Bobby's back with an episode dedicated toward intermittent fasting. He gives his personal history with IF and then summarizes a recent New England Journal of Medicine article that discusses IF as well. Topics include IF's effects on energy metabolism, health and longevity, neuroprotective effects, and overall benefits.

BLUF: IF is a health intervention that will not only help you lose weight but also help you live longer and healthier.

HAPPY NEW YEAR and WELCOME TO THE..ok enough with all CAPS, welcome back to the first episode of the Weekly Dispatch for 2020.

This week in the wake of the US strike on Qasem Soleimani and resulting Iranian missile attack, we want to do a brief segment on who MG Soleimani was, what impact he had on Iranian activity in Iraq and across the Middle East, and why the US ultimately decided in authorizing the strike, resulting in his death.

Guess whose back? Back again, THAT's RIGHT FRIENDS - the Weekly Dispatch makes its triumphant return after two weeks of time spent away from the microphone in order to bring you this week's coverage of all that is good and wonderful...wait wrong PODCAST. This week is all about impeachment and other less fun news.

On the show, we'll talk about the testimony of four individuals who appeared before the House Intel Committee. It should be noted, since the release of the PODCAST, new testimony was released from a senior aide to VP Pence and then a member of the Office of Management and Budget about the withholding of aid to Ukraine tethered to an investigation into VP Biden's son.

We'll talk some Google and googliness and Iran...definitely teased releasing the election results in Afghanistan and never touched that one, so tune in next week for the saga!

We'll start with a 12 week hypertrophy ("functional bodybuilding"), 8 week tempo, and finish off with a 16 week strength block before we transition into our "in-season" programming.

In this episode, Bobby discusses the overall breakdown of the off-season cycle and goes into further detail about the hypertrophy mesocycle.
