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

We're talking about deload weeks again here. This study compares two 9 week programs geared toward strength and hypertrophy. If you do our programming you know we regularly deload, every 4 weeks.

Finishing off our fueling series we are getting into the extras, hydration, supplementions and other things to consider like micro nutritnts. 

Today, Jerred covers the practical side of Zone 2 Training. In previous episodes, we have covered more of the science of Zone 2 Training. Today, it's about the practical application of Zone 2 training. How to calculate your Zone 2, how to program Zone 2, and how to progress Zone 2 training. 

Round two of our endruance event fueling series, this time we discuss protein and fat. 

A recent unfortunate incident in the world of fitness involved a man dying while squatting at the gym. We aren't intending to exploit this tragic accident. Instead, we want to ensure the safety of all athletes and anyone lifting weights. Jerred will be sharing some safety tips, as well as discussing how to properly spot the squat and what precautions to take each time you perform this exercise; amongst many other safety considerations!

We did an awesome endurance event breakdown and how to fuel. I highly recommend listeing to the full 3 part series. 

This week were taking a look at a presentation at NSCA’s Coaches Conference, by Professor Paul Comfort. We look at how micro-dosing strength training work and if I can benefit athletes. How we may use it and expanding on this concept in detail.

How can your gut effect your workout progress and gym gains?

You can most definitely get stronger with doing calisthenics. Increasing your reps, your time under tension (tempo) and dynamic efforts will get you stronger. But that doesn't necessarily mean you will gain muscle.

Can you still make gains or maintain with minimal lifting? this is a great listen if you are going into a down season or temporarly focusing on endurance. 

We're talking wearables again! This time specifically in the context of what we would recommend to Garage Gym Athletes. These four wearable we have extensive use and experience with. So which do we recommend?

Another deep look into types of protein and whats best for recovery. 

This week Jerred reviews and breaks down the fitness programming parts of Peter Attias's book, Outlive. This is our wheelhouse and what he dives deep into, what he likes and what he doesn't like.

Do you go through the motions when you workout or are you mentally dialed into everything? 

How can you get fast AND strong? Focusing on just one isn't very hard, but being able to balance strength and conditioning can be challenging. Jerred sits down and breaks down the programming.

We program tempo lifing a fair amount, but it still takes some people by surprise and how best to do it. 

Interview with Sport Psychologist Coach and Speaker, Dr. Rob Bell.

This one goes a bit deep and at the time may have been a bit spicy. But it still is worth noting that taking care of your body and staying active will pay off. 

This weeks study looks at how mental fatigue affects strength. We have looked at this in the past specifically in strength endurance, but what about one rep max? Then we have our NEW segment, the Wheel of Pain

How is your effort toward workouts? Do you always go all out? That may not be the best way to go.
