In this episode we move on from nutrition and delve into the optimal exercise regime to build muscle and shred fat.  We cover and critique the popular Mike Mentzer approach, and show why this may not be an ideal way to train for maximum results. If you missed Part 1 with Dr Jocic where we cover the nutrtion of the Golden Era bodybuilders such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Serge Nubret, Vince Gironda, and more then make sure to go back and watch it now! Dr. Nash Jocic, PhD is a rare blend of scholar, athlete, and author whose life bridges the worlds of philosophy and muscle. With a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Lincoln, Dr. Jocic has published academic work on Nietzsche's aesthetics and ethics, exploring how ideas of beauty, meaning, and moral purpose intersect. Yet his intellectual credentials are only one facet of his identity. For over 30 years, Dr. Jocic has been deeply embedded in the world of fitness and bodybuilding. He's competed in numerous bodybuilding events, earning a reputation for transforming his own physique and coaching others to do the same. Through his company NashFit Personal Training, he's coached clients across London and beyond, blending scientific precision with decades of hands-on experience. As an author, Dr. Jocic has produced several books and guides aimed at practical transformation. Titles include Burn Fat Build Muscle and Weight Training for Men: The Ultimate Guide to Muscle Growth and Fat Loss. His writing brings together his philosophical rigour and training wisdom, offering readers grounded, research-informed strategies for body recomposition and long-term health.  In this episode, we'll dive into how Dr. Jocic merges his philosophical mindset with decades of physical discipline, uncovering lessons not just about lifting and nutrition — but about identity, mindset, and sustainable transformation.   If you liked this and want to learn more go to my new website www.DrAnthonyChaffee.com

In this episode, Dr. Jockers explains why building muscle is key for anti-aging and longevity. Muscle protects against sarcopenia, stabilizes blood sugar, lowers inflammation, and supports brain health through compounds called myokines.   Resistance training is the foundation. Learn how to use compound movements, train in the right rep ranges, and recover properly to build strong muscle that lasts instead of chasing short-term gains.   Nutrition and fasting are just as important. Dr. Jockers covers protein targets, calorie balance, carb cycling, and intermittent fasting strategies that fuel muscle growth while keeping your body metabolically flexible.     In This Episode:  00:00 Introduction to Muscle Building Myths 00:23 Welcome and Overview of Muscle Building for Longevity 01:33 Menopause and Natural Solutions 03:21 How to Build Muscle for Longevity 08:34 Importance of Resistance Training 13:11 Diet and Protein Intake 16:06 Intermittent Fasting and Its Benefits 20:43 Carb Cycling and Caloric Intake 23:40 Sun Exposure and Sleep for Muscle Growth 28:18 Conclusion and Final Thoughts   If you want to burn belly fat…boost your energy levels…balance blood sugar…or relieve swelling in your legs or feet… Then you need to check out PureHealth Research immediately.

Fitness Program (32 days left- LAW #5 Muscle Growth & Consistency). I talk about my own journey of times when I was most or least consistent, what I noticed with depression and insomnia in those times, and what I noticed about my energy, focus, and mood as well as just general intellectual abilities. How I am doing with tracking meals, eating healthier ingredients, deciding about which fitness routines to use for caloric deficits versus caloric surpluses.

If I could go back and start my fitness journey all over again? I'd do a lot less spinning my wheels, and a lot more of what actually works.In this Q&A episode, I'm breaking down exactly what I'd do differently if I were starting from scratch today. No fake motivation. No shiny routines. Just the five shifts that would've saved me years of burnout, frustration, and wasted energy.We're talking about why lifting weights (intentionally, not endlessly) would be my day one move, why soreness and sweat mean less than you think, and how protein and walking changed everything for me, but not in the way Instagram makes it seem.I'm also getting into the habits I used to skip that now feel non-negotiable and why I wish I'd stopped treating under-eating like a flex.If you're in your start-over era, or just tired of doing the most and feeling the least, this one's for you.What's Discussed:  (00:00) If I could start my fitness journey over…(05:08) Why strength training would be my day one(08:03) The truth about soreness and sweat(13:56) How under-eating held me back(17:33) Walking for recovery, not just rings(20:11) The warm-up I used to skip (and now swear by)(24:14) You don't need more, you need the right thingsThank You to Our Sponsors:Broads: Ready to ditch the BS and start feeling strong in your body?

In this episode of Muscle Intelligence, Ben Pakulski sits down with Dr. Eduardo De Souza, one of the top hypertrophy researchers in the world, to break down the real science behind building muscle. They unpack why most studies don't use the gold standard (MRI), how ultrasound stacks up, and whether training volume, exercise selection, or rep schemes truly matter. They explore the myths around sarcoplasmic hypertrophy, how aging affects muscle quality, and what actually determines growth after 40. Whether you're a coach, athlete, or lifelong lifter, this is essential knowledge for training smarter, not just harder. Get ready for a deep, clear, and evidence-backed conversation on hypertrophy like you've never heard before.   Points To Watch Out For  MRI is still the gold standard for hypertrophy Ultrasound can be a valid, cheaper alternative Aging muscle shows more fibrous, non-contractile tissue High volume ≠ always better gains, individual response matters Effective Reps Model lacks peer-reviewed validation About Ben Ben Pakulski is the Chief Performance Officer to elite executives, successful entrepreneurs, and top athletes.
