EP. 35 UNDERSTANDING FAILURE FOR STRENGTH & HYPERTROPHY - ZAC ROBINSON

07/13/23 • 60 min

What I think is great about research...

Is that in the context of exercise science/bodybuilding is that it has validated much of what ‘old school’ bodybuilders did within their training.

Training to failure

Partial ranges of motion

The importance of variables related to nutrition

The list goes on.

On the flip side of the coin, it also dismisses the most absurd approaches from muppets who think you won’t get results if you’re not following ‘insert dogmatic training approach’ or see ‘x diet’.

On the latest episode of anabolic radio I had the pleasure of speaking to @zacrobinson who lead the latest paper on training to failure for strength/hypertrophy. He talks us through the design, we go into practical application of the findings, and how some people can put themselves in a box with RPE/RIR based training.

EP 34. DR. PAK - THE MINIMUM EFFECTIVE DOSE

Missing the forest for the trees?

I don’t blame you.

With information being readily available at our fingertips, understanding how to navigate, or decipher what’s pertinent for you can be similar to finding a needle in a haystack.

In the recent Anabolic Radio episode with @dr_pak we chatted about a variety of topics that range from his PhD on ‘The Minimum Effective Dose’, to training longer muscle lengths, to Deloads, to what makes a great ‘science-based’ communicator.

Tune into the full episode to understand what’s worth your precious energy when it comes to making long-term progress in the gym.

Thanks for your time Dr. Pak!

EP. 36 NUTRITION FOR LONGEVITY- ALAN ARAGON

More often than not when trying to progress towards a certain performance or body composition related goal (e.g. build muscle, get stronger, or lose body fat) people are immediately drawn to what sounds like ‘the best’ approach, or the complexities of nutrition and resistance training.
.
This prevents them from mastering the basics and seeing the big picture.
.
We look for advanced methodologies, techniques, or protocols and proceed to pursue an approach that is inappropriate for our current level of advancement and unsustainable long term.
.
This is sort of like trying to build a house, or skyscraper, without a proper foundation in place.
.
We fail to recognize that before we apply the science of muscle building, we must first learn how to master the basics.
.
These are among a few topics of conversation I had with nutrition overlord Alan Aragon and easily one of my favorite episodes to date.
