Muscle Intelligence

Ever feel like you're training consistently and doing all the right things, but not getting the results that you've worked hard for? I see the term "overtraining" thrown around in the fitness community... People believe they're hurting their progress by training too much. Ironically, most people who THINK they are overtraining are actually experiencing a different issue. The good news is, while the problem can be complex, the solution is often incredibly simple. You just need to learn the steps. I recorded today's solocast to give you a framework that will empower you to get MORE out of the training you're already doing, STOP overtraining (even when you add more training to your plan), and hone your programming for maximal progress. You'll learn: The Correct Type of Training (and Why Most People Avoid It). The Major Differences Between Progression for Beginners, Versus Trained Individuals. The Three KEY Things That Significantly Impact Your Recovery. If You're Not Overtraining, Here's What's Actually Happening Instead. How to STOP Stalling Your Progress In the Gym, and Achieve Maximal Gains. Plus, I took the key points from this solocast and listed them in our free episode guide, for easy reference (just pull it up on your phone!). Click here to get your guide!

Listen to the FULL episode with Ido Portal: muscleintelligence.com/254 Get the FREE High Impact Episode Guide: muscleintelligence.com/learn Today's guest takes the lines and limitations of the commonly perceived notions of movement, awareness, and life... then expands, deconstructs, and weaves these concepts into the outer edges of human consciousness. Starting from an early age in Traditional Martial Arts, Ido Portal was obsessed with the physical. At age 15, he learned Afro-Brazilian Capoeira, a practice that sent him on a life-long journey to explore various modalities, and learn and study his deeper connection to Movement. His search to study under experienced 'Movement Teachers' came up unsuccessful, as he could not find anyone who could TRULY represent that title. All the 'Movement Teachers' focused on a specific discipline, but none were actually interested in the bigger picture of movement. So, he worked towards and eventually claimed the title for himself: a Movement Teacher. You'll learn: The most advantageous rules to BREAK within traditional movement systems. The step-by-step path to an intentional movement practice. How to train to improve mindfulness and emotional awareness. How to MASTER you mind and expand your consciousness through your body.
