Episode 44 consists of updates from the both of us, as well as the many side chats these inspire. Autoregulating intensity and managing fatigue during pursuit of strength. Psychological preparation in low rep heavy sets vs. moderate load higher rep sets. Dietary “normalcy” and wanting nothing to do with it. And lastly why you want to schedule your DEXA Scan before your blood work and not after.

We talk a lot about objectivity on the podcast and one of the top ways to objectively measure changes in lean body mass and fat mass is by getting a DEXA Scan. Today we talk about how it can be beneficial, what you should do to control as many variables as possible, and some of the discrepancies you may find between a DEXA and some other more commonly used methods.

Today we take a new approach to an Instagram Q&A episode and instead of picking and choosing we answered ALL SUBMITTED QUESTIONS. 23 questions to be precise. We sectioned off the questions into first nutrition related questions, then training related questions, and finally lifestyle related questions. Thank you to all of you guys who submitted your questions for this weeks episode and thank you for listening! ✌️Nutrition Questions: Does a higher fat macro split tend to favor a “lifestyle lean” Aesthetic, or is this anecdotal?Is it possible to go too slow in a building phase? I.E. 100 cal increase every 3 weeks versus every week? Sucralose. Avoid or don’t worry? Been on a cut to lean out. Is it bad to be on a cut for too long? How long should cuts and bulks be? Until you hit goals, or what is the recommendation? Nutrition and lifestyle tips for a college student who doesn’t wanna “miss out?” Training Questions: Studies or new findings that have changed the way you train and program?On days with a lengthened overload squat, would you prefer lengthened or short overload leg extension as secondary movement. If young training age, will “ME” (muscular endurance) training translate to overall/max strength. If so, how long? Do you find for yourself and clients, that training 6 out of 7 days is too much? Thoughts on Jeff Nippard style full body training 5x/week?Thoughts on single set to failure training? Best Pull-up progression? Bands, negatives? Resources we recommend for coaches wanting to expand training knowledge? Best way to gauge RIR if new to this type of training? Do we recommend warming up and stretching before, or just starting with light weight for first movement? (second part; stretch before or after training?) Best rep range for novice? Would you ever use eccentric-only training? Maybe at the end of a set? How do you gauge weights for backoff set on primary lift? Lifestyle Questions: I’m getting adequate total sleep, but very little DEEP sleep. Thoughts/tips/effects?Best tips for a good night sleep? Best recovery protocols? Foam roll, sauna, muscle stim? Others?How do you stay MOTIVATED to train solo? Nutrition Coaching with Aaron ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/metabolic-performance-protocolDone For You Client Check-In System for Online Coaches ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/macronutrient-reporting-check-in-template/Follow B Work 1:1 with Aaron ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/nutrition-coaching-apply-now/Done For You Client Check-In System for Coaches ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/macronutrient-reporting-check-in-template/Paragon Training Methods Programming ⬇️https://paragontrainingmethods.comFollow Bryan's Evolved Training Systems Programming ⬇️https://evolvedtrainingsystems.comFind Us on Social Media ⬇️IG | @Eat.Train.ProsperIG | @bryanboorsteinIG | @aaron_strakerYT | EAT TRAIN PROSPER PODCAST

Today’s episode is a pilot for a new type of episode we may include monthly on research review roundups where we weigh in on some notably practical research in nutrition and training.First up a very cool study demonstrating that metabolic rate pretty much stays consistent throughout our 50’s. Then we dig into a very popular topic right now with three studies suggesting that training at longer muscle lengths promotes greater hypertrophy than shorter muscle lengths. Potential uses and practicality for drop sets and intensity training, and then some options and preferences on training split and frequency when strength is the priority.  If you enjoy this style of episode please reach out to either Bryan or Aaron on Instagram and let us know if we should do these semi-regularly.  As always, thanks for listening! ✌️Nutrition Coaching with Aaron ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/metabolic-performance-protocolDone For You Client Check-In System for Online Coaches ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/macronutrient-reporting-check-in-template/Follow Bryan's Evolved Training Systems Programming ⬇️https://evolvedtrainingsystems.comFind Us on Social Media  ⬇️Instagram: @Eat.Train.ProsperInstagram: @bryanboorsteinInstagram: @aaron_strakerYouTube: EAT TRAIN PROSPER PODCAST Work 1:1 with Aaron ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/nutrition-coaching-apply-now/Done For You Client Check-In System for Coaches ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/macronutrient-reporting-check-in-template/Paragon Training Methods Programming ⬇️https://paragontrainingmethods.comFollow Bryan's Evolved Training Systems Programming ⬇️https://evolvedtrainingsystems.comFind Us on Social Media ⬇️IG | @Eat.Train.ProsperIG | @bryanboorsteinIG | @aaron_strakerYT | EAT TRAIN PROSPER PODCAST

