    Shame they keep talking about their audience being up to 50 and feeling their age at 40-50.! What about the listeners 60 and above working out and getting on with life .

  • A Gold Mine for Physical Therapists

    A brilliant resource for PTs, ATCs, and S&C professionals. Mick and Randall give you the latest research, but most importantly, they focus on the stuff that is actually actionable and will make a difference for your patients.

Performance Under Pressure with Anthony Klarica
Q: What are some long-term strategies to enhance performance under pressure?
Planning, maintaining flexibility within the plan, and integrating mindfulness and self-assurance as daily practices are crucial for long-term success in handling pressure situations.
How Heavy is Heavy Enough with Eric Helms
Q: What are some time-efficient strategies for training?
Utilizing antagonist-agonist paired sets and drop sets can allow for more effective workouts in a shorter period of time.
How Heavy is Heavy Enough with Eric Helms
Q: How heavy do you actually need to lift to grow muscle?
You need to differentiate between strength and hypertrophy; lighter weights can still promote muscle growth if you train close to failure.

Q: What is the suggested loading period for beta-alanine?
The suggested loading period is at least two weeks, ideally four weeks to get the best amount of dosage into the muscles.
Creatine Supplementation and Exercise
Q: What about creatine? Do you know that can you get enough of it from, like if you eat enough food for better expression?
