Another first in Beast Fitness Radio history! For episode 76, Austin and myself decided to do a LIVE Q&A and answer questions as they came in! By the end of the episode we still have a little over 2 dozen questions unanswered so we apologize in advance if we didnt get to your question...but man was it fun! We covered some really good topics such as best sleep aids, slow/long acting insulins for health vs growth, the most overstated detrimental factor in the fitness world, Melanotan II and insulin sensitivity, and more!

Putting out education as frequently as we can! God I love doing this podcast! :) In this episode I cover Lutein and overall eye health (as well as some interesting aspects of lutein like its ability to inhibit a compound that inhibits lipolysis and much more.) Then, Austin covered a topic that will hit home with a lot of people...HEART HEALTH! And even further more, some important markers that you may not know about. So sit back, relax, and enjoy another educational segment of Beast Fitness Radio!

 

~References From the Lutein Segment~   1. Lutein Leads to a Decrease of Factor D Secretion by Cultured Mature Human Adipocytes https://www.hindawi.com/journals/joph/2015/430741/   2.

A Lutein-Enriched Diet Prevents Cholesterol Accumulation and Decreases Oxidized LDL and Inflammatory Cytokines in the Aorta of Guinea Pigs http://jn.nutrition.org/content/141/8/1458.long   4. Lutein and zeaxanthin concentrations in plasma after dietary supplementation with egg yolk. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10426702   5.

IFPA Pro and new NPC competitor Matt Holcomb came on to talk about the benefits of taking an extended offseason! Austin and myself have said time and time again how important it is to take a longer offseason in order to gain an appreciable amount of muscle. So having Matt come on and preach the same thing turned into a great discussion! We covered the basic benefits, how long should you be in a surplus for, when to mini-cut, different methods to restore insulin sensitivity, real work expectations (in terms of bodyweight to lean weight added), and a lot more! Support Matt by following him on Facebook and Instagram (and soon YouTube!)

Austin and myself thought that since the previous debate episode on High VS Low Volume training was such a big hit, we should probably cover training progression as a whole. This is a topic that we didnt see many people discussing and so obviously, we wanted to go fairly in depth with it! We covered how you should progress from a beginning trainee, to an intermediate trainee, to finally an advanced trainee. There are a lot of variables to consider so we had separate categories to give you the best framework possible to help you with your own (or your clients') programming!

More and more education coming at ya! I opened this episode off talking about the health shake that I posted on my Instagram account (including whats in it, dosages, uses, application, application, and applicable research.) Then in part 2, Austin covered a tremendously LONG list of topics including the following:

Stubborn fat protocol
Sibutramine and metabolic adaptions
Artificial sweeteners and water retention
Nutrient timing
Insulin/GH for muscle growth
Basing insulin use on BG numbers
Using a log book
Post-meal blood sugar numbers
Morning meal timing
Foods for pre-show carb up
Stacking anti estrogens
Receptor site saturation
High frequency versus low frequency

 

So sit back, learn, and enjoy!
