Episode 2965: Christian Finn unpacks the truth behind the muscle pump, revealing that while it feels great and offers some hypertrophic benefits, it isn't essential for muscle growth. Research shows you can build muscle with or without the pump, and incorporating both heavy lifting and pump-focused training can maximize results. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://muscleevo.net/pump-muscle/ Quotes to ponder: "A pump is the fix and rush of bodybuilding. It is the workout gone inside: the exercise swallowed and digested, metabolizing visibly into growth." "It is likely that exercise centered on achieving a 'pump' through higher repetition sets combined with shorter rest periods also provides a potent hypertrophic stimulus that is synergistic to heavy compound lifting." "Getting a pump feels good. Arnold Schwarzenegger called it 'the greatest feeling you can get in the gym.'" Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Episode 2873: Christian Finn dismantles the "eat big to get big" myth, explaining that while adequate nutrition is necessary for muscle growth, there's a limit to how much your body can actually use. Overeating beyond that point just leads to fat gain, not faster muscle development. Finding the right balance between training and diet is key to building muscle efficiently while minimizing fat accumulation. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://muscleevo.net/eat-big-to-get-big/ Quotes to ponder: "What do I mean by permissive? I mean that nutrition can permit the growth of muscle tissue but it is not the root cause. That is the function of training." "You can train to grow, but you cannot truly eat to grow." "The last thing you want is to have a large proportion of your weight gain come from fat, and then have to waste time and energy getting rid of it all." Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 2797: Christian Finn sheds light on the surprising difficulty of achieving a six-pack, likening fat loss to the exponential power needed to accelerate a Bugatti Veyron. As you lose fat, progress slows because your body has less fat available to burn, making those final pounds the toughest to shed. His insights provide clarity for anyone striving for "ripped" abs, emphasizing patience and realistic expectations. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://muscleevo.net/getting-ripped/ Quotes to ponder: "Getting a six-pack is like driving a Bugatti Veyron the faster you go, the harder it gets to gain even more speed." "The more fat you lose, the harder it gets to lose even more." "In short, you should expect your rate of fat loss to gradually slow down the leaner you get." Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 2743: Christian Finn challenges the common belief that eating six small meals a day aids fat loss. Through a meta-analysis, Finn reveals that meal frequency has little to no impact on weight loss or muscle retention. Ultimately, personal preference and dietary adherence matter more than how often you eat, with no "one size fits all" solution for improving body composition. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://muscleevo.net/six-small-meals-a-day/ Quotes to ponder: "The small difference in magnitude of effect between frequencies suggests that any potential benefits, if they exist at all, have limited practical significance." "Adherence is of primary concern with respect to nutritional prescription, the number of daily meals consumed should come down to personal choice if one's goal is to improve body composition."

"The idea that you should stop training after 45 minutes because you reach some kind of hormonal 'tipping point' is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard." "Some workouts lasting more than 90 minutes have been shown to raise testosterone above resting levels for at least two hours after the workout has finished."

Episode 2672: Christian Finn of MuscleEvo.net debunks the common claim that squats and other compound exercises significantly increase testosterone levels and accelerate muscle growth. Despite temporary hormonal spikes post-exercise, the research indicates these effects are too fleeting to impact muscle hypertrophy or strength gains meaningfully. Finn recommends focusing on overall lifestyle changes for lasting hormonal balance. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://muscleevo.net/squats-testosterone/ Quotes to ponder: "Heavy resistance training involving large muscle groups does have the potential to increase post-training testosterone levels." "Any temporary surge in post-training hormone levels is too small to have any impact on muscle protein synthesis, muscle fiber hypertrophy or strength gains." "In one study, the increase in free testosterone levels immediately after squats ranged from roughly 40 to 55 percent above baseline."

Finn argues that the body's glycogen stores are sufficient to fuel high-intensity workouts during fasting periods, and with the right dietary approach, muscle can still be gained. He addresses common concerns and offers insights into optimizing fasted training for muscle growth and fat loss. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://muscleevo.net/fasted-weight-training/ Quotes to ponder: "Lifting weights, sprinting, doing CrossFit WODS, and other high-intensity activities all depend on carbs for fuel. If you perform any of these activities during (or worse, at the end of) your fast, your performance will suffer." "Fasted weight training is not the catabolic, performance-sapping menace that many claim. A bout of strength training, even when it's done during a fasted period, will still lead to muscle being gained." "As long as the right dietary boxes are being ticked, muscle will still be gained whether weight training is done in a fasted or non-fasted state." Learn more about your ad choices.

