High Intensity Weight training is a form of exercise I've been doing for 10 plus years. It originated with Mike Mentzer, Ray Mentzer, and Arthur Jones, and over the years it's been fine-tuned, changed, and improved upon. Modern proponents, trainers and coaches include Drew Baye, Dr. Doug Mcguff, Jay Vincent among others.

In this mini episode, we explore the importance of movement and exercise and dispel some common myths around the need to workout (gym sessions) daily. I have experimented with all kinds of fitness/ exercise regimens – from Cardio to Strength training, HIIT to Tabata and Zumba & more. Based on my current understanding, you don't need to spend endless hours in the gym to build your ideal body. Even a weekly super slow strength workout and resting for the rest of the week is more than enough. Of course, on that note, make sure to get a daily walk in nature, if you can, ideally for 20 to 30 minutes. If you have a desk job, have an alarm or reminder every hour or 30 mins for you to stand up and walk around for a bit and then sit back on the chair. You could also try Sprinting as a workout routine. Some of my recent inspirations when it comes to proper workout are available on below links: I like Body by Science: A Research Based Program for Strength Training, Body building, and Complete Fitness in 12 Minutes a Week.

Chronic persistent pain is an issue for people of all ages across the world; and although there has been decades of pain science research most people don't realise that pain doesn't always equal tissue damage or injury. This episode is all about chronic persistent pain and how we can all be more able to deal with pain of all kinds. Understanding pain is something all people can benefit from, because we will all feel pain of some kind in our life and even if not, understanding how to empathise or validate others pain experiences is essential.

So, you want to make a commitment to your long-term health, but your time to work out is limited. What if you could spend just 20 minutes at the gym three times a week—and be in the best shape of your life? According to Pamela Gold (and many other HIIT advocates), results like that ARE possible with the right combination of high-intensity interval training, or HIIT, and recovery. Pamela Gold is the Founder of HACKD Fitness, a Manhattan studio dedicated to helping people be the strongest, most powerful version of themselves—in the most efficient way possible. After graduating from Yale University, Pamela was assistant to the CEO of Cosi and served as point person on the IPO in 2002. She left the workforce to become a mom in 2006 and developed a passion for physical fitness and wellness. But when Pamela returned to the corporate world, she had limited time to work out and turned to HIIT. Today, she works out less than 40 minutes a week and is in the best shape of life. Pamela relies on data to confirm what is working and what isn’t, and she shares the latest research, training protocols and technology through HACKD. On this episode, Pamela joins us to explain how fitness became a point of focus in her life after having kids and share the steps she took to get healthy. She walks us through her shift from 4-hour to 20-minute workouts after returning to work, clearing up the misconceptions around HIIT. Pamela also weighs in on the equipment available at HACKD, from the CAR.O.L Bike to the ARX to recovery tools like the Joovv and NanoVi. Listen in for Pamela’s insight around the transformative power of breathwork and meditation—and learn her five pillars for unlocking your own unlimited inner strength!

In this episode, Jared and Gianluca throw caution to the wind and discuss their most controversial topic yet: what they think might be the best way to exercise! Specifically, they summarise the thesis behind the book ‘Body By Science' by John Little and Doug McGuff and reveal their own workout routines. Along the way they also explore the field of evolutionary programming and genetic algorithms (hint: Gianluca just published his research paper on the topic!) and what these techniques could bring to the design of complex structures and systems! ----------------------- SHOWNOTES: Gianluca's research paper - “Warfarin dose estimation on multiple datasets with automated hyperparameter optimisation and a novel software framework”: https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.05363  Genetic programming/evolutionary algorithms: http://www.cs.montana.edu/~bwall/cs580/introduction_to_gp.pdf  Evolved wind-turbines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZUNRmwoijw  Random walk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stgYW6M5o4k  Monte Carlo simulation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0F3S-46bIQ  Robin Hanson book - “The Elephant in The Brain”: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28820444-the-elephant-in-the-brain Robin Hanson blog on signalling: http://www.overcomingbias.com/tag/signaling  Julia Galef's podcast, “Rationally Speaking”: http://rationallyspeakingpodcast.org/  The halo effect: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Halo_effect  Body by Science: A Research-Based Program for Strength Training, Body Building, and Complete Fitness in 12 Minutes a Week by John Little, Doug McGuff: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4642174-body-by-science  A podcast by Tim Ferriss on the so-called “1-minute workout”: https://tim.blog/2017/01/23/the-one-minute-workout-designed-by-scientists-dr-martin-gibala/  Elon Musk on the Joe Rogan Experience: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycPr5-27vSI  Via negativa thinking (and other mental models) at Farnam Street Blog: https://fs.blog/mental-models/  Lateral shoulder raises tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5sNYB1Q6aM  Dr Rhonda Patrick on sauna use and heat: https://www.foundmyfitness.com/episodes/biohacker-summit-2016  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NChyDtupmkk

