Hi Folks!
Welcome to episode #1 of The Strength of Evidence Podcast. Our first episode lays the ground-work for future episodes, as we discuss important topics such as the scientific method, what it means to be “evidence-based,” and logical fallacies. We will draw from these methodologies as we hash out topics pertaining to strength, conditioning, and rehabilitation in subsequent podcasts. Here is the link to the mp3:

Last, we leave you with a video by Tom Naughton, where he discusses many similar topics that we did in our podcast. We think you’ll really enjoy it as he injects a good deal of humor into the presentation.
That’s all for episode #1. In episode #2, Jon and Bret will be discussing “To Squat or Not to Squat;” a popular debate in certain Strength & Conditioning circles.