"Fasted weight training is not the catabolic, performance-sapping menace that many claim. A bout of strength training, even when it's done during a fasted period, will still lead to muscle being gained." "As long as the right dietary boxes are being ticked, muscle will still be gained whether weight training is done in a fasted or non-fasted state." Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 2432: Christian Finn's article explores the controversial practice of cold water immersion after workouts. While acknowledging benefits like reduced soreness and improved mood, Finn delves into research suggesting that ice baths might impede muscle growth. He highlights studies showing less muscle hypertrophy in those using ice baths post-exercise, proposing that ice baths may diminish the body's natural muscle-building response. Finn also discusses the possibility of psychological effects playing a role in perceived recovery benefits. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://muscleevo.net/ice-baths-muscle-growth/ Quotes to ponder: "Cold water immersion appeared to put the brakes on muscle growth, with the passive recovery group – the guys who sat in a chair for 15 minutes after each workout – posting the biggest increase in the size of their fast-twitch muscle fibers." "In short, by working against your body's natural response to tissue damage, you may end up slowing your progress rather than speeding it up."

Whether you’re totally new to the gym or have plenty of experience, you’ve likely struggled with trying to make sense of conflicting diet, training, and supplementation advice. No matter where you go online, for instance, you’re sure to find seemingly-credible people with completely different and often contradictory viewpoints and suggestions. Instagram influencer XYZ says the key to losing fat is a keto diet, with a strict 6-hour eating window on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. But Fitness Blog #532 of Guru Zed claims that studies show you can get ripped eating all of the carbs you’d like on any schedule you’d like. The key, he claims, is you just have to stop eating harmful, gut-destroying lectins found in nutritious foods like tomatoes, potatoes, beans, and peanuts. In fact, if you look hard enough in this space, you can find someone with bonafides making a seemingly plausible argument for doing just about anything you can imagine to boost fat loss and muscle growth. How do you separate the sheep from the goats? How do you know who to trust? That’s exactly what I’m discussing with this episode's podcast guest, Christian Finn. In case you’re not familiar with Christian, he’s a researcher and writer who holds a masters degree in exercise science and is the creator of Muscle Evo and Gutless, a science-backed nutrition system for getting rid of fat. His work has been featured in Men’s Health, Vice, BBC TV, as well as Jonathan Goodman’s PTDC. In this episode, we chat about . . . The cyclical nature of fads and fitness info Why expectations matter and the necessity of accepting diminishing returns How to separate the charlatans from the experts “Shiny object syndrome” When to change your mind and why your views should evolve over time When and why to switch training programs And more . . . So if you’ve ever wondered why there’s so much conflicting advice out there, and how you can be sure you’re not getting hoodwinked, listen to this episode. 6:43 - How did you use your time during COVID differently? 15:23 - Where should people start to get more progress? 22:31 - How does a person separate the wheat from the chaff? 34:38 - How do you deal with that process of changing your mind? 39:54 - What are some of the barriers people experience from conflicting ideas on fitness advice? When should someone consider switching training programs? --- Mentioned on The Show: Christian Finn’s Website & Books: https://muscleevo.net/ Legion VIP One-on-One Coaching: https://legionathletics.com/coaching/ --- Want free workout and meal plans?

Every day I hear from people in their 40s and even 30s who are worried it’s too late to get into great shape. If you’ve spent any time around these parts, you know this isn’t true. So long as you know what you’re doing with your diet and training, you don’t have to be in your 20s to build a body you can be proud of. You can do it just about any age, really. There are a few things you have to do differently as you get older, though. The main thing that changes is your ability to recover from your workouts declines, and this often manifests in more muscle, joint, and tendon soreness after training, and particularly if you’re working hard in the gym. Many middle-aged people aren’t prepared for this and think they can just grind through the pain like they did in college, but this usually leads to further injury, overtraining, and burnout. My friend and fellow researcher and writer, Christian Finn, knows a thing or two about this himself. He’s over 40 himself and in great shape, has worked with thousands of people, and recently had to slog through a rather nasty bout of joint problems, and in this interview, I pick his brain on what happened and why, what he did about it, and what we can do to give our joints a break without sacrificing our hard-earned muscle. In this episode, you’re going to learn: - What causes most joint injuries in older lifters - The right and wrong ways of dealing with joint injuries - Christian’s favorite exercises for “training around” joint problems - How to program your workouts to prevent and fix joint issues - And more. Mentioned on the Show: Recharge: https://www.muscleforlife.com/store/supplements/recharge/ Muscle Evo MX4: https://muscleevo.com/mx4/ 9:39 - How old are you? 10:43 - Did you stop playing tennis after your knee injury? 12:01 - Do you think tennis injuries are related to volume overloads or is it just the nature of the sport? 12:45 - How did the strings of your tennis racket cause elbow problems? 13:22 - Does a tennis ball produce more spin if it spends more time on the surface of the rack? 15:04 - What kind of joint pain were you suffering from and how did that impact your training? 16:09 - Was your knee pain above or below the knee cap? 27:59 - Did you do split squats for your lower body as an alternative? 41:36 - What are the criteria for determining whether you are progressing or not? 44:17 - What did you do as an alternative for pulling? 48:12 - Where can people find you and your work?
