Kassem Hanson: Muscle Hypertrophy Science | ETP#46
Coach Kassem Hanson, the creator of N1 Education and N1 Training, brings an incredible and unprecedented depth of knowledge to lifting weights. Revolutionary is the word that comes to mind with how what you will learn from Kassem and N1 will improve your training. Today’s episode you will need to listen to at least twice, because many of the concepts will likely be foreign at first. After listening make sure to find coach Kassem and the N1 on their respective social channels (linked below in show notes) to continue learning more from him and the N1 coaching staff.

Choosing the Right Gym | ETP#45
Today we have an interesting discussion around the thoughts and perceptions that have molded our viewpoints when it comes to selecting the right gym. Bryan also gives the latest updates on managing fatigue for deadlift performance throughout his ongoing strength block, and why he’s excited for his return to a hypertrophy block. What is harder, a 3RM Back Squat or 12RM Hack/Pendulum? And Aaron shares the latest from his big testing day experiment, his gut protocol, and revelations from the most basic attempt in improving digestion.

November Life / Training Updates | #ETP44
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.

Measuring Gains with a DEXA Scan | ETP#43
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.

Rapid Fire Nutrition, Training, Lifestyle Q&A | ETP#42
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?

Recent Research Roundup | ETP#41
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

Exercise Order / Dynamic Double Progression | ETP#40
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.

Data Driven Strength | ETP#37
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. Thanks for listening! ✌️Find Zac and Josh on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/zac.datadrivenstrength/https://www.instagram.com/josh.datadrivenstrength/Data Driven Strength Individualized Programming (DDSIP)https://www.data-drivenstrength.com/individualized-programmingNutrition Coaching with Aaron ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/metabolic-performance-protocolComplete Client Check-In System for Online Coaches ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/macronutrient-reporting-check-in-template/Follow Bryan's Gym 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
