Lyle McDonald on Nutrition | ETP#152
This week we have none other than Lyle McDonald himself on the show. Lyle has authored a number of books on nutrition and training in the early to mid 2000’s that helped shape many of the concepts in the industry that are now commonplace. He’s also quite the polarizing figure and for good reason too.
This is a two part episode, where we spent over an hour discussing training, then another hour on nutrition. Tons of gems of knowledge delivered as only Lyle can!

N1 Hypertrophy Camp; Spring Training Programs | ETP#150
Episode 150 centers around Bryan’s recent weekend at the N1 HQ for Hypertrophy Camp with numerous experiments exploring “lengthened exposures” and training density. We think that you will find some of the outcomes here rather thought provoking, as did we. Bryan wraps up the episode expanding upon Episode 143, where he turned a version of his 10 Exercises for Life into a twice weekly program he will run this Spring as he again shifts his training prioritization towards a cardio focused modality.
