This has to be my favorite episode I've seen. Stan seems like such a genuine dude and is a legend for raw powerlifting especially. I remember mirin his vids from back in the day like many others.

[@TheJimMcD3SB]

Thanks, Jonnie! We think Stan had a huge impact on the direction of raw powerlifting.

[@MWSHATE]

Please feature on this channel, Jonnie!

[@FiestyPikachu]

Joelmws I think Silent Mike mentioned Jonnie in a powercast a couple months back and Mark replied something to the effect of 'Jonnie who?'

[@ianmcstruthers9937]

Jim, are you ever gonna invite Jonnie on the show?

[@DameonMacleod]

inv me. ill out lift anybody

[@contrarian4762]

Stan would be a great guest on Joe Rogan.

[@DanGamano]

Jon Brunton yes, let’s get him on. How?

[@binge90]

Best ever episode, and that's saying something. So much good, SIMPLE advice on such a range of topics. Well done.

[@dcollister440]

The best powercast....thank you guys so much for your knowledge and love of this lifestyle

[@reverenddisciple]

Best episode so far, thanks.

[@ferebeescott211]

Learned a ton from this Power Cast keep them coming! How about a Power Cast with Massthetics?

[@Tricapunk]

wow. so much more respect for Stan. awesome

[@jimglass4226]

About the subject on sleep. I need to wake up for work at 4 am every day. Its hard for me to get 8 hours straight. Would periodic naps throughout the day help?

[@JonathanSHoover]

LMAO at 45:40, should be a t shirt, Mark Bell "give the bikini girls more meat"

[@sebbbi91]

Bacon and eggs are nutrient dense.....yeah right dude. Plants have the highest nutrient density per calorie

[@jeremiash5180]

yeah and how much calories does 100g of veggies have vs 100g of redmeat/eggs?

[@ElectricZooinHD]

Stan Efferding is the the most interesting man in the world! Seriously, I just learned so much about nutrition, cardio, business, bodybuilding, powerlifting and life in general. Stan is the fucking man!

[@thesorrow312]

Get Dr. Israetel on, would be a great discussion.

[@ToosTraining]

Stan was my idol getting into raw lifting. Thanks for the podcast.

[@supershrek33]

This is a great show. Not the typical "dick talk" you guys sometimes get into. I've always admired Stan Efferding and was excited to see this posted. I learned a lot from listening to this podcast. Thanks guys, keep up the good work.

[@TheJimMcD3SB]

Thanks! There is only one Stan. Every podcast varies in terms of content from week to week. It's natural.

[@BasementBrandon]

Great episode

[@TheJimMcD3SB]

You and Stan have some things in common, my friend.

[@benson1ification]

Jim McDonald The hair?

[@TheJimMcD3SB]

Ainsley Harriott Ouch! lol. The understanding of what is and isn't your career.

[@Newbport849]

Your biggest fan, this is Stan.

[@andrewvincent89]

honestly, Stan Efferding is why I subscribed to this channel. I can listen to a guy who doesnt mess around and takes his craft seriously. In other words not a chucklehead

[@NorthStrongSC]

Every time I hear Stan talk in videos or on the powercast I'm always impressed by how articulate and smart he is. Good episode!

[@cingred13]

this is one of the most interesting podcasts u guys have done. It covered the old days, different styles of training, some nutrition info, Stans business history, and products. absolutely awesome. Keep it up

[@TheJimMcD3SB]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@kekistani2373]

bring jonnie candito or brandon cass over. I wanna hear brandon's take on breaking Coan's 900 deadlift

[@bradymichalek5656]

You guys should make wrist and knee wraps called "rhino wraps". That would sound awesome.

[@russiantothefridge]

holy fucking calf jim

[@jamiemcdougall492]

These powercasts are excellent, in my final year at university and having to work on data analysis, these powercasts have helped make the process a bit easier!

[@TheJimMcD3SB]

Glad we could help! Thanks for listening.

[@dnels493]

Stan Efferding is a damn nutritional genius. It was impressive listening to him effortlessly spill endless amounts of nutritional knowledge.

[@mikeypee2365]

Our paragon for dispelling the dumb meathead stereotype. Love the Rhino

[@juice01]

Move over Mark Bell, Stan Efferding is my new hero!

[@dariusjones7006]

stan was not feeling that bigger stronger fast joke at 56:20 lmao

[@Splashdown99]

This is one of my favorite episodes. Stan is an eloquent and genuine dude.

[@daztronic]

Awesome episode!! The Rhino is the MAN!

