Team!

This is part 2 of a 2 part series where I discuss the optimal minimal...

I dive into strategies for squeezing the most out of your gym workouts when you're short on time. Sometimes you don’t have the luxury of crafting the perfect session without any time constraints… enter the concept of minimum effective dose training—getting the max results with the least amount of time spent. I’ll walk you through some popular techniques like the rest-pause method, myoreps, and drop sets. We'll also talk about how to structure your training more efficiently with quick warm-ups and smart supersetting. Plus, I'll share some other practical strategies, including density training and agonist-agonist supersets. These tips are all about helping you get a solide training dose without sacrificing your busy schedule.

This is good for the really busy that doesn't have much time to spend in the gym or the busy athlete looking to improve in multiple disciplines (Hybrid Athlete, Multiple Sport Athlete, Endurance Athlete looking to cross-train...etc)

Welcome back to another episode of the EndurAthlete Podcast

In this special episode I give you early access to the first of a three-part series dedicated to unraveling the complexities of carbohydrates.

This was initially intended for YouTube but I still the audio only version to be very easy to follow.

We talk about the different types of carbs and their building blocks. We also look at a simple way to categorize them and talk about what happens in your body when you eat different types of carbs.

The goal is to arm you with the basic science based principles to better understand carbohydrates and make better choices in your diet.

While you are waiting for the next episode here is an other podcast episode that puts carbs in the context of your entire nutritional approach:
Nutrition Fundamentals - Part 1: Nutrition Hierarchy
