consistency. You can follow any diet you want—flexible dieting, low carb, low fat, intermittent fasting, paleo, Mediterranean—it doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is your ability to stick to it. If you stick to it, it will work. If you can’t, it won’t.

So, what’s the solution? It’s not perfect, but The Consistency Diet is my best answer.

In this episode of the Absolute Strength Podcast, Derek and I answer listeners' questions. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

 

Questions on the show:

  1. I’ve been lifting heavy and focusing on powerlifting for a while now—do I need to mix in lighter phases either for better strength gains or for longevity, or can I keep pushing low reps year-round?
  2. What’s the easiest way to start tracking macros when you’re new to flexible dieting?
  3. When it comes to the deadlift, would you classify it more as a back exercise or a leg movement? Or, does it depend on your goals?
  4. What’s one mistake you’ve made as a coach or in your own training that really taught you something important?
  5. Hey guys, love the show. My girlfriend wants me to help her get into lifting. However, she has never set foot in a gym before. My question is, how can I help a beginner start their fitness journey without making it feel too overwhelming?
  6. I'm 43, and have been training pretty consistently for twenty years. I still enjoy going to the gym, but I don't feel like I'm getting anywhere. When progress slows down or feels nonexistent, how do you stay motivated and stick with it?

Questions on the show:

  1. If I have only 30 minutes to train ( 3 or 4 days a week), how would you suggest I structure my workouts to get the best results?
  2. In regards to supplements for building muscle, what basics would you recommend? I already take a pre workout, protein powder, and creatine. Is there anything else I should look into?
  3. I have trouble feeling my lats in pull-ups. I know they are a great exercise so I want to do them. Do you have any tips to improve my mind-muscle connection?
  4. I just started training at home and I’m limited on equipment, with only a barbell and a few plates. How would you structure my workout to keep things challenging and progressive?
  5. I tend to overthink every little part of my workout and end up feeling overwhelmed. What advice would you give me to simplify my approach and stay focused?

I love reading. It’s one of my favorite things to do in my spare time. But, when you get deep into reading, one of the first issues you run into is what to read next. So, I find myself perusing best book lists quite frequently. Here is my attempt to throw my hat into the ring.

My goal is to create a well-rounded list. Of course, I’m limited to only books I’ve read. Admittedly, I have yet to read all the classics, but lists filled with those are a little pretentious anyway. I mean, come on, who has actually read The Wealth of Nations, War and Peace, or Ulysses?

Since my audience is primarily men, the list includes 51 books every man should read. I divided them into five categories: fiction, money, personal development, biographies, and fitness.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy!
