Garage Gym Athlete: From Our Athletes To Jocko Willink, Tim Ferriss, & Rich Froning There’s One Thing In Common: Garage Gym

Its no secret we love (and do) concurrent training. This was a fantasist meta analysis that looked at a lot of concurrent training studies to see how they impacted untrained, moderately trained, and trained athletes to see how and if the interference effect changed based on fitness level.

This week we are looking at a study that examines how focusing on what muscles you are using can increase your results and performance. 

This week we are talking to Robert Guillen and his journey in fitness. Robert has worked out in a garage for many years. He has quite the story including a lot of major injuries he has overcame and how he adjust his training now. 

For those that have done Murph several times before and feel ready to set a PR, we go over some of our tips and things to consider when doing Murph and crushing it.

Couple weeks ago we looked at how keto I able to achieve hypertrophy and strength among other things. So now we wanted go to the other direction and look at a study that compared vegan and omnivore diets when doing strength and hypertrophy training. the results were similar but there is still a lot to unpack and caveats to consider when doing a vegan diet.

This week we are looking at if cold exposure if best for recovery, if its worth it, and when it is best used. 

We are back again with Gabe Byars. This is his second time on the podcast and the first time we skipped over some of his history but sure glad we got a chance to dive back in and hear about his heart issue when he was younger and how he overcame being told he cant workout.

This week we wanted to give some of our tips for progressing in murph and how you can succeed in completing your first murph, or first time with a vest. We have done this workout a ton and so have our athletes. So if you are interested in completing this for the first time or improving from the last time, check this episode out.

This weeks study was very interesting and great for those who habitually take antihistamines. This study examined how taking antihistamines is blocking the inflammatory response your body produces when exercising and therefore stunting your results and fitness. They tested a lot of markers so definitely check this out if you are someone with allergies. Then the team talks about what all of our trigger words are.

Can gains be in your head? If your head is more dialed in when you workout, you could see greater benefits. Check out this study discussion for more. 

We have something new this week and its something we have wanted to do for a while. We have many medical professionals in our community so we wanted to sit down with one and answer some of our community questions from a doctors perspective and with their knowledge. We read a lot of studies but are not trained as medical professionals. So this is the first round of Q&A with a doctor who has been on this podcast as an athlete and has gone through our coaching course.

Jerred has had several saunas at home. This week he's talking about his past ones and his few DIY projects, then shared why he sprung for a full barrel sauna.

We are always looking to get better here. Healthier, more fit, performing more optimally.

This week study we are looking at how just a little bit of stretching can lead to strength and power gains. Usually when we look at strength it has to do with recovery and injury prevention but there is performance to be gained as well. Then its this months book review, which is Sugar Crush. We have a lot of varying thoughts on this but some great take aways as well.

This week we are looking back to a study on how to train for the long term, not the short.
