Know your limits . A mature athlete is someone who knows their limits, accepts them, and understands they can still improve on them. . An imposter is delusional to the fact they have limits and eventually their inflexible approach will be the end of them. . This is just one of the many topics of conversation in the latest episode of Anabolic Radio ft. Dr. (And now PRO) Eric Helms. We also discuss his recent competitive season among hype surrounding topics such as longer muscle length training...
More often than not when trying to progress towards a certain performance or body composition related goal (e.g. build muscle, get stronger, or lose body fat) people are immediately drawn to what sounds like ‘the best’ approach, or the complexities of nutrition and resistance training. . This prevents them from mastering the basics and seeing the big picture. . We look for advanced methodologies, techniques, or protocols and proceed to pursue an approach that is inappropriate for our current ...
What I think is great about research… . Is that in the context of exercise science/bodybuilding is that it has validated much of what ‘old school’ bodybuilders did within their training. . Training to failure Partial ranges of motion The importance of variables related to nutrition The list goes on. . On the flip side of the coin, it also dismisses the most absurd approaches from muppets who think you won’t get results if you’re not following ‘insert dogmatic training approach’ or see ‘x diet...
Missing the forest for the trees? I don’t blame you. With information being readily available at our fingertips, understanding how to navigate, or decipher what’s pertinent for you can be similar to finding a needle in a haystack. In the recent Anabolic Radio episode with @dr_pak we chatted about a variety of topics that range from his PhD on ‘The Minimum Effective Dose’, to training longer muscle lengths, to Deloads, to what makes a great ‘science-based’ communicator. Tune into the full epis...
In the latest episode of Anabolic Radio I had the pleasure of chatting to @FORTITUDE_TRAINING where we discuss Nuances of Range of Motion . Range of motion is simply the objective measurement our joints/muscles are able to move through. . In every exercise there will be 4 phases of a rep: Eccentric (in a squat that will be the downwards motion)Isometric in the Lengthened position (bottom of a squat)Concentric (upwards motion in a squat)Isometric in the Shortened position (top of a squat). For...

We discussed all things related to women’s physiology and hypertrophy in addition to her latest paper on Menstural Cycle, or Phase based training. . I think the biggest take away from our discussion was in general- Often we lik...
Going through a bodybuilding contest prep is like an eating disorder simulator . EVEN if you have never experienced eating disorders or body dysmorphia, these are potential issues you will experience during your journey. Especially more so the case when nearing the tail end of a dieting phase/contest season. . Going from 5-6% to 8-12% for a male or Going from 10-14% to 15-20% for a female A sudden shift, necessary shift, still looking better than 99% of the population, but you THINK you look ...

In the latest episode of @anabolicradio I had the pleasure of chatting to my friend @brianminor where we discuss the nuances of progression, periodization, mesocycle structure, and fatigue management. . Think more overtime. Not more overnight. . Oftentimes many people who go to the gym, whether that be for recreational, or competitive reasons- fall for the fallacy of thinking more is better, or thinking the only way to ‘progress’ is by increasing load/weight for movements. . When in many case...
Recovery after a fat loss phase, or contest prep is- NON-NEGOTIABLE There are two methods that have application following a fat loss phase The Reverse Dieting approachThe Recovery Diet Both have application depending on the purpose, however a majority of the time it best to just increase calories to your ‘theoretical maintenance’ (air quotes because our ‘maintenance’ down regulates as we begin the process of becoming smaller human beings). Something that will make the post-show per...
Think of peaking like icing on the cake 🍰 Rapid backload Backload Linear load Front load 😵💫😵💫😵💫 what to do? What to do?! While manipulating variables within the peak may not change the actual ‘cake’ component- having a complementary flavor of icing and distribution of it can be something that takes the cake from ‘good’ to ‘flavor bomb’… Same thing goes for a peak- and the reality is with the level of competition that’s stepping on stages today, you may need that additional 1-3% over others...
Pain is very complex. The worst thing you can do is not take the time to take internal inventory and assess the appropriate steps to bounce back. In this episode of Anabolic Radio I had the pleasure of chatting to Aaron Horshig from SquatU, we dive into his background, how to assess pain, and improve movement quality over time. If you’ve ever struggled with nagging pain that in some cases limits your training, turn it the full discussion to understand the process on which you can address and ...
Noticing visual changes in body composition is similar to watching paint dry, especially when you don’t have any metrics for measuring progress. This is why tracking things like your training and taking measurements is rather important, as objective data will allow you to accurately assess whether progress is occurring, or not. In this episode of Anabolic Radio, I had the pleasure of chatting to Dr. Grant Tinsley who is a professor at Texas Tech University and recently has been a pioneer on a...
Much of this industry will lead you to believe that there’s some special secret behind what they do and how they achieve results, but here’s a hard truth The secret is there is no secret. Surround yourself by people that are better than you, or know more than you. Pretty simple, right? There is no magic diet. There is no magic exercise. There is no magic way of living. Success in whatever your goal is comes down to a variety of different aspects. Exercise in a way that is specific to you...
