    10 Lessons Learned From Over 400 Interviews With Leading Experts

    In this episode, I share 10 key lessons from my fitness and bodybuilding journey. We discuss why the big principles in training and nutrition stay constant, even as experts debate the finer details. I highlight the importance of personal preference, the slow and steady approach to bulking, and the significant role of genetics. We also explore why chasing 'optimal' can be misleading and how science offers clues rather than definitive answers. Plus, learn how to train as hard and as often as possible for maximum growth. These insights will help you navigate your own fitness path! Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 03:12 The big principles don’t change 05:43 Experts agree on the big principles but disagree on the smaller variables 08:51 There are many roads to Rome - there are really no shortcuts 13:53 A lot of diet & training differences can come down to personal preference & that is more important than any small optimality you’re attempting to get - optimal is a fallacy 18:36 Bulking isn’t dead but it should be done slowly 26:15 There are some excellent rules of thumb out there, but you have to focus on the individual at hand to get the best results 31:17 Science is never providing answers, but clues & pushing us further to the truth 37:12 Genetics matter a lot! 46:35 To grow your best you want to train as hard as you can, as often as you can, for as long as you can 53:27 Whilst the big principles don’t change, we’re learning more all the time Thanks, please comment, like and subscribe!

    Lengthened Partials As Effective as Full ROM

    I welcome Dr Milo Wolf and Dr Pak back on the show to share some new research. We have a preprint: lengthened partials reps elicit similar muscle adaptations as full range of motion during resistance training in trained individuals. They stated “one of the most important, well-powered, and ecologically valid to date.” — and we dig into exactly why that’s the case. Study: https://sportrxiv.org/index.php/server/preprint/view/455 Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 02:20 Pre-print for the most important study on lengthened partials 13:36 What's a trained individual? 16:01 How things are changing with this study? 23:45 Limiting factors of lengthened partials, how much of a difference was there and pre-perceived claims 37:02 What does the general evidence say and what's to come 40:14 What would a longer study show? 43:15 How to determine failure on lengthened partials 45:38 What people get wrong and why it's recommended to incorporate 53:30 Conclusion https://myoadapt.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@WolfCoaching https://www.youtube.com/@Dr__Pak Thanks, please comment, like and subscribe!
