  • 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.

    Jul 21 2025
    In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I’m joined by the always-interesting Levi Earl, who's tuning in all the way from Finland, to nerd out on all things aerobic training, grip strength, and how to make your meathead conditioning actually work for you, not against you.We dive into why strength athletes need better aerobic systems (no, it’s not just for skinny endurance types), how mountain training builds freakish capacity, and why grip training is way more than just farmer’s carries until your soul leaves your body.We also delve into sport-specific gems, such as what wrestlers, hockey players, and other power athletes can glean from these methods to enhance their performance without tiring out.Whether you’re a high-level athlete or want to stop sucking wind between sets, you’ll walk away with some highly usable intel.Give it a listen—grab your notebook, and consider bringing a pulse oximeter if you're feeling particularly curious.Sponsors:Tecton Life Ketone drink! https://tectonlife.com/ DRMIKE to save 20%LMNT electrolyte drink mix: miketnelsonlmnt.comAvailable now:Grab a copy of the Triphasic Training II book I co-wrote with Cal Deitz here.Episode Chapters:05:22 Conversation with Levi Earl Begins05:30 Grip Training Insights and Techniques08:51 Aerobic System Benefits for Grip Athletes10:12 Training Methods and Recovery11:53 Grip Training Tools and Techniques21:34 Aerobic Conditioning for Lifters32:01 Maintaining Aerobic Base During Sports Season39:30 The College System and Athlete Development39:37 Isometric Training in Greco Style Wrestling40:01 Mountain Training: Benefits and Challenges41:12 Altitude Training: Science and Practical Insights43:53 Mental and Physical Benefits of Mountain Training47:26 High Altitude Training for Different Sports52:38 Hypoxic Training and Its Applications54:53 Weight Cutting and Altitude Training01:01:38 Aerobic Training and Cognitive Benefits01:10:00 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsFlex Diet Podcast Episodes You May Enjoy:Episode 177: Training Principles from Gonzo Grip Strength with Adam Glass and Dr Mike T Nelson - https://youtu.be/u7659KqTKWQ Episode 264: Finding Your Aerobic Sweet Spot for Peak Health with Dr Phil Batterson - https://youtu.be/AbX9VyB8DscConnect with Levi:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leviearl/Website: https://www.leviearl.com/About Levi:Levi Earl is an Olympic-level Strength & Performance Coach based in Finland.

  • 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!
