Episode #50 with Dan Garner

03/23/19 • 66 min

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"
