One idea in the fitness community that just won't die is that you need to do high rep sets (10's, 15's, 20's) when the goal is to build muscle. What so many people miss in this conversation, however, is that the context matters. To start with, the lift matters! Squats for sets of 10 or 15 are probably not a productive use or your time, because the fatigue generated from heavy compound lifts usually causes technique breakdown as you approach failure. Lying triceps extensions, on the other hand, can and should be pushed for sets of 10 or more.   Dr. Santana and Coach Trent break down the idea of high rep sets, and discuss when they might be appropriate and how they deploy them. As Santana explains, most of the bodybuilding advice out there about high rep sets is targeted toward fine muscular development -- advanced bodybuilders chasing muscular growth in specfic areas. But most people trying to improve their physique are really looking for gross muscular development, that is, growing the whole body, and that is best accomplished by heavy compound lifts with assistance work peppered in as needed for more advanced trainees.   Weights & Plates: https://weightsandplates.com Robert Santana on Instagram: @the_robert_santana   Trent Jones: @marmalade_cream https://www.jonesbarbellclub.com

Get ready to shatter stereotypes as we journey through the controversial domain of testosterone and steroids in sports with our high-profile guest, Rick Collins Esq., an internationally recognized legal authority on everything from sports nutrition and bodybuilding supplements to performance-enhancing substances. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that promises to challenge preconceived notions, bringing you face to face with the surprising reality that 80% of non-medical steroid users are not athletes but individuals seeking physical enhancements for purely cosmetic purposes. Timeline:0:00 – Introduction – the 1996 publication on Androgens – it's not as harmful as folks make it out to be in otherwise healthy males.4:43 – Remember 100-meter sprinter Ben Johnson? Why is testosterone maligned? What are the socio-cultural aspects of this?7:14 – Testosterone as a metaphor for masculinity; traditional masculinity is maligned.7:39 - American Psychological Association in 2019 – Traditional masculinity is toxic9:05 – Does bodybuilding contribute to the stigma of anabolic steroids?9:20 – Rick was the only lawyer that lifted weights when he was in law school. C'mon lawyers, lift some weights!12:21 - Who actually uses anabolic steroids and why? Cyclists? Pro Athletes? Not so fast…80% of users in a non-medical context are using it for cosmetic purposes. 18:00 – T helps body composition but is frowned upon; juxtapose that with cosmetic procedures that women routinely take that likely carry greater risk. A double standard?23:47 – Rick covers the legality of the possession and sale of androgens.28:28 – ACSM promoted total BS about androgens back in the 70s and 80s.32:57 – Gender dysphoria (DSM-5) and muscle dysmorphia (bigorexia nervosa). An interesting analogy, as Rick opines.41:15 – Bodybuilders and Transgender individuals – what do they have in common?46:18 – Can testosterone turn Democrats red?Rick Collins, Esq. is an internationally recognized legal authority in the field of sports nutrition, bodybuilding supplements, and performance-enhancing substances.

This episode is jam-packed with knowledge about energy flux and the high energy flux lifestyle. It comes from no less than Brandon DaCruz, one of the brightest minds in the industry. I start off by asking Brandon about his background and what led him to fitness and coaching. Brandon shares that he started being active in weight-restricted sports at 10-11 years old, during which he was exposed to low energy availability and developed micronutrient deficiency. Brandon then proceeds to tell us about the similarities between his athletic profile and that of the general population. Then, we dive into energy flux and its benefits, such as how you can eat more, burn more fat and build more muscle. Most importantly, we talk about how jumping in aggressively is not the key, but strategically easing yourself into a high energy flux lifestyle is the way to go.  Brandon DaCruz is an online nutrition and physique coach, educator, internationally published fitness model, and National Level NPC competitor. He has been featured in publications like Men's Fitness Magazine, Muscular Development, Bodybuilding.com, and the Alan Aragon Research Review, where he's been a contributing author. He uses an evidence-based approach to help his clients achieve their goals sustainably.___________

