Eat Train Prosper

In this week's episode Bryan and Aaron cover some personal goals outside of training and nutrition. We answer the questions of how you might best incorporate "less than optimal" physical activities into your grand pursuit of physique, fat loss, and performance. The major theme of this episode stems from Bryan's recent training session with Kassem Hanson, Brian Minor and Alberto Núñez which sparks a ton of curiosity surrounding variable resistance, evaluating volume, effective reps, and current research on these topics.Thanks for listening! ✌️  Nutrition 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
