Training Methodology

[00:04:35]   Very few people think about methodology, Dr Jason explains why and Carl voices his view.

[00:09:00]   Dr Jason eloquently clarifies goal setting for people who want to train. Setting SMART goals,

• specific,
• measurable,
• attainable,
• realistic and

[00:15:15]   Carl joins in on the goal setting subject, particularly specificity.

[00:19:56]   The discussion segues into progressive overload. Dr Jason explains the following:

• progressive overload
• protein synthesis
• specificity
• muscular endurance
• muscle hypertrophy
• muscular strength
• muscular power
• individuality
• recovery

[00:30:55]   Dr Jason expounds on progressive overload schematically by drawing a graph of 3 scenarios on a white board – tune in!

[00:38:26]   Fatigue management - successive training results in what is known as the accumulation of fatigue. The discussion elaborates on this subject and Carl talks about de-loading/active recovery.

[00:43:35]   Carl shares an interesting story from when he trained as a power lifter.

[00:47:10]   Dr Jason describes why he does not believe in the concept that there is no such thing as overtraining only undereating.

[00:57:03] The noble acquisition of muscle and strength is the only thing that will make you live longer and healthier – science has proven this over and over again.

[00:57:15]   Dr Jason talks in detail about individualization.

[00:59:26]   The discussion continues on to the subject of calories in, calories out and its application to individualization.

[01:01:44]   If we cannot measure it, we cannot improve it.

[01:03:00]   The most important thing, when we talk about altering body composition, and the intersect of diet is that we are lacking an easy and accurate way for someone to assess how much energy they use in a given day. Follow the discussion further!

Could Phytoestrogen Actually be Good for You?

[01:12:50]   Logan clarifies the value Phyto estrogens can provide and reliable sources of it.

• Important to realize,
  • how common phytoestrogens are
  • what amounts are appropriate
• People know the obvious sources like soy, flax, and hops
  • Also found in apples, carrots, olive oil, coffee, mint, etc.

[01:14:54]   Logan provides examples of why a Phyto estrogen would be good for an individual as well as circumstances surrounding it.

• Estrogenic compounds attach to different receptors.
• They may mimic estrogen inside the body.
• They may block the receptors.
• Important to understand the difference between xenoestrogens and phytoestrogens.
  • xeno meaning alien or foreign.
  • manufactured chemicals.
  • endocrine mimicking compounds, but they are synthesized.

[01:02:44]   Logan explains anti androgen or antithyroid having a wide range of different actions in our body.

[01:18:31]   The discussion turns to various receptors and modulators – remarkably interesting!

[01:21:22]   The main benefits of using Cistanche:

• Sexual benefits
• Used in the Hercules Pre-workout formula, energy benefits
• Immune system benefits
• Grown mostly in the Mongolian Tibetan plateaus
• Organic
