The New Hype: Hybrid Training | ETP#168

Eat Train Prosper

09/17/24 • 80 min

In this episode, we dive into hybrid training, which is all the rave right now. We point out that hybrid training doesn’t have to mean running, and that your goals should guide your approach. Bryan shares how cutting back on both cardio and lifting volume has worked wonders for him. We also talk about picking the right modality for you and the benefits of zone two training for health. Starting slow and ramping up intensity is key, and it’s important to adjust based on feedback and potentially even getting some lactate testing done. We also go over how to track progress in cardio training and discuss the challenges of balancing strength and cardio. We share tips on using lower rep ranges for better body composition and performance, plus how to structure your workouts for the best results.

Dr. Dave Maconi and Abel Csabai | ETP#7

Eat Train Prosper

02/16/21 • 84 min

On today's episode we have our first ever guests, Dr. Dave Maconi and Abel Csabai. Dave and Abel are both very knowledgable about training and nutrition and have valuable insights regarding each.
Topics Explored:
1. General thoughts on how much the genetic potential of strength and hypertrophy are related?
2. Conjecture on some potential "strength numbers" that genetically average people could expect to hit over a training career.
3. General discussion of epigenetics generation to generation (as well as whether there may be any potential impact from "nurture" throughout early part of life on muscular potential). What have we seen?
4. Training volume: It seems we have all gone from higher volume to a more moderate volume of training over the last few years.
5. Psychology of the “majority of days” being a certain way when dieting. The 5:2 (deficit/maintenance) Bill campbell approach versus a 2:5 approach (steeper deficit/maintenance) or even a 1:6 approach (fasted/maintenance)

Do Rep Ranges Matter For Building Muscle? | ETP#88

Eat Train Prosper

10/04/22 • 69 min

In this episode, we discuss rep ranges for hypertrophy. So long as you are training hard do they even matter? Some people will say they do not matter. However, here on Eat Train Prosper, it’s quite clear that making blanket statements isn’t how we do things. So we cover the commonly bracketed rep ranges, the pros and cons for each and in what circumstances we think the rep ranges matter in pursuit of gains and other common weight lifting situations.

Nutrition Through The Years | ETP#87

Eat Train Prosper

09/27/22 • 52 min

Following up on episode #86 from last week looking back through the years of our time spent lifting weights, this week we have a very similar episode but instead covering what our nutrition has looked like throughout different phases.
I think this episode can be of a lot of help to see that we both had large periods of where our nutrition was far from perfect and how we evolved independently to find ourselves where we currently our today with similar approaches to eating.
As always, thanks for listening! ✌️

Going From Intermediate to Advanced| ETP#67

Eat Train Prosper

05/03/22 • 60 min

What are the key factors to break past the intermediate lifter phase? It seems that many get stuck in the lifetime intermediate stage. So, how do you go from intermediate to advanced?
In today’s episode, we break down this very question. We approach this question from various aspects both inside and outside of training. In addition to providing our personal anecdotes which have helped us breakthrough that intermediate plateau. We also provide some of the pitfalls of why some never do.
Thanks for listening! ✌️
