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)

Instagram Questions & Answers:2 | ETP#6

In this second Q&A style episode Bryan and Aaron cover more questions asked from their Instagram followers. The questions are a solid balance between training, nutrition, and some of the differences in how men and women can approach training respective to their physiological differences.
Questions Answered:

If I’m looking to maintain a lean physique but am confused if I’m eating enough or not, is it better to hire a nutrition coach and stick with a basic strength training program or to hire someone who does both nutrition and writes training programs. And if hiring a nutrition coach - are there any credentials one should look out for?
Can you discuss the reasons and/or benefits of why you train twice daily? Trying to understand it practically, as well as physiologically.
Please discuss periodization with regards to bulking, cutting, et. What are optimal periods for each?
Why does lifting weight feel heavier/lighter depending on the training day?
Are training and nutrition principles the same for males/females. Do differences in hormones impact results?
