Muscles time! Muscles time!

Today we look at the question, "How do we make the most of our time on the gym floor equate to the best physical performance in sport?" 

We chat about priorites, stretching, what it means to be stronger, plyometrics, general recommendations for training.

Disclaimer: Resistance training for sport performance is a LARGE topic that no one can do full justice in one hour. Ideas and recommendations in this podcast are GENERAL. We don't know you personally, so use your brain when you train.

We want to hear from you: holla at us at [email protected]

One Love,

Glen (and Sam)

M and M's,

We have the Phantom of Physiology, Darko Ficko, on the podcast this week. Darko is the most knowledgeable person you haven't heard of in the realm of enegy system economy (read: "cardio" or "endurance training", whatever that means).

Darko is a former provincial and national cyclist. Darko can be found at S6, and nowhere else, not even online. He really is a phantom.

Hey M and M's (that's a thing now),

This week we had the distinct pleasure of interviewing Jacob Roth. His new book, Straw Man: My Battle with Anorexia, chronicles his one year struggle with Anorexia.

Comical, throught provoking, and illustrative, Jacob reaches a spot in all of us that we know exists, but rarely directly look at. In the same page you will laugh and cry. For insight into yourself, and into the mind of an Anorexic, check out Jacob's new book. 

Pick up Jacob's new book, Straw Man: My Battle with Anorexia, at Amazon.com, on Kindle, and online at Chapters, and Barnes and Nobles.

Hey Movies and Muscles Squad,

Brad Thorpe joins us on the podcast today. Brad is the inventor of the internationally used ISOPHIT™, the world's first full body isometric exercise device. To say Brad is a wealth of knowledge is an understatement: most of his clients come see him because no one else has been able to help get them out of pain and into loving life again.

Brad discusses with us:

How exercise professionals are failing their clients,

Why the last thing you should do is cardiovascular exercise when beginning an exercise program,

What isometrics are,

How movement is inherently unstable and causes much of the health issues and disabilities that impact us today,

How isometric exercise burns more calories than traditional movement based exercise.

It's a banger, and we are definetly having Brad on again to discuss the physiology of isometrics and practical applications.

Next Episode is a full Movies podcast where Sam and I dive into summer movies we are stoked about!

Enjoy!

~Glen

This week, Sam and I had the pleasure of having our favourite Toronto Yoga Instructor, Serena Virtue, join us on the podcast.

Serena is a true gem, a real diamond in the rough. We chat about bouncing back from injuries, the core tenants of yoga, instagram and avatars, and favourite movies.

Namastae around for this one (get it?).

Who loves ya?

Hey Squad,

This week Sam and I discuss the movie 'Fat'. Fat follow's Ken, a man that won't change his ways. Addicted to food, and in poor health in general, he is headed on a one way path to an early grave. 

The movie hilights the very real struggles of food addiction and it's consequences. Sam and I have experienced the rollercoaster of food binging ourselves, likely why this movie hit us so hard. 

Join us as we discuss our thoughts on the movie, and it's narrative on food addiction and obesity.

With Love,

Glen

As always, there is something for everyone.
