I answer your questions on everything from blood flow restriction training to building muscle without living in a permanent bulk. He kicks things off by unboxing his new BFR cuffs and explaining why he refuses to have “expert” opinions on things he hasn't actually tried yet, then uses that as a springboard into the bigger theme of the day: trusting your own experience over fitness dogma and internet hype.From there, the conversation dives into practical training strategy: why eating in a long-term caloric surplus can actually slow your overall muscle growth, how to balance training to failure with hypertrophy work, and why cardio-style circuits often fall short when your real goal is building muscle. Matt also breaks down smart variation in calisthenics to prevent overuse issues, how much warm up you really need, and whether you can build 5K and 10K endurance without doing much running.You'll also hear about: • Using blood flow restriction as a tool without overcomplicating your training • The “tortoise vs hare” approach to long-term hypertrophy and body composition • Programming heavy vs lighter “cardio-based” strength work • Rotating exercise variations to protect joints without killing progress • Isometric IsoMax moves that carry over to better push ups and pull ups • Managing elbow pain with better scapular support • Why you don't need bulking, cutting, or macro micromanagement to look better • The difference between what's effective and what's actually necessaryMatt also shares details on the free 28-day starting calisthenics challenge, the Delta Digest email list, and the upcoming RDP video advent calendar focused on making fitness easier and more effective.

This episode examines how low-load Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training can enhance outcomes during Phase 2 of ACL reconstruction rehabilitation. Building on Part 1—which covered pre-operative and acute post-operative strategies—this instalment focuses on integrating BFR into early strengthening when high mechanical loads are still contraindicated. Key findings from several clinical trials demonstrate that BFR can: • Improve early quadriceps strength recovery compared with traditional low-load rehabilitation. • Produce hypertrophy comparable to heavy-load training but with much lower joint stress. • Reduce pain, swelling, and functional deficits during the early post-operative period. • Assist with restoring long-term limb symmetry, even months after surgery, through modalities such as BFR walking. Together, these studies highlight BFR as a valuable adjunct in ACL rehabilitation, particularly when protecting the graft and surrounding joint structures while still driving meaningful physiological adaptation.

Your workouts may be doing less than you think, and science now proves why. This episode reveals how to build muscle, improve metabolism, and extend longevity in a fraction of the time using blood flow restriction training and intermittent hypoxia. You'll learn how to hack your mitochondria for faster recovery, stronger hormonal balance, and better brain performance without the burnout of high-intensity training. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey talks with Dr. Sten Stray-Gundersen, PhD, CSCS, one of the world's leading experts on blood flow restriction (BFR) training and metabolic physiology. With over a decade of research and teaching experience, Dr. Stray-Gundersen has explored how BFR and intermittent hypoxia can improve cardiovascular health, metabolism, and recovery. After earning his doctorate in Exercise Physiology from the University of Texas at Austin, he now serves as an Assistant Professor at the University of South Carolina, where he studies vascular adaptations, cognitive performance, and ergogenic aids. He's also a B Strong master trainer, developing individualized BFR protocols for athletes, military professionals, and everyday people looking to optimize human performance. Together, Dave and Sten uncover how BFR and oxygen cycling unlock powerful adaptations in the body's vascular, metabolic, and hormonal systems. You'll learn how strategic stress signals can trigger nitric oxide production, enhance glucose uptake, improve insulin sensitivity, and supercharge mitochondria for better energy and anti-aging benefits. They also explore how these methods can naturally boost testosterone, growth hormone, and even libido, all while protecting the nervous system and improving recovery. This episode dives deep into biohacking, functional medicine, and smart exercise efficiency, from Zone 2 and REHIT training to nitric oxide signaling, fasting, nootropics, and precision supplementation. Whether your goal is longevity, strength, or sharper cognition, this conversation shows you how to get maximum results with minimal time using the principles of Smarter Not Harder. You'll Learn:• How intermittent hypoxia works at the level of partial pressure and why altitude acclimation upgrades mitochondria and performance• Why hypoxia and muscle contraction increase glucose uptake independent of insulin and improve insulin sensitivity• How blood flow restriction (BFR) accelerates fatigue with light loads to drive hypertrophy, strength, and vascular adaptations• How BFR and hypoxia influence testosterone, growth hormone, nitric oxide, and libido through short, targeted stress• The roles of ENOS, INOS, and NNOS in nitric oxide signaling and what that means for circulation and brain perfusion• Who benefits most from BFR, including athletes, rehab patients, and older adults who cannot lift heavy• Why BFR produces systemic and “proximal” gains, including carryover to glutes and upper body during lower limb training• How to stack BFR with Zone 2, REHIT, and vibration plates for VO2 max, muscle, and time efficiencyDave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Osteoporosis affects 10 million Americans, and research shows resistance training effectively builds bone density by creating mechanical stress that signals bone-building cells to strengthen skeletal structure Weightlifting (80% to 85% of your 1 rep max) performed two to three times weekly produces the greatest bone density gains, while walking and swimming provide insufficient force for bone strengthening Essential exercises include squats, deadlifts, incline pushups, hip rotations, and chair squats, progressing gradually in intensity while maintaining proper form to minimize injury risk Blood flow restriction (BFR) training, also known as KAATSU in Japan, enhances bone formation markers even at low intensities, allowing effective muscle and bone strengthening without heavy weights or pain Consistency matters most. Research shows that training for one year or more significantly improves bone mineral density, cortical thickness, and overall bone geometry across all ages and genders

