Episode notes

In the episode on super charge, i talked all about how by using cooling. I will talk about adding in keytones on top of carbohydrate at the end of the episode. So that's how nerves work. You need carbohydrate, you need sodium, sium and magnesium in order to drive the brain muscle. Muscle is going to engage and generate energy first by using this phospho creatine system. And it is p h dependent. It depends on the conditions, or the environment within the brain being of a certain p h or acidity. If you move your wrist towards your shoulder and contract your bicep, really hard muscle fibres are burning up their own carbohydrate. They are converting that

This episode I discuss endurance: our ability to perform effort over extended amounts of time. I describe the four kinds of endurance: muscular endurance, long duration (single-set) efforts, and the two kinds of high intensity interval training (HIIT). I discuss efficiency of effort and maximizing quality of effort, and a hydration formula. I review how our heart literally gets stronger when we oxygenate muscles properly. I also discuss motivation for long bouts of work and the visual physiological basis of the "extra gear" we all can leverage for effort. Finally, I review how accelerating as we fatigue can allow us to access untapped energetic resources.