Scott explains that everyone's a fan, covering his career (previously he was at Redcon1). 6:35 - The brands that competed for Blessing's endorsement Blessing tells us that Ryse and BSN had a contract ready to go, as did Dragon Pharma and Rule1. His final choices also included GAT, BSN, and Raw Nutrition. Blessing Awodibu's final Sponsorship Choices in 2022 This is interesting, because Blessing is a very open book about this prospects. Some athletes don't talk about this stuff at all, but that's obviously not the case here. "It feels nice to be wanted!... ...as a professional bodybuilder, having a sponsor, having a team behind you, it means a lot to us. In bodybuilding, they say it's a one man sport - no - it's not a one man sport. Bodybuilding is a mental sport. If you don't have the right people behind you, the right team, literally, you ain't goin nowhere. So it feels great to be part of MuscleTech." 7:55 - The Legacy of MuscleTech in Bodybuilding Blessing goes through the greats that have been with MuscleTech: Phil Heath, Dexter Jackson, Jay Cutler, King Kamali, Branch Warren -- all these guys who were sponsored by MuscleTech. He flashes back to how crazy the booth was when so many were sponsored at once. And now he's super excited to be a part of it. He's excited that MuscleTech is back into the bodybuilding world as well. 9:20 - Blessing's changes over the past year

Sign up to attend live or get the replay! >> https://bit.ly/3NmJozI    Many barbell athletes experience aches, pains, and injuries. Whether a specific incident happens during or outside of lifting, these injuries can impact training and leave you confused about how to best manage continuing to train in pursuit of your strength goals.   The last thing you want to do or tell someone is to “stop lifting.”    Here at PRS, we want to ensure athletes stay lifting and working toward their goals no matter what. To do this, we have created four core goals that we aim to accomplish when working with any client:   1️⃣Maximize Strength and Muscular Development 2️⃣Reduce Injury Risk  3️⃣Maximize Performance and Goal Outcomes  4️⃣Maintain Longevity    So to satisfy these four core goals at Progressive Rehab and Strength, we approach pain and injury with one thing in mind:    Stay as close as possible to the main movement, volume, and, ideally, relative intensity to support the program's intention.    This will help you continue to make progress, stay on track toward your goals, get stronger, and overcome your injuries without any major detours.    In this episode of the PRS Podcast, Dr. Rori Alter, PT, PRSCC, SSC, and Dr. Alyssa Haveson, PT, PRSCC, CSCS, shed insight on navigating pain and injuries to keep you training.    Here's what you'll find in this episode:   First order, actionable steps to modifying the lifts and keeping them as close to the main lifts as possible Manipulative variables that can be applied to each main barbell lift to help keep you on track with your goals Insight on equipment alternatives: the when, why, and how to best utilize each Gear recommendations to ensure you aren't stalling your progress How to keep you and your clients in the gym and training hard   If you are a barbell strength or powerlifting coach, athlete, or a clinician, this episode will help you navigate pain and injury without major detours.    This episode goes great with our Pain & Injuries in Training series (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3).   Join our Facebook Community for free form checks, live Q&As & more: https://www.facebook.com/groups/PRS.Barbell.Mastery    Got questions or guests you'd like to hear on the show? Submit them here: https://forms.gle/7Vu2HmgHoeQY9xM59    Get in touch with the show!

It was 1992. I figured I could make a few bucks programming while piecing together odd jobs to fit my schedule. Once graduated and established in my orthopedic career, I pressed my foot down on the accelerator and created a legitimate process for fitness and nutrition entrepreneurially. I completed a doctorate in nutrition because the field interested me so much personally. In 1996, I bought a small boutique fitness facility and immediately added nutrition consulting as our centerpiece service. It was here that I pioneered a new process called macronutrient tracking, now known as Flexible Dieting. During 1998, I became the Science Editor for Natural Bodybuilding & Fitness magazine, wrote for other publications within that media company, and freelanced for Muscle Media, Muscular Development, Iron Man, and I think I had an article or two in Muscle & Fitness. My pro bodybuilding career ramped up and I knocked out a second doctorate in health education to fortify my writing pursuits. I was helping friends peak for bodybuilding contests and a couple of them won pro cards and pro contests. One Friday in 2001, the Editor in Chief of Natural Bodybuilding & Fitness reminded me that my ad was due. Part of my remuneration for writing was ad space. I just didn't have anything. Over the weekend, I thought, "Well, maybe people would actually pay for the nutrition coaching services I do for friends." My graphics guy created the first ad: Dr. Joe - Contest Peaking Specialist. Bolstered by my against-the-grain articles pioneering contrarian methods, it didn't take long for just that entry point to take over my schedule. Within a decade, I had helped clients win hundreds of pro cards and pro titles, and, more importantly, it created the birth of an industry. The coaches who were swept up in that early wake rode high on the crest of the wave. Together and apart we forged an industry. Personal nutrition coaching has become an example of how culture - and sometimes one idea - can spark a massive change. I wanted to step back and collect some of those stories for you. You deserve to know the people who shaped our industry and who continue to drive us toward high standards of practice and an expanding body of science.
