The Scientific Strength Podcast is back! After a long hiatus, I explain why I'm bringing this project back to life - and how we can all benefit from this short podcast. This episode is just a short "re-introduction" to the Scientific Strength podcast.

In this episode of Scientific Strength, we'll look at a new study comparing conventional straight bar deadlifts to hexagonal bar deadlifts. There's very limited research with this comparison, so this exciting new study sheds light on some of the key differences that are important to understand. 

How safe is weightlifting and weight training? We'll discuss a research paper that analyzed the incidence of strength training injuries as compared to other sports and activities. A very interesting paper with surprising findings in this week's episode.

In this short episode, we'll look at the biomechnanical analysis of the conventional style deadlift vs sumo style. Is one more effiecient than the other and which is best for you? An older research paper had a few key findings. We'll cover them this week in Scientific Strength.

Does barbell deadlifting help alleviate low back pain? A NEW reserch study looks to evaluate the effectiveness of the barbell deadlift as an approach to improving low back pain. We'll look at the new study and discuss how this can potentially help to better apply the deadlift as a rehab intervention.

We deconstruct our 1st research paper in this episode and attempt to answer the question, does strength help us live longer? Find out what the science reveals.
