Podcasts about specific adaptation

In this episode of Beast Over Burden, Andrew Jackson and Niki Sims break down the four pillars of building strength and muscle, giving lifters a principle-based framework to guide their training decisions. Whether you're trying to gain size, improve performance, or stay consistent as life gets busier, these pillars—simplicity, specificity, appropriate stress, and minimum effective dose—help you filter the noise and focus on what actually works. With practical examples, coaching wisdom, and real-world insight, this episode equips you to stop program-hopping and start progressing with confidence. 1. Simple, Hard, Effective: The Core Filter for Every Lifters' Program The first pillar of building strength and muscle focuses on the triad of simple, hard, and effective training. Rather than overwhelming yourself with complex programming or unnecessary movements, choose exercises that train multiple muscle groups efficiently—like squats, deadlifts, and presses. Niki and Andrew emphasize that training should challenge your current capacity (hard), remain within reach (doable), and be directed toward clear outcomes (effective). Complexity has a place, but only when simplicity stops working. This pillar helps lifters and coaches cut through the noise and focus on doing what works—consistently. 2. The SAID Principle: Train Specifically for What You Want The second pillar is the Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands (SAID) principle. Simply put: your body adapts to what you repeatedly ask it to do. If you want bigger glutes, you need to train your glutes. If you want to throw a baseball harder, you need to train in a way that supports that exact skill or adaptation. Andrew highlights the danger of false specificity—like balancing on a BOSU ball while lifting weights—as a distraction from actual progress. Niki reminds us that trying to chase too many goals at once leads to ineffective outcomes. The SAID principle reinforces that clarity in goals should drive clarity in your training choices. 3. Minimum Effective Dose (MED): The Key to Sustainable Progress The third pillar, minimum effective dose, is about finding the least amount of stress needed to cause a positive adaptation—then riding that wave as long as it lasts. It's the opposite of “go hard or go home,” and it's a powerful strategy for lifters who want to keep progressing over months and years. Andrew reflects on how MED revolutionized his coaching by removing the pressure to overhaul programs with every stall. Niki shares how MED helps lifters avoid burnout and build confidence with small, measurable wins. This approach gives you control over your training trajectory and allows for smarter adjustments. 4. Informed Trade-Offs: Training Within Life's Constraints The fourth pillar of building strength and muscle is about making informed trade-offs within the constraints of your real life—your time, energy, equipment, money, and motivation. This is where the concept of physical freedom shines: the ability to pursue the goals that matter most to you without being enslaved by a rigid program. Andrew and Niki highlight how strength training can (and should) evolve to fit different seasons of life. Sometimes your choices are between good and better, like skiing vs. a competition; other times it's about doing what you can with limited bandwidth. When you understand your constraints and make strategic decisions, you gain the freedom to keep training and making progress—on your terms.

This week, we welcome the incredible Andy Bryant, a podiatrist dedicated to helping people strengthen their feet and, in turn, their entire bodies. Andy takes a unique approach to podiatry, focusing on removing unnecessary supports like padding and lifts, allowing feet to regain their natural strength and function.We dive into many aspects of this fascinating topic, starting with how Andy found his way into alternative podiatry and why caring for your feet is so important. As the foundation of the body, our feet deserve attention and training—and Andy shares compelling reasons to let them be free and strong!We explore Andy's philosophy, including the idea of strengthening rather than supporting, and the principle of "use it or lose it." Andy also introduces us to the SAID principle (Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands) and its application to foot health. Our discussion covers posture, movement, transitioning to barefoot living, flat feet, injuries, trail running, toe splay, bunions, and much more.It's a jam-packed episode filled with valuable insights and practical tips.

