Stan was such a huge help to me several years ago continuing into today. I started weight loss at 206lbs over 35 percent body fat and not healthy. I originally started with a keto approach which helped me drop the 60 pounds very effectively. Then I started following Stan and brought carbs back in and added the red meat, and my body completely changed from skinny fat to more lean and hard. Also, if you were like me and had headaches after training, definitely adding the salt was a game changer for my headaches and overall performance during my bodybuilding training. Salt salt salt!! I even add it to my Gatorade with EAAS during the workout (Milos made this popular, then Stan and John Meadows continued suggesting it) and it’s been great for those who work hard in the gym. I cannot thank Stan enough. He is always honest and shoots you straight. Thanks for having him on this week!

Stan Efferding is one of the first fitness personalities I started watching in 2016 when I first got into lifting. His video on sodium (Creaitne Sucks But This Works) was my introduction to the importance of sodium for lifting performance and overall health as well. Also thought The Kooler was a good idea even just as a general purpose cooler design, but nowadays trying to find an original model online is impossible even on his site (mostly want one for nostalgia sake; don't want the 2.0 model)

Love Stan! I think when it comes to the diet trends, it shows something we don’t talk about much. People are becoming so distrustful of the institutions (medical, big food/pharma) that maybe people are being driven to these fringe diets because they need help they are not getting. Maybe leaky gut issues/mental health issues, etc.

Crazy I found Stan from Derek like 5 years ago. Been eating the Vertical Diet ever since. Now he's on Derek's podcast. Pretty cool.

Could you do a video on Khalil Roundtree popping for DHEA. There’s info saying it doesn’t enhance performance, but also info the it does. Interested in your thoughts.

So what’s the difference between the vertical diet book and the 4.0 ebook? Definitely a different price range

I think one slight issue is that normal people try to replicate what pros do and expect the same results! While it’s good to find inspiration and look for tips, you should find what’s best for yourself based on goals and experience!

LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When Stan referred to one of the quadricep muscles as a brachioradialis I think perhaps he misspoke the brachioradialis is in the forearm and it flexes the elbow with a hand in neutral like a hammer grip. Maybe he meant rectus femoris

Love how Stan looks like Goldberg but sounds like George Clooney

2:02:28 exactly, and if I recall, in this particular study they tested once a week in compound movements the maximum number of reps in sets to failure, so that's about the most hilarious "the growth by doing nothing" -study argument. LOLOL

WAIT...Isn't this the same spot Michael Sartain does his podcasts? Is Derek in MOA now? Are we getting MOA X MPMD?

Two 🐐’s

Stan is such a great voice in a space filled with contradictions and sensationalism.

1:52:50 Brachioradialis is worked during leg extensions? That's a new one! I guess hammer curls work the rectus femoris ;)

The man, the myth, the legend
