Austin Einhorn: Thinking Critically - Part 2 - Ep161
This is part 2 of this discussion. In this episode, Austin and I continue to slay some sacred cows in the fitness world such as “shoulders down and back” and “brace the core”. Austin explains why he doesn’t agree with these platitudes.
We also discuss at length the concept of standards of strength for all athletes.
We agree that cycling is fundamentally biomechanically similar to running up stairs, and this is why the foot and ankle are so important for cycling.
I also propose my timeless, non-controversial statement that foam is evil, and Austin shares his perspective on this line of thought.
We break down the idea of tensegrity patterns in the body and how we can use these as a map to understand and improve movement.
As our conversation ran over two hours, this episode will be released in two parts.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
