Episode 336: Solocast Anaerobic Chaos Incoming (Level 2 Preview)
Update: 2025-07-29
Description
In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I break down how to train your cardio without wrecking your strength gains. We’re digging into the real roles of your aerobic and anaerobic systems—why most lifters skip the boring base work, and why that’s a big mistake if you want better performance and recovery.
I also share a sneak peek at the upcoming Flexible Meathead Cardio Level 2 course, which covers high-intensity interval training (HIIT), anaerobic power, and how to program it all without turning your training into a dumpster fire.
Whether you're a meathead trying to breathe between sets or just want to recover faster and hit harder—this one's for you.
