It's been a while since I recorded a podcast on my own training and diet journey. In this podcast, I talk about my own physical insecurities and new approach to diet to see if I can add more muscle mass whilst minimising fat gain. Since recording this, I was reminded that muscle gain, at my level, is a marathon, not a sprint. Therefore, I'm looking to continue this experiment for the rest of 2018 to see what happens. I will keep you posted! This is my current A/B routine performed once every 3-5 days. The details of the protocol are provided in the podcast. For images and instruction for each exercise, please see Project Kratos and some links below: A Routine Pushup Pull up or chin up (alternated) Single legged squat (alternate starting left or right leg) Neck extension Neck flexion B Routine Seated row Overhead press Leg raises Single leg dumbbell calf raises Prone trunk extension  Neck lateral Highlights: How to think about optimising muscle hypertrophy over the long term How to balance the pursuit of muscle gain with the preservation or improvement of health span Why cultivating a healthy perspective toward your physical appearance is really important …. and much, much more Get more HIT customers HERE Would you like to support Corporate Warrior? Please see my Patreon HERE This episode is brought to you by ARXFit.com, ARX are the most innovative, efficient and effective all-in-one exercise machines I have ever seen. I was really impressed with my ARX workout.

Simon Melov, PhD, heads the Buck Institute’s Genomic Core, which explores the role of the energy-making units inside cells, the mitochondria. Simon's research focus is in identifying molecular hallmarks of aging to guide the development of anti-aging therapies. Melov received his PhD in Biochemistry from the University of London in the UK. He held positions at Emory University in Atlanta and at the University of Colorado in Boulder before joining the faculty of the Buck Institute as an associate professor in 1999. Other research interests include the age-related bone disorder osteoporosis, age-related heart disease, the role of methylation in the aging human genome, and developing molecular techniques to better understand single cell changes with age.
