About this listen

Free weights versus machines. The argument that never dies.

On this episode of The Powerbuilding 365 Podcast, Chris Marzarella breaks down the actual research behind strength, hypertrophy, and performance. We dig into the SAID principle, why strength is specific to the lift you train, why muscle growth doesn’t care about your loyalty to a barbell, and why hybrid programming is the smartest long-term strategy.

If you’re a powerlifter chasing numbers, a physique athlete chasing size, or just someone trying to train hard without burning out, this episode will give you clarity and a practical way to structure your training without ego getting in the way.

Strength is specific. Hypertrophy is flexible. Recovery is finite. Hybrid wins.