Neil introduces a traditional sport training model, one that can be applied to a number of teaching applications including Neil's guitar tutoring business. SAID is an acronym for Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demand and can be used by you in your teaching, mentoring or leadership role.    KEY TAKEAWAYS If you are not conscious of how you train you will get any old result. The body and mind will only produce the most suitable changes in response to a given stimulus. If a student is convinced the training will be difficult, it will be.  When learning guitar students tend to use force but they can be trained to play gently and precisely. Explain the desired outcome, how it will affect them, and the mechanism and techniques you will use to create it. BEST MOMENTS ‘If you teach anything which demands core skills, or if you're a coach I think this is a very useful idea to drop into your mental melting pot.'  ‘Almost nobody in over 23 years teaching guitar now, nobody really trained to be gentle, smooth, elegant or precise.' ‘It's wise to assume nobody has the basics. I've never met anybody in 23 years teaching who has.'

Today’s fitness industry looks at exercise as a means of improving and maximizing performance.  We see large biceps and stronger legs as indicators of a healthy body.  This pushes us to have a compartmentalized view of movement that focuses on specialized activities, where we have a leg day or a chest day.  But having a gym or simple fitness-oriented view limits your ability to be resilient, to be well-rounded. Basically it limits the potential of the exercises to challenge your cognitive abilities. Compare that with how “we” used to move, for example, our hunter-gatherer ancestors.  Their movement isn’t just about working on one muscle group, one routine. A diverse and varied range of movement triggers brain engagement. It allows our brains to grow and mature new neurons leading to better memory health. This mindset about exercise and movement needs to change.  It’s no longer about intensity. Having an awareness of the unique and challenging demands we can impose on our bodies to squeeze out more opportunities for neurogenesis is key. If we understand how neurogenesis works and how to prompt it, we have a better chance of preventing avoidable memory loss.   Our brains can continue to build and maintain a rich network of neurons if we understand how the human body as an organism works. We have the chance to tap into this power if we want to. The truth is, we are meant to create and live a formidable life. In this show you’ll learn about: How we can squeeze more out of physical exercise by adding cognitive aspects to leverage neurogenesis Putting stress on the body through unique and challenging demands The phenomenon of movement poverty increasing our risks of sedentary dementia In today’s show, you will learn how to combine cognitive aspects to physical exercise to leverage neurogenesis and build a rich and dense hippocampus resilient to change. Listen To The Podcast Now.    About Our Guest Matt Rutley is a natural movement specialist in Australia. He is a bush skills instructor and the owner and head coach of health and fitness center, Stage Six. As one of the leading experts on moving your body the way it was designed to move, he has worked with clients of all ages including sporting teams, professionals, and Olympic athletes.     The Case for Neurogenesis Getting Interested In Functional Movement Exercise and Its Role Matt shares his childhood of doing a lot of physical and mental work, and his exposure later on to physical training.  Opening his own gym to give people the opportunity to do the things he was doing as a child led him to realize the backward approach to physical fitness and health. Diving into research into the human organism led to more questions. Our physical and mental well-being aren’t separate. What Is Critical To Be Able To Navigate Our Will We are the drivers to fixing our problems. Having an inquisitive mind is important to understand why our body works and reacts to certain ways. If you don’t impose a demand on your body, it will not get good at it. This is the principle Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands (SAID).  Your body adapts to what you ask it to adapt to. Be specific about what you want, why you need it, and how the two correlate. Have an awareness of our physical capabilities and an understanding of what you want. How To Get Better Transference In Life There are different kinds of fitness.  We need to have a sustainable approach when it comes to exercise rather than being on edge all the time just to maximize performance. Most people don’t really have a good idea of whether they might be able to do something. Movement is the reason our brains exist. Exercise boosts brain activity.  Leveraging Movement To Boost Our Hippocampus Movements that are complex and adaptive maximize neurological engagement. The lack of disease in Blue Zones and hunter-gatherer populations.  Challenging ourselves more each time rather than getting used to a routine allows us to squeeze a bit more of the opportunities. Gamification and play-based activities provide a huge opportunity though there is resistance because of people’s perception that exercise is punishment. Changes happen when we put our body under stress to push the limits. Stress signals changes in our body. But too much stress leads to injury. Stress applied should be about purpose and application instead of reinforcing the no pain, no gain mindset.  Understanding why you need to go through that struggle allows you to be informed about the type of struggle and dosage needed.  The Problem With Mundane, Everyday Tasks Movements that are complex and adaptive maximize neurological engagement. If you have only one challenge, your body gets used to it.  To be adaptable, we have to constantly shift the goalpost. High-intensity training essentially works to outdo inactivity, but the intensity is too much. It’s better to spread out burning calories throughout the day in many different ways and with different stimuli and tasks. This is why people during our hunter-gatherer era are healthier. Lowering The Risks For Sedentary Dementia Use an app to set a timer to get up and stretch. Uprooting ourselves entirely from our comfort zones would only make our bodies resistant to change. As our body adjusts, add a new demand that you can layer on.  Adding variety such as changing the route or adding a different range of motion will add a new demand. Be brutally honest, practical, and realistic when goal setting.  Aim for consistency and frequency. Cast a lens around a 6-8 out of 10 level of challenge to drive neuroplasticity or brain change.  We are meant to be very formidable for life.  Harness the Power of Neurogenesis Do the things you want to get better at.  Things will only get worse if you don’t do anything. Be patient with your body, work with it rather than against it. There’s no magic bullet, but there’s a magic process.   Previously Recommended Resources   Articles:     Psychobiotics in mental health, neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental disorders    Cheng et al, (2019) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1021949819300158     Melancholic microbes: a link between gut microbiota and depression?    Prof T.

