Guest Appearance on Iron Radio
This past Friday, February 19th, I had the opportunity to appear along with Mike Nelson as a guest on Iron Radio and discuss my thoughts on Nutrition/Exercise Blogging. Mike Nelson is currently finishing up his PhD work in Kinesiology at University of Minnesota and writes an excellent blog which can be found on his website Extreme Human Performance
My interview can be found by accessing the Iron Radio archives which can be accessed by CLICKING HERE. My interview is in Interview #44. As a forewarning, my first response sounds a little rough….someone called into my phone during that time period and it got me a little distracted. There are also some pauses in my conversation (later in the interview) due to the phone beeping from that missed call.
For those not familiar with Iron Radio it is:
“FREE repository of more sports nutrition, weight training and bodybuilding talk than you can shake a stick at! It’s purpose is to preserve a ton of highly-rated content and allow it to be distributed for the benefit of the power sport public…Our mission is to provide free athletic education to all those who recognize a connection between knowledge, health and performance. We strive to clearly indicate which parts of the sites are ads and to make sure our podcast guests know our stance in advance. Visitors are under no obligation to patronize ANY entity shown on this site. Beyond site maintenance, a portion of all advertising dollars goes to charitable causes.”1
The shows are hosted by the following nationally recognized names:
Dr. Lonnie Lowery, a man who holds graduate degrees in both Kinesiology and Nutritional Science. Additionally, he has written for many major health, fitness and nutrition publications. Dr. Lowery is a noted lecturer who routinely travels the globe, giving presentations on how to enhance physical performance via nutritional interventions. In my opinion, Dr. Lowery is the best in the business with respect to applied sports nutrition.
Phil Stevens, is a competitive powerlifter and strong man competitor. He holds many powerlifting records. Last year he performed a 700 lb raw deadlift (raw refers to the fact that he wasn’t wearing any special attire to increase his performance.) In addition, Mr. Stevens is the director of operations at Staley Training Systems and founder of the Lift For Hope charitable organization.
Charles Staley is a highly recognized strength coach and creator of the Energy Density Training System and author of Muscle Logic. He has appeared on NBC’s The TODAY Show and The CBS Early Show. Coach Staley is also an avid Olympic style weightlifter, currently competing on the masters circuit.
Robert “Fortress” Fortney is a journalist in the fitness industry, a former competitive body builder and now competes in powerlifting. His writings are characterized by their “no-nonsense” attitude.
