This is a special episode, where Yaya and Ryan take us down the nutrition rabbit hole. The Chalk crew debunks many of the methods that surround nutrition for athletes. Ryan talks about the importance of earning your carbs after a workout, and why you don’t get carbs until you’ve trained. Ryan and Yaya also talk about the importance of getting in fats, explaining how dietary fat actually has no relation to body fat. They discuss the ins and outs of paleo and ketogenic diets, as well as the importance of eating food, and the potential repercussions of undernourishment. Ryan also covers how to eat out, especially dealing with peer pressure, and how lying to people about why you are eating clean is always the best route. The best ways to eat healthy is to not have shitty food!

In chapter 5, we dive headfirst into the strength vs cardiovascular training debate. Andy sets the stage by telling the story of Bob Hoffman’s showdown with Dr. Peter Karpovich over this divide in 1940. Following the aftermath, we address our own biases, contextualize the role of adaptation in human performance, and provide some general recommendations. Andy and Kenny dive into the two, formerly opposing, schools of thought in the fitness world: strength training vs. cardiovascular training. Andy covers the evolution of strength training starting in 1861 with the coining of the “healthlift” or deadlift, as we know it today, and then they both explore the timeline of how scientists, who were pro-cardio, experienced a mindset shift and slowly understood the importance of adopting multiple modalities.
