This week on the Optimal Protein Podcast, I'm thrilled to be joined once again by Dr. Don Layman, one of the world's foremost experts in protein metabolism and amino acid science. In this first part of our two-part conversation, we take a deep dive into the true definition of protein quality, the flaws of current scoring systems, and the metabolic significance of leucine as a primary trigger for muscle protein synthesis. Dr. Layman also introduces the EAA-9 protein quality model, a new way of evaluating protein sources that takes into account the body's exact essential amino acid requirements—moving beyond methods like PDCAAS. Get 20% off on the Tone LUX Crystal Red Light Therapy Mask Ketogenicgirl.com with the code VANESSA We also discuss: Why protein quality should be defined by amino acid content, not nitrogen How leucine “shows up in nature” in exact ratios that muscle recognizes The four key signals muscle responds to: energy, leucine, insulin, and IGF-1 What activates and suppresses mTOR, and why AMPK shuts down MPS in low energy states How protein turnover drives up to 20% of your resting metabolic rate The concept of metabolic prioritization and what happens when your diet lacks adequate EAAs Why the term “protein requirement” is misleading—and why we actually have amino acid requirements Dr. Layman's response to the 100 g of protein study on protein distribution  A preview of what's really happening during fat loss, and how muscle preservation strategies can make or break long-term success This episode is a masterclass in muscle metabolism, protein science, and the tools you need to optimize your nutrition—especially for fat loss and body recomposition.

Can you maintain your muscle mass with just one full-body workout per week? Are planned deload weeks necessary or overrated? How do you balance squats and deadlifts in the same training program? We're in the midst of summer and it's time to answer your best questions! We have five questions this week, and we'll finish this Q&A round next week with five more. Timestamps: 01:50 - Question 1: How long can you maintain your muscle mass with just one full-body workout weekly? 07:15 - Question 2: Is there any benefit to regularly adding wall-sits to your training to increase your maximum strength in the squat? I hope the answer is no because it's a f*cking pain. 12:20—Question 3: Can you please talk about deloading? I've been lifting since January. Should I do deloads periodically? 17:55 - Question 4: Why do you have so many exercises in the StrengthLog app? Don't you think it might trick people into doing anything other than deadlifts? 21:15 - Question 5: I would love it if you could talk about the difficulties of balancing squats and deadlifts within a training program. *** Do you like what you hear so far?

I sat down with Marcus Filly to talk about what happens when training stops being about beating records and starts being about feeling better - mentally, emotionally and physically. We explored how Marcus shifted from elite CrossFit competition to founding Functional Bodybuilding, a method that puts longevity and mental clarity at the centre of fitness. Marcus opened up about burnout, fatherhood and the pressure to perform, and shared how he rebuilt a more sustainable relationship with training. We also got into what's broken in fitness culture, how social media influences the way people move, and why slowing down can actually make you stronger, and saner. Find out more about Marcus's work here: https://functional-bodybuilding.com/ ----------------------------------------------- Marcus Filly is the founder of Functional Bodybuilding. After leaving medical school, he shifted his focus to health and fitness as a more direct way to help people through training and nutrition. With a background in competitive soccer and CrossFit, Marcus ran a CrossFit affiliate before evolving his coaching approach to prioritize individualization. Following burnout after the 2016 CrossFit Games and the birth of his first child, he developed Functional Bodybuilding to support longevity, sustainability and aesthetic performance in training. ----------------------------------------------- As a special gift for you, our loyal listeners, we are offering $200 off our flagship course, the Certificate of Embodiment Coaching when you use code: CECPOD  More info here: https://embodimentunlimited.com/cec ----------------------------------------------- Check out our YouTube channel for more coaching tips and our Podcast channel for full episode videos Uplevel your coaching with a free copy of Mark's latest eBook, The Top 12 Embodiment Coaching Techniques  Join Mark for those juicy in-person workshops and events Fancy some free coaching demo sessions with Mark?  Connect with Mark Walsh on Instagram

What's worse, you'll probably FAIL at the attempt to become a cookie-cutter alpha male clone.In this video, I break down why most masculinity advice is just projection from guys who happened to be good at something.

The pull-up is one of the most classic strength training exercises you can do, and also one of the best! But how do you manage your first rep if you can't do pull-ups today, and how should you train to progress to 10+ reps? Or should you stick to lat pulldowns instead? In this episode, we also discuss the biomechanics and muscles used in the pull-up and lat pulldown, as well as their pros and cons. This is the sixth and final episode in our series covering ”The Big 6” exercises: the bench press, squat, deadlift, overhead press, different kinds of rows, and pull-up/lat pulldown. *** Do you like what you hear so far?

Send us a textWhat if your greatest strength becomes your biggest obstacle to transformation? Toney Freeman, once known as "The X-Man" in professional bodybuilding, reveals the powerful journey that took him from bodybuilding glory to spiritual awakening.Toney's story begins with his strict upbringing as a preacher's kid, which established boundaries that would later save him from complete self-destruction. Despite reaching the pinnacles of bodybuilding and entertainment, Tony found himself spiritually empty until a profound physical and spiritual reset changed everything. "I literally doubled my flesh," Toney explains, describing how his body grew from 162 to 323 pounds at his peak, accumulating not just muscle but spiritual baggage along the way.The turning point came through an unexpected crisis – the discovery of a parasite in his kidney that conventional medicine couldn't treat. Toney describes in vivid detail how divine intervention, alongside fasting, prayer, and natural remedies, led to his dramatic healing and transformation. This experience fundamentally changed his relationship with his body, his approach to fitness, and his spiritual practice.Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate Toney's surprising insights about muscle function and exercise technique. Contrary to expectations for someone with his massive physique, Tony reveals he typically used low weights with perfect form, explaining that "heavy is relative" and most people sacrifice effectiveness by lifting too heavy. His approach to training mirrors his spiritual philosophy – focus on function rather than appearance, substance over show.Throughout our conversation, Toney weaves together practical advice on physical health with profound spiritual insights. He offers listeners simple starting points for their own cleansing journey, including fasting protocols and nutrition tips, while emphasizing that true healing must address both physical and spiritual dimensions.Ready to start your own transformation journey? Connect with Toney on Instagram @tfxman305 or find him on Facebook to learn more about cleansing your temple and aligning your physical health with spiritual wellness.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! You know, lately I've noticed something strange. It feels like every celebrity these days is... jacked. Like, not just in “good shape.” I'm talking veins popping out of places I didn't even know veins existed. I mean, back in the day, you had, what? 2 or 3 action stars. But now? Even the comedians are huge. Like, why is Jim from the Office looking like he's training for the Olympics?? All this got me thinking… When did we get so obsessed with muscles? Because I don't remember Leonardo DiCaprio or Harrison Ford being jacked. They were just normal dudes. Where did it start? And is it even healthy to be so muscular? Today, we're taking a little trip back in time to talk about the sweaty, sexy, and strange and Dark History of… bodybuilding. I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History. I sometimes talk about my Good Reads in the show. So here's the link if you want to check it out.