In this episode of BFR Radio, we begin a new series exploring how blood flow restriction (BFR) training can support rehabilitation following major injuries and surgery. For the first episode in this series we are focusing on the acute phase of ACL reconstruction — the period before and immediately after surgery when exercise is limited. You'll hear how pre-operative BFR strengthening can help protect quadriceps endurance heading into surgery, how passive BFR can reduce post-operative muscle loss by more than half, and how combining BFR with neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) offers a promising strategy to maintain muscle size during immobilisation. Key studies discussed: Zargi et al. – Pre-operative BFR exercise before ACL reconstruction Takarada et al. – Passive BFR in the first 2 weeks after ACLR Franz et al. – Passive BFR following knee replacement Slysz et al. – Passive BFR with NMES during unloading Whether you're a clinician, coach, or athlete, this episode provides practical insights into using BFR at the earliest stages of ACL rehabilitation to set the foundation for long-term recovery.

Blood flow restriction (BFR) training allows people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to build muscle, improve mobility, and reduce pain using very light resistance, avoiding the joint stress of heavy lifting Eccentric exercises — the slow “lowering” phase of movements — help increase muscle mass, lower blood pressure, reduce body fat, and restore daily function without triggering flare-ups In studies, RA patients who followed structured BFR or eccentric training programs reported higher strength, better endurance, and greater ease in performing everyday activities The Arthritis Foundation emphasizes gentle, consistent movement such as stretching, swimming, walking, and balance training as key to protecting joints and slowing disease progression Combining light-load eccentric exercise with BFR offers a safe, effective way to rebuild strength, stability, and independence while keeping inflammation and discomfort in check