What is self-quantification? How does it differ from biohacking, and how can we use it to optimise our health? Quantified Bob talks all about the value of getting our data and using that information to optimise all aspects of our life. Visit https://www.bodyshotperformance.com/podcasts-blog for the complete show notes of every podcast episode. Topics Discussed in this Episode: Self-quantification versus biohacking Bob’s journey of digging deeper into his own physiology What data to track and measure Tracking your glucose and the benefits of using a blood glucose monitor Personalised diet and nutrition Some things you need to be aware of when getting a gut test Fasting: Should you do it or not? The different types of fasting Some of the things that can have the biggest impact on health-conscious individuals that are strapped for time Key Takeaways: Self-quantification is using technology and data to gain better insights into ourselves and creating actionable steps from that information to optimise your health and well-being. There’s a bit of an overlap between self-quantification and biohacking but they’re not the same. There are people who are tracking aspects of their lives that are not necessarily about their body, whereas there are a lot of biohackers who are trying a hundred different things to optimise their body’s health. Studies have shown people’s personalised glycemic response to different foods. Fasting allows your digestive system to get a break for a few days and allows you to get a metabolic reset. Action Steps: Observe how your body reacts to different foods. Try to keep your glucose in a tight range and avoid big fluctuations. Get a DNA test and/or a gut test. If you’re going to fast, do it during the work week when you’re busy and have no time to think about food. Optimise your sleep space and your home environment. Bob said: “What you see in the data doesn’t necessarily always mean things that are being expressed in your genes [are] also genetic factors. For me, it could be largely tied to [environmental] stress.” “You need to be measuring some things that are actually happening in your life… Just because your genes say one thing, it doesn’t necessarily mean that things are always expressed.” Thanks for listening!

This episode is Doug's response to Should I Bulk Up (#157). In episode 157, I described how I was feeling insecure about my physique and embarked on a calorie surplus alongside my training regime to attempt to stimulate more muscle growth. In this latest episode (#161), Doug describes precisely why he thinks this is a bad idea. This is one of the most important episodes I've published on the pursuit of optimal muscle gain and strength training over the long term. If you are a hardgainer or been doing HIT for a long time, you will find this enlightening, hilariously honest and very helpful. I am so excited and honoured to be able to bring you this. "By the time we get to where we are .... I think what you experience is .... stimulus, recovery, nothing. Stimulus, recovery, nothing. Stimulus, recovery, nothing. Stimulus, recovery, nothing. Stimulus, recovery, nothing. Stimulus, recovery ... then suddenly something happens." ~ Dr Doug McGuff In this episode, we discuss: How gaining body fat can potentially reduce muscle mass How perhaps calorie intake should be organic The truth about Doug's own genetics and training failures (this will shock you!)

