Eat Train Prosper

Today’s episode is a pilot for a new type of episode we may include monthly on research review roundups where we weigh in on some notably practical research in nutrition and training.

First up a very cool study demonstrating that metabolic rate pretty much stays consistent throughout our 50’s. Then we dig into a very popular topic right now with three studies suggesting that training at longer muscle lengths promotes greater hypertrophy than shorter muscle lengths. Potential uses and practicality for drop sets and intensity training, and then some options and preferences on training split and frequency when strength is the priority.
 
 If you enjoy this style of episode please reach out to either Bryan or Aaron on Instagram and let us know if we should do these semi-regularly.  As always, thanks for listening! ✌️

Today we take a bit deeper of a dive on practical progression options for when to increase (or decrease) loads. We cover Dynamic Double Progression a bit deeper and why the rep drop-off model may be a more appropriate progression model for you.

Additionally we cover if you should be rearranging your exercise order in your program to give greater rest between the same body parts.

Then conversation then shifts into how to increase the length of your training blocks and extending potential total hypertrophic stimulus before deloading by reducing fatigue accumulation.

We wrap up with which type of training: strength or hypertrophy would be most optimal for periods of considerable weight manipulation. Both increasing and decreasing. As always, thanks for listening! ✌️

Today’s episode is a special edition Q&A from other nutrition coaches, in-person and online trainers about how we approach certain client cases, protocols, and limiting mindsets. Ranging from psychological and priority questions to reading client bloodwork, digestion issues, and how to transition into the online coaching space from being strictly an in-person trainer.
 
 If you’re an established coach or looking to get into the space feel free to DM us question specifics to be covered on future episodes.

As always, thanks for listening! ✌️

This week Bryan and Aaron recap the end of Bryan’s diet, his photoshoot comparing the progress he made from the previous year, and an honest critique from Pro Natural Bodybuilders Alberto Núñez and Brian Minor. Aaron shares details about his gut protocol for improving lingering digestion issues as a result of the travel lifestyle, new low weigh-ins during his recovery diet and associations between relative body fat percentages and their impacts on bloodwork markers. Thanks for listening! ✌️

Today we have Zac and Josh of Data Driven Strength on the podcast and we get real into the weeds on what research supports for lifting big weights...and a little bit of getting jacked as well. Zac and Josh take us through what monitoring velocity in your strength training can provide you, the differences in approach for training for strength vs. muscle hypertrophy, and how training at lower RPE and higher RIR can be neurologically beneficial for you strength adaptations. It was really cool to get the time to have this conversation from guys who are deep into the research, application, AND participation in where research meets lifting weights. Thanks for listening! ✌️

After nearly 4.5 months of dieting Bryan is in his final days so we cover his “peaking” strategy he plans to employ heading into his photoshoot. We also discuss upcoming strength training cycles we both will transition to during this fall season after exclusively training for hypertrophy for 2+ years. We wrap up with long-term specialization cycles of 12 months or even longer and when and why this might be appropriate for you as opposed to a traditional 8 to 12 week specialization. As always, thanks for listening! ✌️

The end of Bryan's 8 week ab training experiment and seemingly mysterious new diet low weigh-ins. Could there be more to why your weight fluctuates besides the previous days calorie totals? Which psychological considerations should you take into account on where training and nutrition fit into your current lifestyle and priorities? In a conversation a bit more meta and introspective than usual, Bryan and Aaron share how their priorities and considerations have shifted over time. Thanks for listening! ✌️

In this episode we speak on a few tips for longevity for the tricep joint specifically, when setting a hard deadline for objective eating outcomes actually become beneficial, and future plans to sprinkle back in some dedicated strength-focused training. Then we get into the topic for the day on fake natty accusations that we have encountered. What our perceptions are on this, misunderstandings many guys have that lead them to believe this, and how this can ultimately hold you back. As always, thanks for listening! ✌️

Today on the podcast we have our friend Rachel Gregory and we are talking about women and building muscle.

Rachel is a Board-Certified Nutritionist, Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Podcaster, and founder of MetFlex Life. She is also the author of the international best-selling book, "21-Day Ketogenic Diet Weight Loss Challenge."

We get into some of her background, transitioning from CrossFit style training into a more physique-focused approach (very similar to our own) and then dig into the bulk of the conversation around women and building muscle, training intensity, fears of “getting bulky” and how approaches can change as your horizons expand.
