In which I ponder the limitations and futility of obsessing over "optimal" and how 8 week studies may mean very little in the long run. (and the long run is all that reallly counts?)Di Richard

58:48

In preparation for article/speech that I want to write, I wanted to do a consultation with Dr. Doug McGuff both to check my understanding and to make sure I didn't make too many errors in describing the science behind my latest distinctions: 1. The difference between so called optimal and good results is very small and is likely irrelevant in the l…

What are realistic results for a new strength trainee at Sustainable Success Strength Training? 31:07

7M ago31:07

31:07

This is my response to a question from a new client as to what this individual could expect. I know it's going to sound somewhat evasive in terms of stopping short of specifics, however the reality is, in my opinion, that the answer truly is "it depends". I've tried to list all the factors that can come into play that will increase or decrease what…

Dr. Doug McGuff interview one more time (author of Body by Science) (Studies/TRT/etc) 56:05

12M ago56:05

56:05

In this one, we delve into the relative reliability of different types of studies when it comes to exercise and/or nutrition. In particular, epidemiological studies vs RCT's when double blinded, selection biases accounted for and large enough samplings and/or times to make conclusions more or less objective. When looking at many studies, we often o…

A Conversation with Daniel Thompson Certified Superslow Instructor 1:16:54

1:16:54

In this second instalment, Daniel and I cover a wide range of topics, some of which deal with what truly matters in exercise and what might not be worth agonizing over. This shows that after long journeys, that start with the simple, then delve into much complexity, the destination often winds up right back at the simple. Daniel was (still is?) a M…

I really enjoy doing these and this one was a special treat. Mark is an advocate of intelligent, brief, intense exercise and practices the carnivore diet which he credits with dramatically improving issues he's had with autoimmune ailments. Mark is a super nice guy with whom I share many commonalities but mostly, I like the combination of his criti…

He is located in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. In the past he's competed in both kickboxing and bodybuilding and today he trains clients, as I do, on a one on one b…

I recently became aware of Jerome through the facebook page, "Mark's Health & Nutritional Group" where his youtube channel was recommended. After listening to a few of his videos, I was very impressed.

1:10:01

Recently I received an email from Thomas Frayne who had watched my interview with Mark Asanovich. His questions primarily came from the field of athletics/sports, which is certainly not my emphasis. I tend to focus more on helping regular folks, particularly an older population, stay as strong as possible, as safely and efficiently as possible, in …

Move Often at Leisurely Pace. More OFTEN and not more overall is better. Outside When Possible. 9:49

1+ y ago9:49

9:49

In which I challenge to some degree the standard recommendations of 10,000 steps per day and/or 150 minutes of activity per week. I suspect strongly that these are based on observational studies with a myriad of confounding variables and are pretty much arbitrary. Forgive listeners for not seeing screen share.

Clients sometimes come in with pain in knees and/or joints and/or shoulders and question whether intensely strength training might not be good that day, however they then go out and walk, snowshoe, hike, cross country ski or play various sports.

1:00:19

Arjan's youtube channel is one I've watched with interest over the years, and highly recommend. Not afraid to try new things, and adapting them to work for him, he exemplifies the concept, I've heard called "Principles vs Practices". I've come to suspect that many in the strength training community suffer from "confirmation bias", immediately rejec…

My thoughts on the following: 1. The value of proper exercise on slowing down, stopping or reversing sarcopenia which has profound effects on quality of life (possibly longevity) and health care costs. 2.
