S.2 Ep.19 - Mobility v Stretching

Science News: Strength Training Burns fat! (Duh!), and want better, deeper sleep? Train later in the evening at high intensity.

Stretching v Mobility

Stretching: Improves flexibility of the muscle

You don't get longer muscles
Increase Stretch tolerance of muscles
Works by allowing the stretch reflex (golgi tendon organ) to allow to reach a bigger range of motion. 

Types of stretch: Static, Active, Passive, Ballistic, Dynamic

Dangers: Pushing the joint past it’s normal range of motion can lead to damage to the joint and connective tissue - tendons and ligaments. 

Mobility: definition is the ability to achieve extended ranges of motion - flexibility and strength through the full range of motion. 

Good mobility:

Reduce risk of injury
Greater movement
Improved performance - training or sports
Joint health and longevity

To improve mobility: Complete exercises which use the full range of motion - full squats, hinge in deadlift etc. Full range push and pull movements - presses and pull downs etc. Yoga is great for mobility as it’s strength of holding positions, as well as flexibility of muscles

The Mature Muscle Podcast - S.2 Ep.17

INTERVIEW: Gold Medalist Weightlifter, Delroy McQueen

In todays episode we chat to Del Mcqueen. Del won three gold medals at the 2002 Commonwealth Games - Snatch, Clean and Jerk and the Combined total. The latter earned him a Commonwealth Record which still stands today.

After a few years, he switched his skills to powerlifting, excelling in that too - with several big wins to his name. After a spell as Personal Trainer, he now competes and coaches other strength athletes.

We talk to him about competition, training, nutrition, mindset and how he’s adapted all of these as he’s become a more mature athlete at 46.

S.2 Ep.16 - Calorie Shifting & Carb Cycling

Science News: Metabolism changes with age,  just not when you might think.

Phil rants about the ridiculous use of sweat-suits!

The main discussion focusses on the practice of cycling carbs, and calorie shifting. 

Cycling carbs basically means increasing and decreasing the amount of carbohydrates you take in per day, depending on your training.

Calorie shifting is where instead of holding a deficit - the total calories taken in daily is "zig zagged", for example for certain periods you'd follow a lower calorie plan, then increase the calories for a short time, similar to a re-feed. We discuss the pros and cons of these methods.
