    Episode 336: Solocast Anaerobic Chaos Incoming (Level 2 Preview)
    Jul 29 2025

    In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I break down how to train your cardio without wrecking your strength gains. We’re digging into the real roles of your aerobic and anaerobic systems—why most lifters skip the boring base work, and why that’s a big mistake if you want better performance and recovery.

    I also share a sneak peek at the upcoming Flexible Meathead Cardio Level 2 course, which covers high-intensity interval training (HIIT), anaerobic power, and how to program it all without turning your training into a dumpster fire.

    Whether you're a meathead trying to breathe between sets or just want to recover faster and hit harder—this one's for you.

    Episode 334: Max Gains, Less Time: Myo-Reps, Hypertrophy & Recovery with Dr. Antonella Schwarz
    Jul 14 2025

    On this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Antonella Schwarz to geek out over her recent study on myo-reps, which she presented at the International Society of Sports Nutrition. We break down what myo-reps are, where the concept came from, and how they stack up against more traditional hypertrophy protocols.

    We also dive into some broader topics, including muscle growth principles, physical therapy applications, injury recovery strategies, and how to train efficiently when time is tight. Dr. Schwarz shares how she uses myo-reps in her own training and why performance-based goals are such a big deal. Plus, she gives us a sneak peek at her upcoming research

    If you’re a coach, trainer, or just a curious nerd like me, you’ll get a ton out of this one. Enjoy!