[@groovytony5568]

A ton of knowledge, thank you Stan :-)

[@jjcarley]

Stan's son is The Rock?!

[@FiestyPikachu]

He isn't the worlds strongest bodybuilder!!!!!! Brad Castleberry is!!!!!!!1111!!!! Just kidding Jim don't shout at me

[@mustangx218]

Such an entertaining episode listening to Stan talk!

[@TheJimMcD3SB]

Thanks for listening!

[@benwarner8995]

"If you've been to Wal-Mart you know we need smart people to have babies." -Silent Mike Lolz

[@x1NV1CTUSx]

Great podcast as usual! Stan is awesome!

[@TheJimMcD3SB]

Thanks!

[@davydaveS]

Marks voice abit to loud :(

[@TheJimMcD3SB]

Not that I noticed at all. Really no idea what or where you're talking about.

[@hatersupreme5968]

Wrecked

[@Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese1]

Jim McDonald im with McD.

[@davydaveS]

Jim McDonald you had one job...

[@connerh1950]

What are you even talking about?

[@backfru]

stepping over $100 bills to pick up nickels. BOOM. consistency, dedication, hard work. dude is a legend, well spoken, the real deal. massive respect for Stan, and I'm not even a bodybuilder

[@mattt539]

Great stuff. Why no talk of PED's? Not starting a war but would really like to hear the cycle this guy runs? Mentions trained 6 days a week with Flex...that wasn't because of his ability to bounce back that's PED's.

[@BeardsNBarbells]

As much as I love the usual Podcasts, this was the most informative, by far! Thanks Jim McD, keep up the amazing content!

[@matt7mjcify]

he gets 8 hrs of sleep? How i never get 8 hrs and i try( eg. lights out 9pm, room blacked out, no lights on 30-45 mins before bed, etc) just cant stay asleep for 8 hrs.

[@PBRF77]

Fantastic advice for anyone to take away. Everyone can learn something from this. Thanks for taking the time guys I really appreciate these discussions. This (like others have said) is one my favourites. Keep safe, keep strong. 'Salad is what my food eats’ - Lol genus.

[@AJ1990.]

Just read through all of the comments on here for some reason or another. Either way. It's interesting how positive and supportive the powerlifting community is. Actually it's amazing. It's good to be a part of. Great content here. Thanks for this.

[@humungus3]

Stan is an intelligent dude. I really enjoyed hearing his thoughts on things. But holy crap dude...4-5 pounds of red meat a day? I can't even imagine how nasty those dumps must have been.

[@johnndamascene]

This was absolutely fantastic. I had the wrong impression of stan before this. Sounds like a knowledgable, hard working, and humble dude. Massive respect.

[@Plorrry]

Tell Stan he should market his cooler to trade workers. Theyre always complaining about that crap.

[@lcdode]

Wow I had to keep stopping this video and going back as to not miss anything. So much great info from Stan and a great powercast all round. Thanks heaps!

[@HM-pg4er]

this episode has too much valuable information , I don't like it haha but true by far my favourite episode.

[@Pulsa]

Stan really seems like he'd be one of those guys with a Black Belt in iron if there were such a thing. Such a great episode, very soft spoken and well read.

[@axilleaskazuya2014]

amazing one too much useful information and very helpful with hi diet approach instead of the coockie cutter diets, need to bring mark phillipi one day, or ross enamait

[@oliverkutzner3543]

on of THE best PowerCasts ! Stan is such an smart guy ! nice to watch / listen his experience :)

[@michaelrae7615]

Ive probably watch this 50 times,very cool im a big fan of stan efferding.

[@Skullz_E]

For someone who drinks far over a gallon of water per day, what do u recommend to increase sodium levels during times I'd down a jug of water?

[@mindoverallfitness]

Stan is so well spoken and incredibly knowledgeable. Very cool podcast.

[@vcuteverything]

Wow this one is quite dense with information! Stan is very intellectual and to see every him bring the knowledgeable side out of everyone else was cool.

[@VinMotors0613]

Stan aka "raw steel" aka "Da truth"! I can watch this daily! Very motivating in and out the gym!

[@ndog1234765]

One disagreement with the red meat argument. Many people of European decent have hemochromatosis, so heme sources of iron are not good for them. I do agree with the nutrient density though

[@MellonVegan]

Wait. Stan is gonna be at FIBO? Damn, I need to find that rhino. Is he gonna be at some special stall or just visiting? Does anyone have info on that? :D

[@lordgains8303]

The knowledge this guy has is inspirational. Great pod cast. I learned a lot form it.

