Know your limits
.
A mature athlete is someone who knows their limits, accepts them, and understands they can still improve on them.
.
An imposter is delusional to the fact they have limits and eventually their inflexible approach will be the end of them.
.
This is just one of the many topics of conversation in the latest episode of Anabolic Radio ft. Dr. (And now PRO) Eric Helms. We also discuss his recent competitive season among hype surrounding topics such as longer muscle length training, partials, and much more.

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!

In the latest episode of Anabolic Radio I had the pleasure of chatting to @FORTITUDE_TRAINING where we discuss Nuances of Range of Motion

.

Range of motion is simply the objective measurement our joints/muscles are able to move through.

.

In every exercise there will be 4 phases of a rep:

• Eccentric (in a squat that will be the downwards motion)
• Isometric in the Lengthened position (bottom of a squat)
• Concentric (upwards motion in a squat)
• Isometric in the Shortened position (top of a squat)

.

For myself and my clients I always program tempo, which is simply allowing us to standardize how long we spend in each 4 phase of a rep. This is incredibly important when it comes to standardization of what you’re doing during a set.

.

Back to range of motion- as of late in the industry people have been off their rocker about emphasizing the lengthened position in an exercise. Dr. Scott took a few days, before the episode to brush up on what the current body of literature is suggesting when it comes to whether it’s best to train a muscle through a full range of motion, partial, or emphasize the lengthened position.

.

I couldn’t think of anyone better to have a deep dive on this topic with, thank you for your time Dr. Scott!!

After a slight hiatus, Anabolic Radio is back!!

.

In this episode I had the pleasure of speaking to Lauren Colenso-Semple who is currently finishing up her PhD and has worked with the likes of @billcampbellphd @bradshoenfeld @andygalpin and now currently @stuphillips . We discussed all things related to women’s physiology and hypertrophy in addition to her latest paper on Menstural Cycle, or Phase based training.

.

I think the biggest take away from our discussion was in general- Often we like to turn to research to tell us how to structure our diet and training programs, and studies certainly can act as guidelines or starting points. We must remember, however, that in general, most research reports averages.

.

Individual responses to exercise and diet can vary dramatically from one person to the next; averages don’t provide us with this information.

.

This is why I always preach- learning through experience and trail and error will be the foundation for which you can fast track your own progression.

.

All of this suggests that you need to consider how you respond individually to changes in training and diet in order to determine your optimal program design.

.

Tune into the full discussion for a deeper dive- available on all streaming platforms.

Thank you for your time Lauren!

Noticing visual changes in body composition is similar to watching paint dry, especially when you don’t have any metrics for measuring progress.

This is why tracking things like your training and taking measurements is rather important, as objective data will allow you to accurately assess whether progress is occurring, or not.

In this episode of Anabolic Radio, I had the pleasure of chatting to Dr. Grant Tinsley who is a professor at Texas Tech University and recently has been a pioneer on analyzing changes in body composition and standardizing testing.

Additionally, he has conducted research in the realms of fasting- in the second half of the episode we chatting about standardizing terminology between fasting and time restricted feeding and nuances within both of those topics.

Tune into the full episode to understand the true value of standardizing body composition measurements and nuances of fasting.

Much of this industry will lead you to believe that there’s some special secret behind what they do and how they achieve results, but here’s a hard truth

The secret is there is no secret.

Surround yourself by people that are better than you, or know more than you. Pretty simple, right?

There is no magic diet. There is no magic exercise. There is no magic way of living.

Success in whatever your goal is comes down to a variety of different aspects.

Exercise in a way that is specific to your goals, in a way you can recover from and enjoy.

Push yourself enough to create the adaptation you need, then allow the body to adapt.

Eat the appropriate amount of food for your goal, not too much, not too little, just right.

Be patient, be consistent and keep an open mind.

See how easy it is at a basic level?

In this episode of Anabolic Radio, I had the pleasure of chatting to my friend Kassem Hanson founder of N1 Education. We speak about a variety of topics such as: foundations in the gym, understanding why being specific with your training is important, and how to individualize your approach based on your training level of advancement and goal. Tune into the full discussion to understand how to apply principles intelligently.

In this weeks episode of Anabolic Radio I had the pleasure of chatting to @alexbush_ from Physique Development about a variety of topics related to coaching.

Unfortunately, with online coaching being easily accessible to a majority malpractice within the coaching space has become a very common issue. Over the course of my career coaching I’ve heard some pretty ridiculous horror stories, people getting scammed, low calorie starvation diets, eliminating macronutrient groups and excessive amounts of cardio, drugs, the list goes on and on.

One of my main goals as an established coach within the evidence based space is to contribute in whatever way I can to help minimize bad coaching practices and help others find the true value of what they’re looking for when working with a coach. Coaches on social feel the impetus for growth. That pressure likely comes from consuming Instagram mainstream, fits, or even business coaching- but before you start chasing dollars as a coach, you must chase passion.

Get really obsessed and being a proactive problem solver and figuring out how to apply knowledge/information/experience based on individual context. Quality coaching means continual and steadfast effort in education and growth for both yourself and your clients. This means your failures, learning lessons, and mistakes should always come before your clients like a shield for their results.

Being excellent at your job is going to serve as the foundation for your client experience and given your work speaks for itself, your clients will do your marketing for you which will allow you to scale long term.

The expectation shouldn’t be perfection, rather continuous skill acquisition and consistent improvement over time. Tune into our full discussion to find the true value of what you need to be doing as a coach to level up your game!
