This episode really gave me a lot to take home and think about. The honest breakdown Mike gave of his prep really helped me to examine my process and motivations with my natural bb’ing journey. 🙏

Might want to check the episode before you post it Brad schoebfelz is of course amazing but the gaps in dialog detract from his info.

A happy place listen for me. Really amazing information and great banter. Like having friends who want to talk about lifting right there with you. You know your real life friends hate it when you talk about lifting. Give them a break and listen to this podcast. Save your friends.

Mike Israetel’s potty mouth makes him sound like a dumb bozo. The host should reign him in.

This podcast gave out good content until the German guy started making comparisons to being r*ped, MULTIPLE TIMES in an episode. Culture is different everywhere but sexual assault is the same no matter where you’re from and it should never be a point of comparison. Obvious unfollow. There are other fitness podcasts out there with more self awareness.

Can a 50 year old guy from NY love two 30 something’s from Europe who lifts weights and have never met before? The answer is yes. Apart from the obvious of lifting weights and nutrition. You get to know these guys and root for them as well as accompany them on this journey of lifting and life. I hope that my children grow up to be like them in some respects. I have learned so much about lifting and nutrition from them and very grateful. Good dudes good people. If you ever come to New York dinners on me. Freddy V

It’s hard to find a podcast focusing on the improvement season. This one is very informative and relatable. So glad I found this!

About once in a blue moon, this podcast will have a useful insight. They rest of the time, it’s just pure drivel and sometimes outright misinformation. I think the hosts are well intentioned but just clueless.

It's obvious Steve puts extraordinary effort in covering salient bodybuilding and powerlifting topics and finding guests that are authentic and truly care about being a positive force in this world - the insights they bring to bear are mind-blowing every. single. time.

Steve is a great host, I am someone who is often turned off by podcasts that have bad hosts, regardless of the guests they have on, so it’s refreshing listening to someone like Steve who allows his guests to speak what they want/how much they want rather than trying to take full control of the interview. He asks thoughtful questions, isn’t long-winded and he almost never interrupts his guests. Highly recommend 👍

Excellent podcast with knowledgeable guests and great information!

A podcast from a group of very knowledgeable fitness experts, this podcast does require some prior knowledge of training and nutrition or a willingness to let go of previous misconceptions. Whatever reason you might have for listening to a fitness podcast, these guys will absolutely deliver information that is useful and applicable to any training regiment or goal. From those just looking better at the pool to anyone seriously considering or currently participating in professional level sports, there is something for you. Solid content, and you will not be disappointed.

Please get rid of Pascal. Steve is a brilliant host but Pascal just drags the show down. I just listened to him say he doesn’t understand why money was is important and that the inflation in Roman times destroyed peoples live savings so its an immaterial piece of paper that holds no value. He then proceeds to plug his valuable coaching services and ask for our money. Steve is better off on his own, best episodes are when Steve is just interviewing an expert and Pascal is left off.

I listen to a lot of fitness pods. I hold this one at the top. I just enjoy listening to these guys. They’re knowledgeable, without the arrogance you see on other pods. Just a top notch fitness pod.

For anyone looking to get the absolute most out of their hypertrophy training, this is without a doubt the best podcast out there! I literally look forward to this podcast coming out each week because it feels like I’m hanging out with my good friends Steve and Pascal every single time - even though we’ve of course never met. I think you’d be hard-pressed a better group of dudes who are more knowledgeable yet humble and down to earth as these two. Two thumbs up for Revive Stronger! 💪🏼

I recently added this to the circuit of podcasts I listen to on my walk to work or the gym. There is lots of general informative content, which is especially good when guests (Mike Israetel in particular) drop in. However, my favorite part of these podcasts are the moment where Steve and Pascal tie what is being taught back into their own training. I would highly recommend that strength and physique athletes of any level put this in their repertoire.

Look forward to it every week!

There’s countless hours of priceless information provided by this podcast, if you think you know everything you will quickly realize you don’t know anything once you listen to a few episodes! So grateful to have found it!

I really enjoyed the information in these podcasts. So much so that I actually subbed to it. But in a recent episode they failed to edit out the belching (numerous burps) of the person they were interviewing. That was enough for me to unsubscribe and leave this low review. Sorry guys, keep up the good work elsewhere - but please realize some people don’t want to have someone belch in their ears and edit that out.

This podcast is amazing great guests, great inverviewer. The people on this show are people you need to follow if you are into fitness, nutriton, or diets. Industry leaders are found on this podcast!! Just listen to it :D

Thank you Steve and Pascal for putting out such amaing work! Always enjoy listening to the podcast and learning something new!

Great info about all aspects of training, nutrition and competing.

I appreciate the honesty Steve and Pascal offer on the Improvement Season because it is easy to connect with on the human level. Failure and success both lead to growth as long as you step back and get a good view of the situation. Thanks for the reminder guys!

Steve is passionate about lifting and brings very well educated guests on. This is one of the best evidence based podcasts out there.

One of the best podcast. Really love the insights and the dynamic between Steve and Pascal.

Steve is always a curteous guest. He provides very in-depth interviews with some of the best practitioners in the industry. The diet tracking series with Pascal is also very entertaining to follow. The audio quality is always very good. Great podcast overall.