In this episode - I interview British Strength coach Alex Miller, who shares insights from his journey working with Kabuki Strength and Chris Duffin and developing the first ever AI App for strength coaching mechanics. Alex is a coach, strength scientist, and systems architect whose work combines biomechanics, physiology, and adaptive programming. Drawing on models of fatigue from Noakes, Marcora, and Enoka, he develops falsifiable, stress-indexed frameworks for training that have been applied to multiple world-record level athletes.He is the mind behind LiftLab, a platform that unifies neuromechanical profiling, force-vector taxonomy, and autoregulation with real-time data from velocity tracking and pose estimation. He also develops CueUp, an open-source Python engine for automated exercise analysis and program generation. Grounded in critical rationalism, his work treats every prescription as a testable hypothesis, bridging sports science, philosophy, and engineering to advance evidence-driven strength training.The conversation emphasizes the importance of sleep, simple nutrition, and foundational fitness, while also highlighting the value of critical thinking and continuous learning in the fitness industry. Alex also introduces upcoming educational resources for coaches and athletes - we also spoke about- Conditioning for First RespondersPhysical Preparedness: Mental toughness is crucial, but physical readiness is non-negotiable for roles like firefighters and police officers.Sustainable Training: Simple, consistent cardio and strength training can significantly improve performance without overwhelming busy schedules.Lifestyle Factors: Quality sleep and proper nutrition are foundational for enhancing physical capacity and overall well-being.Skool Platform: A fantastic resource for educational content and community support, spearheaded by World Record Holder Chris Duffin.Monthly Books: Upcoming releases packed with practical information, like power training for athletes over 40 and innovative uses of blood flow restriction (BFR) training.I hope these highlights spark your curiosity and entice you to dive into the full episode. Alex's journey and insights are truly inspiring, and there's so much more to explore in our conversation.

In this highly requested follow-up, Dr. Arny Ferrando returns to the Optimal Protein Podcast to go even deeper into the science of preserving muscle and optimizing body composition. Dr. Ferrando is one of the world's leading researchers in muscle protein metabolism, with over 35 years of groundbreaking work on essential amino acids, anabolic resistance, and nutrition-exercise interactions. We kick things off with his perspective on Protein-Sparing Modified Fasts (PSMF) versus water fasting, and the implications each has for fat loss and lean mass preservation. Dr. Ferrando also shares his positive take on collagen supplementation, including how it can support connective tissue health, and weighs in on the potential risks of GLP-1 medications to muscle tissue during rapid weight loss.

Dr. Ferrando also shares his positive take on collagen supplementation, including how it can support connective tissue health, and weighs in on the potential risks of GLP-1 medications to muscle tissue during rapid weight loss. The heart of this episode dives into anabolic resistance during menopause. Dr. Ferrando explains why it may not just be about hormones, but also about impaired nutrient delivery to muscle. He describes amino acids as the “signal” and blood flow as the “delivery truck”—a powerful analogy that reveals why exercise is so critical to overcoming anabolic resistance. We explore practical strategies for women to preserve muscle and improve body composition during midlife and beyond, including: Why blood flow and nutrient delivery may matter as much as hormones. How red light therapy and blood flow restriction training (BFR) could enhance amino acid delivery and muscle responsiveness. His recommendations for EAA dosing, timing, and frequency in peri- and postmenopausal women. The role of microvascular health and endothelial function in muscle retention. Why free-form EAAs are more efficient than intact protein under calorie restriction.

Neuro rehab / neuro wellness… if you're listening to this podcast chances are anything you're doing is skilled! On today's show you're going to be inspired by Chris McElderry, PT, DPT, NCS as he shares his journey with host Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS. Chris went into PT with a sports focus but quickly realized neuro was where it's at. After completing his neuro residency and working full time in outpatient he was compelled to expand. He wanted to provide inspiration and ideas to other clinicians on social media and also grow his own wellness side gig. Chris, also known as @theneuroguy_dpt founded The Neuro Guy LLC, a wellness and coaching company, in 2022. In this episode he talks about how he overcame hesitation and fear of doing neuro wellness outside of the insurance model and prioritized giving people what they needed to thrive. One of the treatment interventions he's using is blood flow restriction (BFR) training for neurological populations. Chris explains the mechanism behind BFR training, a technique that uses specialized cuffs to partially restrict blood flow during low-intensity exercises. He describes the potential benefits for patients with conditions like stroke, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injuries, emphasizing its safety and effectiveness when properly implemented. He maintains that despite loads of research for BFR in the orthopedic population, it's just emerging in neuro, and he's ready for it to grow. If you want to learn more about BFR in neuro, join us inside NeuroSpark when we open again Sept 16, 2025! Chris will be presenting an educational webinar on the topic inside!