Several months ago, I filled you in on "". But what you learned in that article only scratched the surface of the multiple mechanisms underlying why the human body can be resistant to fat loss, and how to achieve truly sustainable, long-lasting weight loss in a safe and efficient manner.

Matt and Scott tackle the question of sport specific training: how should athletes train for their sport? The simple answer is... just like anyone else! While athletes need to consider the demands of their practice when programming their training, their training advancement occurs no differently than a gen pop trainee.   Unfortunately, many sport coaches conflate practice and training, out of a misguided desire to make training look like the sport they are preparing their athletes for. Going back to the earliest episodes of Barbell Logic, one of the bedrock principles of programming in Starting Strength is the Stress/Adaptation/Recovery model first detailed by Hans Selye. Another important concept is the SAID principle, Specific Adaptation to the Imposed Demand. In short the SAID principle states that if you want to get strong, you have to stress yourself with something that would make you strong, i.e. lift heavy weights. Running laps on the track won't make you strong, as it is not specific to the desired adaptation. This is where the idea of making training look like the sport -- doing high intensity circuits on the hammer strength machines, instead of lifting barbells -- falls short. A good strength and conditioning coach needs to identify the adaptations needed for the sport, and organize programming to achieve those adaptations. For virtually all sports, strength is important, and should be prioritized first, for the reasons explicated in previous Barbell Logic episodes: strength improves all the other physical skills. Many sports training programs emphasize explosive movements instead, effectively demonstrating the athleticism of their athletes (which is genetically determined) rather than training their physical abilities.   Another issue with sport specific training is the lack of quality instruction and feedback. As Matt describes on his visit to a D1 football training camp, coaches yelled at their athletes constantly to train hard, but rarely gave them detailed feedback on how to improve what they were doing. Screaming "Do it right!" and "Up! Up! Up!" in the weight room are not effective coaching techniques, at best they are cheerleading.   The article Matt mentions in the episode is The Two-Factor Model of Sports Performance by Mark Rippetoe.   Use the discount code LOGIC to save 10% off any order of Iron Joe.   Save 5% off any order at Dominion Belts with the discount code fahveoff.    Connect With Matt Matt on Instagram Starting Strength Online Coaching — Matt’s website Matt on Facebook Matt on Twitter Connect With Scott Scott on Instagram Silver Strength – Scott’s website Scott on Facebook Scott on Twitter Connect With the Show Barbell Logic on Twitter Barbell Logic on Instagram The Website Barbell Logic on Facebook barbelllogicpodcast@gmail.com
