Why fixate on the % of body fat, if you can see striations, then you are carrying very little subcutaneous body fat. But does that mean, that your visceral fat, is just as low? Even a lean person can have up to 85000 kcal of stored fat, though if you have striations - that probably would not be that high?
I crossed that while I was googling which is more taxing, training to failure or having the pump from volume, to me I like both but what fatigues me more on the second day is the burn from goin to failure
This is great, however to some degree I'm not sure to agree or disagree. It seems that people don't want to live without drugs or addiction and that we naturally seek out higher levels of pleasure. A councilor told me "connection is the opposite of addiction" however in her class more than 80% of the people have kids and a spouse. Both men and women are continuing to seek out drugs and even connection outside their marriage.. it seems that's just what we do as people
This is so stupid you will gain no strength or muscle doing this unless you are an absolute beginner I am sick of this old man science bullshit. If you want results it’s not hard progressive overload at the gym
Women and men all share the same hormones but testosterone is one hormone that has virtually no statistical overlap in amounts needed for health. Generally healthy women will have about 1/10th of blood testosterone leveks than for for a healthy man. Now women will have times of the month when they are ovulating or pregnant where their estradil or progesterone will be much higher than a man. But men do need estradiol ( which they get from T or fat) and progesterone. A man with low T [ or on TRT] will most likely will be low in progesterone and that will cause havoc for them with stress, thyroid, prostatr issues and sleep problems and possibly joint problems
I was severely abused by chiros. I have major muscle damage I’ve only saw a couple doctors but they e denied my severe pain. Can anyone get back to me if they’ve been also severely abused and injured, the muscle damage was gruesome I felt nerve pain before it. My entire body sunk into itself.
Oh wow! Thank you for explaining overcoming isometrics. That sounds like a great way to get my CNS completely fired up before I start my true sets. Also, I’ve seen so many gains in the last few years with heavy weights and low reps, I’m scared to change it up with lighter weight and higher reps, even though I’ve plateaued. I’m now seeing that I should change it up right now. Thanks you for shifting my mindset! 🙏🏻
The only way I can feel my tri-ceps and rear delts working properly. Glutes is another story. There's a thin line between too heavy and not heavy enough.
Thanx for the laghter with the brownies.😂 I needed that. Sugar in anything is just a maketing ploy that works. Kelloggs cereal really started it. Then colas. Adding sugar to everything like barbeque chips for example. Sugar sells.
Thank you for this conversation. Im 62 and I normally lift heavy even when i tell myself it's a light day. I lift to head off sarcapenea? spelling. And i just started deadlift and squats 4 years ago. Im now starting to feel it. Especially the systemic fatigue. I'm going to try to connect with lighter weights. Can you give me an example. My working set in deadlift is 360 to 380. How much less do i go. I use a machine for preacher curls about 140 to 160. Do I go to 120lbs and do slower reps! Just trying to save my body. Thank you if you have time to respond.✌️😊
Hey geniuses - Google IQ in vegans versus omnivores. Guess which is higher. And guess who was a vegetarian- and a lifelong proponent of that diet? Einstein. So I think maybe I’ll listen to him, not you, and continue being a vegetarian.
So me and two of my friends are all currently losing weight. One of my friends was way overweight but used to be a personal trainer when he was a lot younger, there's me who has been consistently about 40 pounds overweight for the last couple decades and my younger friend who just wanted to get summer ready. My really overweight friend just went back to his training 6 months ago and hit the gym, quit alcohol and switched to chicken and rice. He's lost about 80 pounds over the last 6 months. My buddy who just wanted to get summer ready took tirzepitide starting in april and he's down 40 pounds. I also decided on tirzepitide but with a focus on getting good protein and exercise every day. It's been an interesting study on weight loss. My traditional buddy is obviously doing it the best way long term, my buddy who lost 40 has probably lost a bunch of muscle, and I've just started so I can't really speak to muscle loss yet. But we are all arriving at the same place at roughly the same time. Demonizing this drug is wrong. It's not bad. What the training industry has to do is pivot into helping the people on peptides get into good habits that they can lean on after the peptides. I have yo-yo'd for decades and it's so frustrating. Tirzepitide has helped me break through a wall that was indestructible for me in the past. It's not that I just eat less, now when I do eat, it's way less so I make sure that every meal I eat has proper macros. Me and my friend have absolutely created better more healthy eating habits and it's been a miracle for me. I hope these peptides stay and become mainstream. It's up to you guys to educate people on how to use peptides to break through the weight loss walls and to help people create the habits for long term success.
I can’t agree more… at 27:09 seconds… The potato chip! Those things are deadly!! 💀 I can’t ever eat those dang things without finishing the whole bag in one sitting!😭 I’ve went months without them lately so I picked up a bag last night thinking I could control myself and just eat a few chips… but I still couldn’t stop until the whole bag was empty 😩

Since my shoulder injury, I've been having to use lighter weight. So, the strategies you guys are talking about are very helpful for me.
2:42 It's not that, proteins transform to fat less than carbohydrates, sugar and fats, and they are also the most saciating compound out of the 4, which makes getting weight very hard (fat weight), the one that transforms more to fat lipids is, you guessed it, fat, then sugar, then carbohydrates and last proteins, ketogenic diet is really good too lose weight for this reason, you have a high protein diet with some fat (less than proteins obviously) with only a bit of carbohydrates and little suga, it's almost impossible to gain weight in this die, carnivore is also good to loose weight, but it's slightly less healthy, but it's still a really good option to loose weight, much better than most diets we have nowadays.
At almost 57, I have bone loss in my spine and shoulders from many years of strenuous physical work related labor. I will continue to strength train for the rest of my life, but super heavy weight would be insane.
also one thing that makes your podcast so fun and interesting is that you talk about things you`ve heard and fact check with Doug, learn so much random and interesting things for real life conversations... yall are helping to make people more interesting :D
pregnenolone helps with anxienty. DHEA also helped in the past, will run it again. Its not always about muscle. These are also "neurosteroids" so you will notice mental benefits
