If you’re familiar with my books, blog, and even my line of supplements, Legion, you know I’m all about the science, baby!
Anecdote and experience are useful, of course, but it can be easy to get fooled. There are too many variables at play, and psychological trickery can wreak havoc without us even realizing it.
That’s where science comes into play. It can give us a more objective look to help us spot real trends and pinpoint mechanisms. And I have a lot of respect for researchers and scientists like Dr. Bill Campbell, who I’m excited to bring onto this episode of the podcast.
In case you’re not familiar with Dr. Campbell, he’s a professor of Exercise Science and the Director of the Performance & Physique Enhancement Laboratory at the University of South Florida, who’s also published more than 150 scientific papers.
In other words, Dr. Campbell is busy running studies that test questions with answers we all want to know.
As the author of several books, including the Sports Nutrition: Enhancing Athletic Performance textbook, he also has an inclination for simplifying complex subjects, which proves particularly practical and useful for “lifestyle bodybuilders” such as myself and many of you listeners.
In this conversation, Bill and I chat about . . .

  • Specific areas where the scientific literature is lacking
  • How he’s helping athletic people look and feel even better
  • His evidence-based tips for getting from lean to leaner
  • Why you might want to eat more protein (even if you already eat a lot)
  • Diet breaks
  • What he’s currently studying in the lab
  • And more . . .
So if you want to hear from a real physique scientist lab-dweller who’s truly “in the trenches,” press play and let me know what you think
