  • Great coaching

    Logan’s constant support and teaching me to understand how to work out at my age (77yrs) has helped me with my arthritis and mental clarity. I’ve learned it’s never to late to start.

  • Highly Recommend!

    Finding exercise advice that you can trust is hard. There is a lot of noise on the internet regarding fitness. Logan’s evidence based approach to exercise, experience, and guests ensure that you aren’t learning about trends, fads, or gimmicks.

    This podcast is valuable to me as an exercise professional and one I recommend to all my clients!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

"The Rep Continuum for Athletes" with Jeremy Hudson
Q: So talk to me a little bit about your current role and what your day-to-day looks like?
He explains a shift to postural work, osteopathy, functional neurology, and running a London-based practice that serves adults with a mix of group and one-on-one sessions, including a newly launched Athlete for Life program.
"The Rep Continuum for Athletes" with Jeremy Hudson
Q: Jeremy, introduce yourself. Tell us a little bit about who you are and how you got into health and fitness.
Jeremy Hudson describes his Toronto-to-London journey, starting in a big-box gym in 1999, moving into athletic performance, and eventually focusing on movement, rehab, and corrective exercise to help general populations move well before loading.
"Throwing Cold Water On Your Gains!" w/ Alec Pinero, MS
Q: What were your main findings in the meta-analysis you led on cold water immersion and hypertrophy?
The analysis indicates two levels: first, that the resistance training was likely effective on its own, and second, that adding post-exercise cold water immersion attenuated hypertrophy compared with resistance training without immersion, especially when performed right after training for 10–20 minutes in cold water.
"Throwing Cold Water On Your Gains!" w/ Alec Pinero, MS
Q: What is Cold Water Immersion and why has it become so popular in fitness culture?
Cold water immersion, or ice baths, has been popular for recovery and perceived performance benefits, partly driven by CrossFit and Scandinavian traditions. The literature suggests mixed results: potential short-term recovery benefits, but possible attenuation of hypertrophy and strength gains when used immediately post-workout.
"Throwing Cold Water On Your Gains!" w/ Alec Pinero, MS
Q: Tell us a little about how you got into health and fitness and what drew you to this field.
I came from a psychology background, spent time coaching in China, and transitioned into research at Lehman College to focus on performance and hypertrophy, with broad exposure to methods like BFR, creatine, and various measurements in the Applied Muscle Development Lab.
