  • The Science Behind Deloads
    Sep 24 2024

    This week, on the podcast, we talk about deloading. Deloading is a technique that allows the body and central nervous system to recover from intense training. Deloading is key to avoiding burnout and encouraging long-term gains. We discuss the two types of deloads: reactive, based on how you feel, and proactive, built into training programs. Both methods help manage CNS fatigue and support recovery and should be a part of every fitness program. We go over how to structure deloads into a workout plan to maximize strength gains.


    In this episode we discuss:

    • The Science Behind Deloading
    • Different Types of Deloading
    • When to Incorporate It Into Your Workout Schedule
    • Common Deloading Mistakes & How to Avoid Them
    • Deload vs. Rest
    • How to Plan a Deload Week for Maximum Gains
    • Signs You Need to Deload
    • The Benefits of Deloading

  • Machines vs Free Weights
    Sep 17 2024

    In today’s episode, we dive into the (heated) debate: free weights vs machines. Both have their benefits, but the choice between them depends on your specific goals. We discuss which option is better for strength gains and hypertrophy, and when to use each. While free weights are typically the go-to for building strength and muscle, machines can serve a valuable role. We’ll cover the science behind this and discuss the scenarios where machines might be the better choice.

    • Which is Best for Strength Training
    • Which is Better for Muscle Building
    • How to Choose what you need based for Your Fitness Goals
    • Free Weights Pros & Cons
