Doug practices full-time emergency medicine with Blue Ridge Emergency Physicians and owns, Ultimate Exercise, where he and his instructors continue to explore the limits of exercise through their personal training of clients. Doug is one of the leading experts in high intensity strength training and provides consultancy services to help you achieve your health and body composition goals, setup a home gym, or start a HIT facility HERE.

This episode is Doug's response to Should I Bulk Up (#157). In episode 157, I described how I was feeling insecure about my physique and embarked on a calorie surplus alongside my training regime to attempt to stimulate more muscle growth. In this latest episode (#161), Doug describes precisely why he thinks this is a bad idea.

This is one of the most important episodes I've published on the pursuit of optimal muscle gain and strength training over the long term. If you are a hardgainer or been doing HIT for a long time, you will find this enlightening, hilariously honest and very helpful. I am so excited and honoured to be able to bring you this.

"By the time we get to where we are .... I think what you experience is .... stimulus, recovery, nothing. Stimulus, recovery, nothing. Stimulus, recovery, nothing. Stimulus, recovery, nothing. Stimulus, recovery, nothing. Stimulus, recovery ... then suddenly something happens."

~ Dr Doug McGuff

In this episode, we discuss:

• How gaining body fat can potentially reduce muscle mass
• How perhaps calorie intake should be organic
• The truth about Doug's own genetics and training failures (this will shock you!)
• How to spot if you're over training
• … and much, much more

It's been a while since I recorded a podcast on my own training and diet journey. In this podcast, I talk about my own physical insecurities and new approach to diet to see if I can add more muscle mass whilst minimising fat gain. Since recording this, I was reminded that muscle gain, at my level, is a marathon, not a sprint. Therefore, I'm looking to continue this experiment for the rest of 2018 to see what happens. I will keep you posted!

This is my current A/B routine performed once every 3-5 days. The details of the protocol are provided in the podcast. For images and instruction for each exercise, please see Project Kratos and some links below:

A Routine

• Pushup
• Pull up or chin up (alternated)
• Single legged squat (alternate starting left or right leg)
• Neck extension
• Neck flexion

B Routine

• Seated row
• Overhead press
• Leg raises
• Single leg dumbbell calf raises
• Prone trunk extension
• Neck lateral

Highlights:

• How to think about optimising muscle hypertrophy over the long term
• How to balance the pursuit of muscle gain with the preservation or improvement of health span
• Why cultivating a healthy perspective toward your physical appearance is really important
• …. and much, much more

Simon Melov, PhD, heads the Buck Institute's Genomic Core, which explores the role of the energy-making units inside cells, the mitochondria. Simon's research focus is in identifying molecular hallmarks of aging to guide the development of anti-aging therapies.

Melov received his PhD in Biochemistry from the University of London in the UK. He held positions at Emory University in Atlanta and at the University of Colorado in Boulder before joining the faculty of the Buck Institute as an associate professor in 1999.

Other research interests include the age-related bone disorder osteoporosis, age-related heart disease, the role of methylation in the aging human genome, and developing molecular techniques to better understand single cell changes with age.

In a landmark study, Melov and collaborators showed that the more vigorous pattern of gene expression found in young adults could be partially restored in older adults who followed a strength training exercise program for 6 months.

Highlights:

• The benefits of resistance training for health and anti-aging
• What exercise is considered optimal for health-span and longevity
• The pros and cons of rodent-based studies