Steve does a great job of lining up top notch guests and generating topic driven discussion. There’s always a wealth of information to be learned from each episode. And the Revive to Stage (Improvement Season) podcast with Pascal is good in its own way. The perspective shared in Steve and Pascal’s weekly conversations is valuable for anyone looking to improve their fitness and nutrition.

Great podcast that brings guests to discuss the latest in science-based nutrition and training, but just as importantly, the hosts discuss its application to training and prep. I highly recommend it.

Steve Hall does an excellent job interviewing the brightest minds in the industry and giving out world class knowledge to all its listeners. These podcasts covers and breaks down training, nutrition, programming, and delve into the most relevant and recent research studies to give practical information to its listeners. This podcast is a must for anyone looking for the best information in the industry.

They are continuously throwing out content for free with no commercials or pushing products. This should be a paid for podcast with all the quality info they give away!

I’ve followed dr Mike for a bit now, and when I found your podcast my mind blew! I love how in depth he gets but still keeping it easily digestible. So much good information! I’m starting from the beginning but I’ll catch up! Thanks for all the great work, keep it up!!

These guys have come up with something hard to find nowadays: an accessible, detailed, yet ultimately intensely relatable source of knowledge about a really dense and difficult subject like natural bodybuilding. I find myself nodding along with their similar-to-mine personal experiences and their discoveries help me immensely in my workouts. Great guests, great QA sessions, and great hosts.

Steve Hall is a top notch host with a whole line up of incredible guests who never cease to amaze me. I really enjoy the Q and A's with Mike Israetel are one of my favs to listen to. -Chris The Physique Mechanic

Enjoy the podcast. As a trainer and fitness enthusiast, I enjoy the first person narratives on strength training, athletic performance and nutrition. One wish, I do wish there was more content for female listeners.

Hands down one of my favorite podcasts to listen to. Hours upon hours of high-quality, scientific, research-based information for listeners to delve into at their pleasure. Steve is also a super professional and helpful guy outside of the podcast and he certainly makes it entertaining. All around top class.

This is quickly becoming one of the best fitness podcasts out there! I just started listening and am suprised how fast I am going through the episodes. They also have Mike Israetel as a regular guess who is not only knowledgable but also super funny to listen to.

I have learned so much valuable info on the shows and they keep it light and fun. Mike Israetel is incredible as well so keep him coming back! Great show keep it up!

I've been weight training for 2 years. I have listened to many other podcasts which either cover very basic training or very advanced. The Revive Stronger podcast as well as their work online address excellent resources for someone like me who knows there's basics but wants to go to the next level. They bring on great guests, and cover the exact questions that someone with training experience would like to ask.

perfect fitness podcast. Very professional and put together very well.

Steve is an awesome host, constantly providing valuable content for bodybuilders of all experience and skill levels. This is one definitely my favorite podcast to listen to while at the gym!

This is one of my favorite podcasts on bodybuilding. Steve is a great interviewer and his guests are fantastic - every interview with Mike Israetel is such a treat as well as many others on the show. Informative and realistic. Keep up the great work - I'll be listening!

I stared watching this podcast on YouTube recently and the interviews are really great. Always a lot of great questions and answers and the host does a great job

Steve is awesome in really making technical information relatable and digestible to the average person. Dr Mike as a regular guest presents in an entertaining fashion that will give you some laughs and keep you coming back for more!

Incredibly informative and extremely detailed the content of these podcasts are absolutely brilliant!

I have a new show to listen to driving to and from work

Really one of the best podcasts out there for powerlifting and bodybuilding and general health and fitness information in general. Great host with great guests! Simply awesome information. Especially enjoy Mike Israetels podcasts. Keep up the great work!!

This podcast has totally changed my views on programming. The Q and A sessions with Dr. Mike Israetel are priceless. The Science behind his methods are bulletproof and have brought out of the confusion of internet programs that violate the scientific principle of strength training. I would vote for six stars if possible.

I think Steve Hall does a great job of letting his guests talk and elaborate. Too many other hosts focus on themselves too much, it's like why are you interviewing Eric Helms when all you want to do is talk about your own PHD and why you wanted to get one? Anyway, great information in these podcasts, I am constantly replaying them to really learn the concepts, especially when Dr. Mike Israetel is on. The only "negative" thing I've noticed is that I've been going on a lot more rants at the gym lately and dropping F bombs constantly when some idiots are doing wrist curls in the squat rack, not lifting with full range of motion, working until failure all the time, etc. It's bad because I'm not as jacked or smart as Dr. Mike so people just think I'm a crazy person ranting.

I love, love, love this show! I look forward to the new podcasts weekly. Especially with Dr Mike! I've learned so much and can't wait to learn more. Please keep them coming! I'm just a normal chick that likes to lift. I'm def on the RP wagon now with the female training template. I'm just a chick that likes to lift. No competing. Just competing with my own body and learning new ways to experiment to improve my body composition. These podcasts keep me learning. Thank you!

One of my favorite, go to podcast. Full of useful information for beginner to advanced. I especially love when Mike is on the show. The information is on point and I love the manner its delivered. By far one of the better muscle and fitness podcast available. Would highly recommend.