As endurance athletes, we are well aware of the benefits of resistance training but carving out the time can be difficult—and choosing the right weight is often a guessing game. What if there was a way to train in only 8 minutes once a week, using technology that adapts to provide the perfect amount of resistance? Mike Pullano is the Product and Fulfillment Manager at ARX Fit. ARX is the acronym for ‘adaptive resistance exercise,’ and the Austin-based company builds machines and software that facilitate motorized resistance capable of matching the force of any user for the perfect rep every time. ARX Fit is on a mission to shorten the amount of time it takes to work out and offer the safest and most effective form of resistance training on the market. Today, Mike shares his personal journey to discovering ARX, explaining how an injury to his Achilles tendon ignited an interest in biomechanics and physiology. He walks us through his initial resistance training protocol, discussing how his routine and performance changed after he transitioned to ARX. Mike describes how the ARX machines work, what differentiates them from the competition, and who can benefit from the resistance training ARX provides. He offers insight around why ARX is billed as the safest way of weight training and how to adapt an ARX workout based on your personal goals. Listen in for Mike’s take on choosing equipment for a studio and learn where to find ARX machines in your area! Topics Covered [1:05] Mike’s journey to ARX Ballistic training, tore Achilles tendon playing basketball Studied biomechanics and physiology Followed 4-Hour Body protocol and it worked Used early prototype of ARX, blown away in one session [6:37] Mike’s initial resistance training protocol Minimum amount for maximum results A/B routine of 2-3 exercises twice/week Choose arbitrary weight, go as long as possible [8:38] Mike’s resistance training goals Increase weight, reps and time under load ‘Weakest point became ceiling’ [12:20] How the ARX machines work Adaptive, uses motor vs. static weight User creates force against motor Software tracks resistance in real time [14:11] How ARX changed Mike’s training Put on 7 pounds of lean muscle mass Max force output increase of 100-180% 8-minute workout every Thursday [18:36] The advantages of using an ARX machine Deeper level of fatigue than weight-stack machine All benefits of pressing and resisting [21:40] Mike’s dramatic increase in strength Numbers on old machines up 20-30% Added muscle mass (DEXA scan) [23:13] Who might benefit from using ARX machines Goal to build muscle mass, bone mineral density Tendon, ligament stiffness for injury prevention [25:08] Why ARX machines are the safest way of weight training Machine moves at speed, range of motion you choose Removes potential for weight stack to fall on user Select resistance in moment [28:43] How to adapt an ARX workout based on personal goals Simplify, use isometrics for bone density Positive/pushing only (i.e.: glycogen depletion) Body builder might choose negative only [30:44] The scientific studies around ARX Extensive research on eccentric training [32:20] How ARX is different from other machines Best MedX doesn’t adjust to fatigue ARX provides much value in very small space Software provides different ways to motivate [37:40] Mike’s take on choosing equipment for a studio Tools up to individual practitioner ‘Not just about resistance training’ ARX could serve as foundational piece [40:06] Where to find ARX machines in your area Google ARX + your city Studios lease machines Learn More About Mike ARX Fit ARX on YouTube Resources The 4-Hour Body: An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman by Timothy Ferriss Body by Science: A Research Based Program for Strength Training, Body Building, and Complete Fitness in 12 Minutes a Week by John R.

One could say that Dr. Doug McGuff is one of the pioneers of BMX motocross bike racing in Texas. He built the state’s first race track, having gotten hooked on the sport as a teenager in the 1970s. The sport also triggered a deeper interest in fitness. As McGuff tried strengthen his core for bike racing, he discovered Arthur Jones’ Nautilus training technique and bartered janitorial services for a Nautilus gym membership. McGuff’s interest and aptitude for studying the body led him to pursue medicine at the University of Texas in San Antonio. He specialized in emergency medicine, was chief resident of emergency medicine at the University of Arkansas in Little Rock, and a staff physician at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Hospital in Ohio. McGuff is currently an ER physician with Blue Ridge Emergency Physicians in Seneca, South Carolina. The other side of McGuff’s career is dedicated to fitness, or as he says—helping people never have to go to the ER. Realizing a lifetime dream, he opened up his own fitness facility in 1997 called Ultimate Exercise. The gym is dedicated to the type of high-intensity fitness training using the Super Slow protocol. In this episode of STEM-Talk, McGuff talks about why this type of exercise is better for the body, safer, and able to prevent age-related conditions such as sarcopenia. McGuff is the author of three books: “Body by Science: A Research-Based Program for Strength Training, Body-building and Complete Fitness in 12 Minutes a Week,” http://amzn.to/2fy7vKN (co-authored with John Little), “The Primal Prescription: Surviving the “Sick Care” Sinkhole,” http://amzn.to/2fLTBtl (co-authored with economist Robert Murphy), and “BMX Training: A Scientific Approach.” http://amzn.to/2fUhqPd He is also featured in several YouTube videos on high-intensity training. His recent IHMC lecture, entitled “Strength Training for Health and Longevity,” is available at http://www.ihmc.us/lectures/20160929/. 2:03: Dawn reads an an iTunes 5-star review from “Guy who likes Chipotle,” which is entitled “Interesting and just complex enough.” “STEM-Talk does an amazing job of delivering high-level information on a variety of topics, without making it too complex to understand.” 4:21: Dawn introduces Doug and Ken. 4:47: McGuff says that as a young teen, shortly after getting interested in BMX bike racing, he started working out with his brother’s weights, which was transformational. “It is still the closest thing to magic or a miracle that I’ve ever experienced in my life.” 6:44: Also as a teen, Doug McGuff bartered janitorial services for a membership to a Nautilus gym, where he found a copy of a book by Nautilus founder Arthur Jones  (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Jones_(inventor)) about training principles. “It was the first book I ever read cover to cover.
