Garage Gym Athlete

Evan Brand has a a lot go great information to share about being a nutritional practitioner, and getting into the science of nutrition.

This week we are back with Chris Morgan. Its been about a year since we chatted with him last. He has some great mindset advice and we also talk about his epic Murph goal and training.

This week we were asked how we use the data we collect from our baseline testing and how it effects each cycle of programming.

This weeks study is looking at if you should do resistance training to failure or just shy of failure. We have discussed this in the past doing max effort sets or just shy of max effort and it may be best to stop training to failure. Then we are each talking about out favorite ways to kill comfort. Killing comfort is not a new concept here, we love physical and mental toughness challenges. And this weeks workout may be one of the physically and mentally toughest ones we have, which is Broken Arrow.

This weeks cooldown comes from an interview from Dr. Dan Siegel and how to build a better mind.

This week we are talking with Brian Liu and his long garage gym journey. We talk about some of his training challenges, the programs he hoped around on and more.

This week we were asked if we under sell our warm up routines and if we could focus more on pushing those. Every day our programming has a warm up but we also know everybody warms up differently before they workout. So we go into our warm ups here, some tips on warming up, and why we may be underselling our warm up. We always want our athletes to warm up and give a pathway on how to best warm up because it is very important to do.

This weeks study is examining the difference in muscle protein synthesis between vegan protein and animal protein. The results may surprise some. Then this weeks topic is on our morning drinks and what we drink in the morning or before we workout.

This weeks Cooldown is from an interview with Dr. Lepley and how to rehab knees and joints.

This week we are talking with Stephen Bowers about how his training impacts his job and vice versa. We also talk about his training goals, obstacles and more.