In this episode, host Chris Duffin sits down with guest Anthony Castor for a deep dive into the world of recovery, healing, and performance optimization—specifically through the lens of peptides and beyond. Building on their recent conversation, Chris reveals his unique framework for developing cutting-edge recovery protocols, which combines four essential pillars: cellular, neurological, biomechanical, and hydrodynamic approaches. Together, they unpack how these modalities—ranging from peptide therapies and blood flow restriction to innovative equipment design and red light therapy—can be strategically layered for maximum results without redundancy. Listen in as Chris and Anthony share game-changing insights, remarkable case studies, and a behind-the-scenes look at the thought process that underpins some of today's most advanced healing methods. Here are my top 3 takeaways: Four “Unlocks” to Human Physiology: Chris's model addresses cellular, neurological, biomechanical, and hydrodynamic (fluid/nutrient movement) factors—stacking recovery and training modalities for maximum results. Synergy > Redundancy: Instead of relying on a single method (like just peptides or just BFR), Chris stresses building protocols that combine different tools—shockwave, red light therapy, blood flow restriction, etc.—to trigger adaptation through multiple pathways for accelerated and more sustainable healing. Framework Over Fads: The most effective coaches and protocols don't just copy what works for others. They adapt and personalize, choosing the right tools based on goals, willingness, and lifestyle—always learning from diverse experts and continuously building the right system for the individual. This episode of the ARCHITECT of RESILIENCE podcast is available on Apple, Spotify & YouTube, and is sponsored by @marekhealth : Performance. Longevity. Optimization.

Episode 73 - Intergalactic BFR with Luke Hughes, PhD Summary In this episode, Johnny Owens and Dr. Luke Hughes discuss the applications of Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) in space and its potential to mitigate deconditioning in astronauts. They explore the physiological changes that occur in microgravity, the importance of exercise countermeasures, and the innovative research being conducted to understand the mechanisms behind BFR's effectiveness. The conversation also touches on the implications of BFR for bone health, clinical applications, and future research directions. Takeaways BFR is a promising tool for mitigating muscle and bone deconditioning in space. Fluid shifts in microgravity can lead to significant health issues for astronauts. BFR can enhance the effectiveness of low-intensity aerobic exercise. Research is ongoing to understand the mechanisms behind BFR's benefits for bone health. BFR protocols need to be personalized for different patient populations. The use of BFR in clinical settings shows potential for improving recovery outcomes. BFR can help prevent amputations in patients with severe vascular issues. Understanding the impact of pressure on blood flow is crucial for optimizing BFR protocols. BFR can be integrated into rehabilitation programs for various conditions. Future research will focus on the long-term effects of BFR in both space and clinical settings.

If you want to get leaner and live longer, check out https://milliondollarbodylabs.com/ What if the reason you keep failing on your diet has nothing to do with food... and everything to do with how you see yourself? In this episode, I sat down with registered dietitian Andres Ayesta to talk about why fat loss isn't about finding the perfect meal plan. We talked about how most people chase quick fixes like keto or 75 Hard, but never shift their identity. Andrés shared how he helps clients focus less on perfection and more on becoming the kind of person who lives healthy habits day after day. We broke down why mindset matters more than macros, why confusion around food is often intentional, and how sustainable results come from building simple routines and aligning your actions with your long-term vision. Key Takeaways: People won't act outside their identity—mindset comes first. Having a plan after “the plan” is key to sustainability. Athletes succeed with focus and a growth mindset, not just genetics. Resources: Andrés Ayesta is a registered dietitian and online nutrition coach who helps busy men over 30 improve their health through simple, sustainable habits. With a background in sports nutrition and years of experience working with both athletes and everyday clients, he focuses on mindset, behavior change, and building long-term systems—not quick fixes.
