  Training Like Former You

  Sep 28, 202638 min

  Training Like Former You: Re-aiming Athletic Intensity as You Age Coach Phil Stevens, Dr. Mike T. Nelson, and Dr. Lonnie Lowery discuss why former athletes must stop comparing their current performance to their 20s and 30s, while preserving meaningful standards and continuing to participate. They explore changing goals and recovery needs, minimum strength benchmarks, injury-aware substitutions, training age and accumulated mileage, soft-tissue limitations, and how to redirect an athlete's intensity toward sustainable work. The hosts also discuss realistic benchmarks for pressing, pulling, squatting, grip, and aerobic conditioning, plus the mindset of doing hard things and finding something worthwhile on the other side of suck. 00:00 Welcome and Hosts 02:10 Stop Training Like the Athlete You Used to Be 08:00 Aging, Drive, and New Performance Minimums 13:00 Adjusting Training Around Injuries and Recovery 18:30 Mike's Strength, Grip, and Aerobic Benchmarks 24:00 Training Age, Mileage, and Elite Older Athletes 29:00 The Mindset of Doing Something Hard 33:00 Re-Aiming Athletic Intensity and Choosing New Movements 36:15 Wrap and Disclaimer Donate to the show via PayPal HERE .

  Time-Restricted Bulking

  Sep 21, 202641 min

  Time-Restricted Bulking: Can a Narrow Eating Window Build Muscle Without Excess Fat? Coach Phil Stevens, Dr. Mike T. Nelson, and Dr. Lonnie Lowery examine a new 12-week randomized controlled trial of 16:8 time-restricted eating during a bulking phase. They discuss the study's modest sample, single-frequency BIA, prescribed versus actual calorie and protein intake, and similar fat-free-mass and strength gains despite the restricted group eating less than planned. The conversation challenges the idea that a 300–500 calorie surplus is universally sufficient, considers beginner gains versus results in experienced lifters, and explores practical factors such as adaptive metabolism, training age, sleep, stress, stimulants, DOMS, and the difficulty of accurately tracking food in free-living conditions. 00:00 Welcome and Hosts 02:00 The Time-Restricted Eating Bulking Study 07:00 Calorie, Protein, and Strength-Gain Results 11:30 Phil on Training Age and Real-World Bulking 16:00 Mike on Surplus Accuracy and External Validity 21:00 How Much Energy Does Muscle Growth Require? 26:00 Practical Bulking, Maintenance, and Cutting Strategies 31:00 Recomposition, G-Flux, and Metabolic Adaptation 36:00 Natural Athletes, Overfeeding, and Measurement Limits 39:30 Wrap and Disclaimer Donate to the show via PayPal HERE .

  Sep 8, 202643 min

  The Death of the Training Partner: Accountability, Feedback, and the Human Element of Strength Training Coach Phil Stevens, Dr. Mike T. Nelson, and Dr. Lonnie Lowery examine what happens when lifters lose the in-person training partner. They discuss accountability, technical feedback, healthy competition, support on bad training days, and the limits of remote programming. The conversation covers video review, velocity-based training, Tendo/GymAware and other wearables, tandem coaching, caffeine and perceived bar speed, interval feedback, social-media praise, AI coaching, and why earned human respect and tough love remain difficult to automate. 00:00 Welcome and Hosts 05:20 Youth Sports, Heat Acclimatization, and Resilience 09:40 The Death of the Training Partner 13:10 Accountability and Technical Feedback 17:10 Healthy Competition and Support on Bad Days 21:15 Video Review and Relearning Perception 25:05 Velocity-Based Training and Wearables 28:45 Tandem Coaching and the Eye in the Sky 31:35 Caffeine, Bar Speed, and Objective Feedback 34:05 AssaultBike, Rower, and Interval Accountability 36:20 AI, Social Media, and the Limits of Outsourcing Coaching 39:40 Earned Respect, Tough Love, and Human Connection 41:55 Wrap and Disclaimer Donate to the show via PayPal HERE .

  Barriers to Lifting

  Aug 31, 202631 min

  Why People Struggle to Lift: Barriers, Energy, Access, and the Minimal Effective Dose Coach Phil Stevens, Dr. Mike T. Nelson, and Dr. Lonnie Lowery angle a new qualitative study of 38 adults experiencing food insecurity toward strength training, unpacking time scarcity, fatigue, occupational demands, safety, weather, health complications, finances, and the tension between motivation and low energy. They share practical strategies from coaching younger athletes, workers, busy professionals, and low-aerobic-capacity clients: train before work, use brief lifting and high-intensity conditioning, build access and social support, start with one or two manageable changes, and reduce excuses without overwhelming the person. The hosts also discuss how basic aerobic fitness can improve energy and brain fog, why community health workers may lack specific resistance-training guidance, and the importance of finding the minimal effective dose for sustainable progress. 00:00 Welcome and Hosts 01:05 Study on Barriers to Physical Activity and Food Insecurity 04:10 Time Scarcity, Fatigue, Work, and Environmental Barriers 08:25 Motivation Versus Energy and the Importance of Priorities 11:40 Diagnosing Low Energy: Iron, Sleep, Inflammation, and Aerobic Fitness 16:10 Building Exercise Into the Day and Improving Access 20:05 Something Is Better Than Nothing 23:00 Community Health Workers and Resistance-Training Knowledge 26:15 Meathead Cardio and the Minimal Effective Dose 29:45 Social Support, Coaching, and Reducing Excuses 32:35 Training Barriers, Accountability, and AI 34:20 Wrap and Disclaimer Donate to the show via PayPal HERE .
