A longtime listener recently dug through his collection of Joe's old Ask Joe Q&A's, T Nation articles, and EliteFTS posts from over 20 years ago… and he challenged Joe to critique his own advice! In this episode, Joe revisits five classic topics - including box squats, vertical jump training, free weights vs. machines, strength vs. hypertrophy principles, and full-body training splits - to answer one simple question: "Would 2026 Joe D. give the same advice as 2006 Joe D.?" Some recommendations stood the test of time almost exactly as Joe originally taught them… while a few have evolved after two more decades of coaching thousands of athletes, lifters, and everyday clients. It's an honest, entertaining look at what experience reinforces, what research has refined, and why the best coaches are never afraid to re-evaluate their own beliefs. *For a full list of Show Notes with Timestamps visit www.IndustrialStrengthShow.com IMPORTANT LINKS Lean Bastard VIP List DeFranco's Nutritional Supplements
