Fight Strength Podcast

In this week's episode, we feature the S&C juggernaut behind all of the killers coming out of Henry Hooft's HK365 gym in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Dr. Corey Peacock holds several titles, degrees and qualifications, not the least of which being Director of Sport Science for the Fight Science Institute.

Some of the topics discussed are Kamaru Usman's preparation as an alternate for the UFC's upcoming welterweight championship bout featuring Tyron Woodley vs. Darren Till at UFC 228. In an unprecedented move, the UFC brass have covered all bases by paying Kamaru Usman to weight in and be ready for the title shot if one of the combatants miss weight on fight day.

We also chat about baseline testing for fighters, autoregulation & training schedules, analysing data for fight athletes, future plans for FSc-I as well as All in Strength as a tool for coaches to efficiently program for their fighters.

The guys also chat about some exiting new changes to the Fight Science Institute (FSci-I), and announce that the Fight Strength Podcast is now the official podcast of the Fight Science Institute with Dan and Mac being inducted as staff members of FSci-I.

Other topics of conversations include Fsc-I' first ever seminar to be held in New York on November 4th 2018! Purchase your tickets to the event HERE! Also, the Seminar video from Phil's Australian tour is available for purchase here!

We are back with one of our most informative episodes in show history. Along with Phil answering questions from listeners, our quest was Cal State-Fullerton professor, and strength & conditioning expert, Dr. Andy Galpin.

Galpin dropped some serious knowledge bombs about how the body works in relation to the science of S&C. He broke down what lactic acid is really all about, gave his thoughts on the common mistakes made by S&C coaches, misconceptions MMA fighters have on their bodies, and much more. It is a must listen for individuals really looking to be informed on the science of fitness.

Episode #50 is finally here! What a milestone! What a privilege and an honour to be joined AGAIN by Canadian Strength Coach and Nutritionist, Dan Garner! Hardcore followers of this show will remember Dan Garner's first appearance as a guest back on episode #19 of the Fight Strength Podcast!

This time around, we had the opportunity to get Dan in the studio in-person during his Australian Seminar tour. Unfortunately due to that pesky little thing called timezone difference, we were not able to sync availabilty between Phil Daru in Florida with the boys in Melbourne, Australia. So to make up for Phil's absence, Macgregor enlisted the help of our old friend, Dan Howard, to round out the interview.

Some of the topics covered in this incredibly entertaining and informative episode are:

Dan's background and career achievements (including coaching Michael Bisping to the UFC Middleweight Championship, coaching Ronda Rousey as well as many others)

Common myths which need busting, i.e: "should fighters drop carbs during camp to cut weight?"

Energy balance and weight loss for fighters

Using Carbs to help with weight cutting

Pre/Intra/Post workout nutrition for fighters

Hydration and electrolyte balance

Meal frequency for fighters

Testosterone replacement therapy for older trainees

Getting the basics right, i.e: "tried and proven always beats new and improved"

On this week's show, Phil and Mac are joined once again by coach Dan Howard from Melbourne's Absolute MMA. The guys chat at length about the concept of a UFC 165lb Super Lightweight Division. Phil shares some inside info about this week's tweets from both Nate Diaz and Dustin Poirier suggesting that their upcoming fight at UFC 230.

To address a couple of requests from the audience, Phil, Mac and Dan tackle some of the myths and fallacies out there to do with strength and conditioning for fighters. Periodising aerobic development, autoregulation, athlete testing and "does cardio kill gains" are some of the myths attacked.

The guys also chat about some exiting new changes to the Fight Science Institute (FSci-I), inaugral seminar in on Sunday November 4th. The day after Dustin Poirier vs. Nate Diaz UFC 230 in New York! Get your tickets HERE!
