Garage Gym Athlete: From Our Athletes To Jocko Willink, Tim Ferriss, & Rich Froning There’s One Thing In Common: Garage Gym

This weeks study looks at the difference if you program a 12 week cycle with a strength first emphasis verses a hypertrophy first. Then we talk about wearables again, what to look for and how they effect us.

Caffeine is regularly looked at as a performance and daily boost. But how much of a boost?

Time is one of the biggest concern's and limitations our athlete's have. Here are some of our solutions on how you can maximize your time and fit in your workouts.

Were going back to back squat. What better low bar back squat or high bar? what about feet position, wide stance or narrow? We look at a study that dove very deep into these things. And then a BRAND NEW Meet Yourself Saturday workout and tradition.

Another great study that went deep into concurrent training and why we do it.

Do you workout in your basement? A shed or garage with a lot ceiling? Well we go over some solutions and how you can adjust your workout with those limitations.

We have looked at a lot of study as to why older athletes can and should still exercise. But how much is too much intensity?

Intermittent fasting is all the rage, but what should you use it for? and will it effect your performance and progress?

We have started a new series of episodes and asked all of our athletes and the community what your biggest problems are with having a garage gym. This one is for those people who have not sprung for any cardio equipment yet and for some reason cant run, here are your solutions and how you should be executing your workouts.

We have talked about auto regulation and reps is reserve a few times in the past. This is a great study that directly examined linear progression verses auto regulation and choosing your own load.

We have sort of made our case again constant high intensity training, but we do know there is a time and place for it. This study looks at that. 

We have a NEW format for our athlete talks this week. And we kick things off with Dr. Chris Morrissey, long time athlete and no stranger to this podcast. 

This week we look at a study with possibly the most diverse and broadest group of people. This study had male females ranging from 8 weeks old to 95 years old! And in this study they measured energy expenditure, which showed that we pretty much all burn the same amount in relation to muscle. This was a fantastic study and a must listen. 

This study looks at if its best to train in the morning, evening, afternoon, When?

We finally get to chat with long time athlete Ryan Hill. He talks about changing his mindset and goals over time and the process of fitness.

This weeks study looks at how tracking food can either cause a complex toward food or even an eating disorder. So which comes first, tracking food or a bad relationship with food?

This weeks study look at one of the most common missing element in strength programs, and that is speed/power.

We sit down with Chris Bennett and how he manages to get his training done while juggling his big family and work life.

Hydration and supplementation are two huge areas when it comes to doing an event and probably the more asked about part, even more macros. We already covered carbs, protein in fat in the previous parts so now we talk about hydration and supplementation for your endurance even fueling needs.

So to compliment last week with burning fat, we talk about how to gain muscle and get stronger.
