Does cardio have the same effect that a diet does on fat loss? Is it required during a fat loss phase? No and No, but it can be useful at times and in this episode we'll teach you when to use it, how to use it, and why it might be effective (as well as when it WON'T be effective for fat loss). Then we'll dig into specialization training cycles, to bring up lagging body parts, and how to know when you should cut or bulk, as a newbie. —- To Download The Tailored Trainer and Gain Unlimited Access T...

In this episode I will show you EXACTLY how to burn body fat WHILE building muscle, to achieve the ultimate body recomposition.

WOW! This was a good one for ANYONE who wants to dive deep into how to program a diet. We tackled 3 listener questions around planning nutrition out that really summed up a lot of what you need to know. First, Cody broke down how to map out a maintenance phase and why you'd want to implement this before jumping into a cut. We then applied that to the chronic dieter and expanded on the thought process of programming a diet all together, for someone who has been dieting for far too long. Then we t...

Today's episodes kind of seems like a myth buster, in a way... we're going to dive into superfoods and whether they're legit or not, discuss food intolerances that are actually present vs. the ones that are all in your head, why you would or would not want to add a weight vest into your training, and finally - we crush the idea that short rest intervals are a good idea (while also slamming the poorly programmed influencer training plans out there on instagram). —- To Download The Tailored Traine...

Nutrient timing involves the purposeful consumption of all types of nutrients at various times throughout the day to favorably impact the adaptive response to acute and chronic exercise. Old idea: you need to deplete glycogen for carb loading supercompensation to work. New idea: you only need to reduce training training and eat high carbs for 3-4 days (8-12g/kg/day). Old idea: consuming fructose or carbohydrate close to competition can interfere with optimum performance. New idea: if carbohydrat...

In today’s podcast, we dove into training intensification techniques! A training intensifier or intensification technique is simply a method that allows you to get closer to failure, go beyond the initial point of fatigue, extend your sets for longer durations (i.e. more volume per set), and create an exciting new challenge that literally just makes training more fun. During this episode, Cody will explain the science behind these methods, exactly how to implement them, why you would want to use...

There are three popular forms of training: RPE-RIR, VBT, and PBT. Of those, the oldest by far is PBT. VBT and RPE-RIR are forms of autoregulation, which means they are adaptable for each day of training. PBT entails completing a 1RM or estimated 1RM, then following a program that (usually) progresses upward in the % of 1RM across a training cycle. For example, you may do 3x12-15 @ 70% 1RM, 3x8-12 @ 80% 1RM, and then 3x2-4 at 90% 1RM each week, respectively. If you had a bad day during the pre-te...

Overreaching is an accumulation of training and/or non-training stress resulting in short term decrements in performance capacity with or without related physiological and psychological signs and symptoms of overtraining in which restoration of performance capacity may take from several days to a few weeks. Non-functional overreaching is the step before overtraining and is hard to describe. Some have said that it is a short-term version of overtraining that is easier to recover from . However, t...

The concept of human variation in the ability to respond to exercise training was proposed almost 30 years ago. In a series of standardized and carefully monitored exercise training experiments conducted with groups of sedentary young men and women, 18–30 years of age, it was shown that there were large interindividual differences in the response to training, i.e., trainability. Let’s begin with an example: Height, which is important for sports like basketball and volleyball, is estimated to be ...

Concurrent training may compromise strength, power, and/or hypertrophic adaptations, which is commonly referred to as the interference effect. Some results indicated that there might be a decrease in adaptation to resistance training when it is combined with an aerobic training program. It seems that resistance training enhances aerobic training, but not vice versa (Hickson 1980; Hakkinen et al., 1993; Kraemer et al., 2005). The first meta-analysis on concurrent training in 2012 found that concu...

And it is often questioned whether a calorie is always a calorie. 1st law of thermodynamics = energy is conserved 2nd law of thermodynamics = energy transfer is not 100% efficient, often some is lost as heat A great example of thermodynamics applied to nutrition is macronutrients.
