High Intensity Business

I used to work 80+ hours per week and waste time on unimportant tasks that made me feel busy. Fast forward ~3 years later to my last position in B2B IT Sales, I managed to get my most important stuff done in 2-hours per day, close multiple million-pound contracts, smash my sales targets and earn a six-figure income ( ... had I not left to live in Ireland and grow Corporate Warrior). Time management is a misnomer. Increased productivity isn't about more efficiency: doing things well. It's about effectiveness: doing the right things. What are you scared of? What are you not doing to avoid conflict? What's been sitting on your to-do list for weeks? Chances are, these are the force multipliers. Tim Ferriss's New York Times Best Seller, The 4-Hour Work Week, supercharged my productivity. However, at first, and for a long while, it seemed too abstract. How is it possible to achieve more with less? Isn't it just about working really hard? How can I only check email once or twice per day? This episode will show you how to implement tried and test principles of productivity into your job/HIT business to free-up time for your side-hustle and/or simply 10x career/business growth.

Drew Baye is one of the top high intensity training experts around today. He is the founder and owner of Baye.com, the most popular high intensity training website online. He’s a prolific writer, researcher, and elite level personal trainer. To listen to my previous episode with Drew Baye, go here: Part 1 and Part 2. In The 4-Hour Body, the author, Tim Ferriss featured Drew to demonstrate how it’s possible to get to 3-4% body fat with no “cardio”. I recently moved to Galway, Ireland, and have no access to fancy MedX and Nautilus machines (not until I build my own gym! Muhaha!). I decided to continue my high intensity body weight training using Drew Baye's Project Kratos, which is an excellent eBook on how to use just body weight training to maximise strength, muscle mass and overall health. In this episode, Drew answers my questions about Project Kratos and body weight high intensity training in general. Drew kicks off by explaining the principles of high intensity training that apply to any workout protocol. We then discuss how this fits into a high intensity body weight training context over the long term. In this episode we cover: How to get past sticking points in Project Kratos and optimise your overall results The importance of knowing when to introduce specialisation programs How to train to failure and not rely on a secondary exercise, drop set, etc to "get there" This episode is brought to you by Exercise Science LLC, your one-stop shop for all of your exercise needs.

Dr Andy Galpin (Instagram and Twitter) has a degree in exercise science, a masters in Human Movement Sciences and a PhD in Human Bioenergetics (studying the structure and function of human skeletal muscle at the single cell level), This also resulted in the opening of the Biochemistry and Molecular Exercise Physiology Laboratory (BMEP) at CSU Fullerton. The BMEP lab studies the acute responses and chronic adaptations of human skeletal muscle in response to high force, velocity, power and fatiguing exercise from the whole body, down to the individual muscle fiber and even into the individual DNA. The team does this by taking muscle biopsies from non-athletes and elite athletes from different backgrounds (e.g. normal college student, MMA fighter, Boxer, Weightlifter, etc.) and use highly sophisticated laboratory techniques and equipment to address questions about single fiber "type", size, function, protein quantity, diameter, mitochondria, and myonuclear function. Check this video they shot with Conor McGregor to measure the angular velocity of his spinning back kick! I stand corrected: this was 3 years ago! Not "recently" like I said in the introduction to this episode *blush*. I really enjoyed Andy Galpin’s interview on The Joe Rogan Experience which led me to ask him on to Corporate Warrior. Every now and again, I like to invite someone on to the show who isn’t from a HIT background and has a different opinion on what exercise is the most effective for various desirable outcomes. Whilst Andy does believe that HIT provides some value, he believes that traditional high intensity training falls short in meeting all of the requirements for optimising health, longevity and even muscle gain. Check out Andy's new book: Unplugged: Evolve from Technology to Upgrade Your Fitness, Performance, & Consciousness (Amazon US / Amazon UK) In this episode we cover: Andy's opinions on the pros and cons of the typical HIT protocol How Andy adds muscle to his athletes What Andy has changed his mind about regarding muscle adaptation/growth and post-workout nutrition timing in recent memory and much more This episode is brought to you by Hituni.com, providers of the best online courses in high intensity training that come highly recommended by Dr. Doug McGuff and Discover Strength CEO, Luke Carlson.

This episode is a little bit of an experiment. My guest is Richard Chartrand. Richard is not a trainer and he does not own a big health and fitness business. He is student of HIT and has been a HIT proponent for 35 years. Richard was featured in Holiday Thanks, a popular article written by Dr Doug McGuff in 2009, which explains how Richard may have single handedly revitalised the HIT movement with his amazing physical transformation following cardiac surgery. Richard documented his transformation on drdarden.com under My Progress after Cardiac Surgery. Some of you have been asking for an interview with a trainee for some time. Richard shares what he has learnt in his pursuit of optimal health and fitness, and I think many of you will find this very interesting and useful. Contact Richard: Being the Hero of Your Life (Richard's blog) Facebook Maintenance to 170 (Richard's Facebook group) In this episode we cover: Richard's story of his inspiring training journey and the severe health scares which inspired him to pursue a short career in body building. How Richard's training protocol has evolved over time. How he wants to prove John Little wrong ;-) and much more This episode is brought to you by Hituni.com, providers of the best online courses in high intensity training that come highly recommended by Dr. Doug McGuff and Discover Strength CEO, Luke Carlson.