[@johnmartin7079]

I have to say this has, by far, been my favorite episode. I listen at work so yes I did hear the entire thing. Awesome job and thanks.

[@gulrajbains966]

Awesome great video!!! Watched the whole thing with great enthusiasm!

[@travisscott6257]

I wish you guys could just have Stan and/or Layne Norton on every week.

[@ilie92md1]

Shows what mind application can do. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@robindebusca]

Can anyone link me to the creatine study Stan mentioned (no significant effects after 90 days)?

[@egdcuyagecuysadgcuys]

Great episode! Good to see Silent Mike being silent for a change.

[@riddickblue]

Best powercast yet! Stan is a very intelligent guy with great advice

[@TheMclovinMcmuffin]

Stan is such a great dude. Can't say enough good things about this man!

[@soulution24]

It allmost seems like mike and mark are afraid of him ..the respect is huge

[@williamm9088]

Stan is such a boss, so much respect to that guy. Great powercast

[@ozzy1873]

one of my favourites. absolute pleasure to watch

[@deadlift4life1]

Much respect for Stan. Such a wise and humble person

[@AdrianBrubacher]

Best one yet. Can't wait for the one with Chris Duffin

[@muzzaponders3688]

Why do you all wear headphones, do you have a producer giving directions, or do you have music playing in the back ground I am a radio presenter and dont wear headphones anymore ,esp when voice tracking. It just seems weird to see you all wearing cans...... if you were skyping maybe..... Just a thought guys. Great setup btw

[@TheJimMcD3SB]

Well this over three years ago, and this show has ended now, but we had used Skype pretty regularly up to this point. The cans are 100% required for Skype. Beyond that, the headphones helped people who were not used to talking into a microphone stay on mic, and be less likely to get too loud and clip. I was producing the show, and by the end I was the only one still monitoring (and I was wearing in-ears rather than cans).

[@CDizzlePwnage]

I think one of the only times seen mark looking small at the table!

[@joneth781]

Stan is so knowledgeable he's a cool dude love to meet him

[@John-qi9cj]

Great Episode. Stan is brilliant.

[@ketoevangelist3214]

stan's the man! my diet lately is mostly just eggs and red meat, not in that order

[@BackyardBarbellClub]

This is the best episode yet. Stan is so great. Thanks guys!

[@thrill702]

another great episode! Thank you!

[@aaronjames9031]

Another best-of show. Stan is the best. Love this show.

[@quangfps]

Jim McD actually sounds young lol.

[@Vonghoulstrength]

What did Stan set on the front of the table at the very end?

[@andynopants]

Anyone know which other episode features this man!? Amazing podcast!

[@TheJimMcD3SB]

Episode 70 on here is a rerun of our first, audio only conversation with Stan.

[@BigDeaner604]

liked before i even started to watch.

[@troytroupetraining4546]

Im still here im 25 trying to retire when im 35

[@duckslayer11000]

Stan is awesome to listen to. Great episode

[@whiskeyblood7258]

Mike o hearn would be a great guest! And the commute wouldn't be terrible. Let's see it happen!!!

[@TheJimMcD3SB]

Mike was on episode #7, which was audio only: supertraining.tv/2013/10/mark-bells-powercast-episode-7-mike-ohearn/

[@lokalio87]

[@garrettwebster6349]

[@MrHotmoses]

[@ILOVESQUATS]

Enjoyed this episode. Keep it up!

[@Plorrry]

Stan looks like the comic book bane.

[@zThaRipper7]

those 5 dislikes must be a mistake..

[@Srstanrod]

Rhinos are smart as fuck man

[@edfives]

Thank you for a great episode. I'm 40 and was taking notes.

[@TheJimMcD3SB]

You're welcome.

[@juanch3z]

Great episode! Learned a lot!

[@Patrick023M]

Great videos! Thanks for the great information! I was just wondering, will you guys be attending the FIBO exhibition in Germany?

[@TheJimMcD3SB]

Stan will be there this year. We would love to in the future.

[@Patrick023M]

aah okay, I hope to meet you guys one day. Thanks for the reply

[@93hopkinsonr]

Great video! Stan is a savage.

[@harrygray6902]

Hey Jim, Any chance you could ask Mark (or if you know yourself that would be great) what to do when dieting and your belt doesn't feel like it does anything any more? Cheers Man, Also great Vid as always

[@TheJimMcD3SB]

Tighten it up or get a smaller one?

[@harrygray6902]

I get that but even when tight feels like there is no added support, in fact i am just as efficient wearing it as not wearing it

[@cubworld]

I was still listening lol!

[@fredpusatere4322]

no u have know life :(