Today we take a bit deeper of a dive on practical progression options for when to increase (or decrease) loads. We cover Dynamic Double Progression a bit deeper and why the rep drop-off model may be a more appropriate progression model for you.Additionally we cover if you should be rearranging your exercise order in your program to give greater rest between the same body parts.Then conversation then shifts into how to increase the length of your training blocks and extending potential total hypertrophic stimulus before deloading by reducing fatigue accumulation.We wrap up with which type of training: strength or hypertrophy would be most optimal for periods of considerable weight manipulation. Both increasing and decreasing.

Today’s episode is a special edition Q&A from other nutrition coaches, in-person and online trainers about how we approach certain client cases, protocols, and limiting mindsets. Ranging from psychological and priority questions to reading client bloodwork, digestion issues, and how to transition into the online coaching space from being strictly an in-person trainer.  If you’re an established coach or looking to get into the space feel free to DM us question specifics to be covered on future episodes.As always, thanks for listening! ✌️Nutrition Coaching with Aaron ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/metabolic-performance-protocolDone For You Client Check-In System for Online Coaches ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/macronutrient-reporting-check-in-template/Follow Bryan's Evolved Training Systems Programming ⬇️https://evolvedtrainingsystems.comFind Us on Social Media  ⬇️Instagram: @Eat.Train.ProsperInstagram: @bryanboorsteinInstagram: @aaron_strakerYouTube: EAT TRAIN PROSPER PODCAST Work 1:1 with Aaron ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/nutrition-coaching-apply-now/Done For You Client Check-In System for Coaches ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/macronutrient-reporting-check-in-template/Paragon Training Methods Programming ⬇️https://paragontrainingmethods.comFollow Bryan's Evolved Training Systems Programming ⬇️https://evolvedtrainingsystems.comFind Us on Social Media ⬇️IG | @Eat.Train.ProsperIG | @bryanboorsteinIG | @aaron_strakerYT | EAT TRAIN PROSPER PODCAST

This week Bryan and Aaron recap the end of Bryan’s diet, his photoshoot comparing the progress he made from the previous year, and an honest critique from Pro Natural Bodybuilders Alberto Núñez and Brian Minor. Aaron shares details about his gut protocol for improving lingering digestion issues as a result of the travel lifestyle, new low weigh-ins during his recovery diet and associations between relative body fat percentages and their impacts on bloodwork markers.

Today we have Zac and Josh of Data Driven Strength on the podcast and we get real into the weeds on what research supports for lifting big weights...and a little bit of getting jacked as well. Zac and Josh take us through what monitoring velocity in your strength training can provide you, the differences in approach for training for strength vs. muscle hypertrophy, and how training at lower RPE and higher RIR can be neurologically beneficial for you strength adaptations. It was really cool to get the time to have this conversation from guys who are deep into the research, application, AND participation in where research meets lifting weights.

After nearly 4.5 months of dieting Bryan is in his final days so we cover his “peaking” strategy he plans to employ heading into his photoshoot. We also discuss upcoming strength training cycles we both will transition to during this fall season after exclusively training for hypertrophy for 2+ years. We wrap up with long-term specialization cycles of 12 months or even longer and when and why this might be appropriate for you as opposed to a traditional 8 to 12 week specialization.
