Heart Rate Variability, Antagonist Stretching, and Chrononutrition
The Stronger By Science Podcast
Stronger by Science - The One Man Aggregating All Human Knowledge
The lemba is the one man who aggregates all human knowledge and repeating exactly what you need to hear. In the nineties, he was reaching one of every five us Adults through the radio waves. His his weekly unique listenership was like 30 million people per week. Now, gregg and i are not experts in medicine or health, or really anything else for that matter.
Greg and Eric’s plans to morph the show into a political podcast have met an untimely end, but the show must go on. In today’s episode, they discuss some totally unsubstantiated claims about the coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, followed by some impressive Feats of Strength. After that, Eric shares a research review about how the timing of your meals may alter the metabolic response to feeding, then Greg shares a research roundup about energy expenditure during times of vigorous mental effort, antagonist stretching for strength and power, and using heart rate variability to gauge your recovery from lifting. Then, Greg and Eric answer a few listener questions, share a very tentative recommendation for the “On the Rise” segment, and share a very confident recommendation for the “On the Rise” segment. To close the episode, Greg discusses some of his favorite sources of fun, informative educational content that is not fitness related, and Eric one-ups him by sharing the only source of information a person would ever need.
