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

This week study we are looking at how just a little bit of stretching can lead to strength and power gains. Usually when we look at strength it has to do with recovery and injury prevention but there is performance to be gained as well. Then its this months book review, which is Sugar Crush. We have a lot of varying thoughts on this but some great take aways as well.

This week we are looking back to a study on how to train for the long term, not the short. 

This week Jerred and Joe are chatting with Mark Campbell. He has some great insight and obstacles in his fitness he has overcame to check out this interview. 

This week we are reversing things and we ask the question "why wouldn't you join Murph Burner program?" and then provide a list of (sarcastic) reasons why one wouldn't want to try this Murph Burner program. And for those of you who don't know, the Murph Burner program is a 4 week program dedicated to preparing for the Murph workout coming on Memorial Day and 100% of sales will go to the Social Operations Warrior Foundation.

We are talking about cluster sets again this week but with a systematic review. We also go into how and why to best do cluster sets. Then we have the Murph Burner programing coming up starting next week! So if you are interested in a program to help with the Murph workout or a bodyweight program check this out.

We are diving back into some studies we first covered on the Garage Gym Athlete podcast. Here is the first time we looked at carb rinsing. 

We are back with the Murph crew! They are almost finished with their 52 weeks of Murph so we check in on how they are doing and how they feel about being so close to finishing. 

This weeks Ask Me Anything Jerred asks Joe all about his recent climb of Kilimanjaro. Joe shares his experience, how he succeed and anything else Jerred decided to ask. If you have thought about doing this trek or any other mountain trek you should definitely check out this episode.

This week we are looking at a systematic review on if skipping breakfast will effect your BMI and wight gain. This was fairly insightful but with more nutrition studies and topics, it doesn't even scratch the surface. Check out what we all have to say on the matter. Then we are talking about negativity and how we deal with it. Negativity is everywhere especially on social media, so how do we handle it?

Talking with Dr. Dan Siegel today and how to Turn Your Consciousness Off Autopilot.  

We are talking with Theo and his awesome garage gym he set up and customized today. If you are in our group you know him as the guy with the Matrix graphic in his gym. So we talk about his training and being a coach. 

This week we were asking how hypertrophy fits into our programming. We are mostly concerned with strength and performance, but hypertrophy has a place and we make sure to include it in our programming. 

We have had athlete ask many times about if CBD oil is good for recovery so we are finally getting into a study. Sadly as of right now it doesn't look like CBD oil can help with soreness and recovery but that doesn't mean there aren't great uses for it. We talk about that more in-depth today. And its also book review time. This months book is Dirty Genes. This one we had a lot of things to say about, both good and note worthy so check it out.

We are back talking with Evan Brand and his advice on where to get the right test for your gut and what to know when testing your gut for bacteria. 

Jerred and Joe are talking with Tyler Robertson this week and all of his training areas. Dealing with different elements and even training in a sauna. 

This week we were asked when hypertrophy should be programmed and when strength training should. We aim to get stronger primarily and moving more wight, but there are times where hypertrophy is important which is why we do still include it in our training. 

This weeks study was an interesting approach to looking at volume for an athlete but something we have touched on a little before. Then we talk about another "pick one" question but with exercises. And we have a NEW Meet Yourself Saturday inspired by one of our athletes. 

This week we are back with Dr. Dan Siegel  and speaking of Implementing The Process of Integration.

This week we are talking with even Jackson and his workout enjoinment. He really deals with the elements and some cold training. Check out how he gets it done!

We are talking about more gear again! We were asked if we ever run in our training shoes or train in our running shoes. Its a great thing to talk about and comes up very often, what shoes we training.
