Is this body size dependent? Seems like it would have to be? Run with it Robb! Second Quicky: Everyone parrots ‘don’t get in the cold plunge immediately after your strength workout, it’ll blunt hypertrophy!’ What percentage of lifters are gaining ANY size anyways, after their first several years of lifting? I lift for health/enjoyment/maintenance as I imagine 90% of people do, no matter what they tell themselves about ‘getting huge’. In that sense, is everyone fearful of cold plunge after lifting for no reason?? (In shape, 38 years old, 165, been 165 for 10 years and will likely be 165 til I’m 80 and croak) You the man!   Perfect Aminos Sam says:  Hi guys! Like so many others, I have followed you from the early days of CrossFit and remain a loyal follower. I've been a CF gym owner for about 13 years now - 11 years with a "normal" affiliate and the last three as a "seniors only" affiliate - over 100 members ages 55 to 93! My challenges are very different, specificall with diet with these guys. This is generation of some normal "from farm to table eating" and some "margarine over butter believers". Some days my head explodes from the things I learn they believe!. Recently I was challenged by a new athlete with a bevvy of medical conditions. Our first attack with these people is their protein levels. I know was people age their appetite for physical chewing dietary protein wanes so we try to get creative. But this one stumped me. I'm familiar with BCAA's and EAAs but have never used this addition as contributing to dietary protein intake. In other words if someone consumes 10g of EAAs in a powdered supplement form 2-3 times a day, I would not have counted that as 20-30 grams of protein from our dietary goal. Am I wrong? I'm currently being challenged on a supplement created by a local physician called "Perfect Aminos". (link: https://bodyhealth.com/products/perfectaminoxp-drink-powder ) I'd love your read on this. My fear is what I'm hearing them claim is "I'm getting my protein with no calories". Maybe I'm too old school for this new age stuff! Thanks again for all you guys do to bring sanity to the ever-changing world of health and nutrition!   Micro dosing testosterone Jeannie says: First i absolutely love your podcast.
