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

This week Jerred is talking with long time athlete Jeremy Pardee.

Does very high or very low fat does cause a decrease in Testosterone? We look at a systematic review this week and our thoughts on extreme diets. Then we have our next book review, which is Range by David Epstein.

This weeks study is seeing if when you take rest days really matters. 

This week Jerred hadn't a chat with Graham Dessert, who did Murph every day for 365 days. Thats one year if you're counting.

This week we are looking at another study on social mean and how it can effect performance. Then we have a very interesting current event to discuss about weight loss. We don't do much in current events but this we couldn't not talk about.

This study is all on why mindset can really matter and how elite performers are. 

This week we are talking with James Robinson. Long time athlete and his progress is fantastic.

This weeks study is interesting and looks at weightless over time with cardio only. Then we talk about adjustments we have made in our life from all of the books we have read.

This week we are looking at grounding and why its super easy and great for you. 

This week Jerred is talking with Jon Lemons and how he get the work done. 

This week once again backs up something we have been telling our athletes for a long time. Having flexibility in your training and moving your days around, and order in which you track it completely in your control and can help you for a lot of reasons. Then we talk about times and ways we flex our training some.

This week we are looking big time at nutrition. 

This week we have such a great interview with Adam Robinson. He has a lot of great stories, his perspective on his goals and focusing on the process verses outcome. 

This week I think all athletes can take something away from. First we are looking at a study (survey) that examined perfectionism and how you perceive staying regimented and "perfect." Then the team is talking about heat acclimation and intensity of workouts in the heat.

this week we are talking about weights lifting fast, with velocity. 

This week we are back with long time athlete, Coree Rountree. She has been around the community for a very long time, usually fairly silent but she is definitely an OG in the GGA world.

This week we have a very quick study on music and the effect of listening music just between sets, not during, can help increase performance. Then we have a DEEP dive review in Fiber Fuel. We start with the negatives but them move to the positives and overall this was a very good book for the team and started a lot of dialogue about fiber.

this week we are looking at intra rest recovery and performance enhancers and one that may be hurting. 

Our next 12 week cycle starts next week! always a perfect time to join. We also have some big updates like having kettlebell and sandbag variations to our Hard to Kill track. No barbells needed!

We have a unique study this week and our discussions on it. This study looked at how three different groups estimated their calorie consumption and which groups were most successful. Then we have our first group AMA (ask me anything) about being in a calorie deficit and losing strength.
