Can you please make a video on how to stay optimistic & resilient when faced with unexpected challenges or adversities (to overcome) & rise up to a brighter day? I’m caretaking for three family members & often at risk of burn out but I’m doing my best & pushing forward. Self care isn’t always easy cause everyone is so demanding & stubborn at times (all geriatric & with their own comorbidities / disposition). I always seek to optimize their health & help stabilize or reverse their conditions with dietary, supplement or exercise intervention etc but compliance isn’t always there. Takes lot of patience. Covering this topic in some shape or form would greatly help me Andrew huberman. Your support to the community is very much appreciated!

"Drewberman" comin' in clutch for me! With such an insane level of atrophy; family doesn't recognize me. So, I wanted to make sure I got the science on my side for the fighting, for the restoration of muscle mass that can stabilize me. Cause, I look like I might break from a light breeze... hell, maybe even improper lighting, will kick in the bend of my right knee. This is so stupid, the rhyme scheme... but can't you tell that I'm hyped, see? Much love yo!

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 16:31 💪 Exercise choice alone does not determine the adaptation; it's the application of the exercise (sets, reps, rest ranges) that primarily influences the outcome. 20:54 📊 You don't necessarily need to assess your one-repetition maximum; conversion charts can estimate it based on your repetitions and weight lifted. 22:22 🏋️ For strength and hypertrophy, modifiable variables include choice of exercise, intensity, volume (reps and sets), rest intervals, and progression. 25:51 📆 Training frequency is essential; how often you perform an exercise affects your progress. 35:08 💪 To develop strength, you need to impose a high-intensity demand, typically above 85% of your one-rep max, with low repetitions (5 or less) per set. 38:29 💪 For strength training, rest periods of 2 to 4 minutes between sets are recommended to maximize outcomes. 39:29 ⏳ Limiting strength and hypertrophy training sessions to around 60 minutes can help manage recovery and prevent overtraining. 40:29 🔄 Super setting push-pull exercises can be an effective way to maintain intensity and cardiovascular effort during a workout. 41:28 🩸 Different types of exercise adaptations lead to various physiological responses, and you can strategically choose your training approach based on your goals. 42:27 🏋️‍♂️ Hypertrophy training and anaerobic conditioning can offer the most comprehensive physiological adaptations across multiple categories. 44:24 🧠 Early adaptations to exercise are primarily neural, but sustained hypertrophy takes weeks and involves changes at the muscle fiber level. 45:21 💡 Training frequency is crucial, and waiting too long between workouts may miss the window for inducing further hypertrophy. 46:21 🔄 The gene cascade and protein synthesis process play a role in hypertrophy, with a recovery window of 24 to 48 hours between workouts. 47:48 💪 Strength development involves changes in the nervous system, muscle contraction, and connective tissue, making daily training feasible. 49:45 🤔 Strength and hypertrophy have a relationship, but more muscle doesn't guarantee proportionate strength gains. 58:10 💪 Repetition ranges for strength training are typically five or less, with the frequency being as often as every day. Rest intervals can range from two to four minutes, or longer for one-repetition maximum attempts. 59:12 💪 For hypertrophy training, effective repetition ranges can vary from five to 30 reps per set. A minimum of two times per week per muscle group is recommended for hypertrophy. 01:00:10 💪 Training for strength can follow the "three to five concept," which involves selecting three to five exercises, doing three to five reps, three to five sets, resting for three to five minutes, and training three to five times a week. 01:13:32 💡 The "mind-muscle connection" or being intentional about contracting specific muscles during exercises may contribute to greater muscle growth. 01:18:01 🧠 Proper muscle activation during exercises is key for muscle development, and compensatory movements can hinder progress. 01:19:23 💡 Visualization, tactile feedback, and touch can help improve muscle group activation during exercises. 01:23:20 🔑 Separating breath from brace is essential for effective core stabilization during exercises. 01:35:07 💪 Adrenaline ramp-up during workouts can lead to energy crashes later. Down-regulations after workouts can help avoid this issue, even with just a few minutes. 01:36:08 🕒 Taking short breaks, as short as one minute, between intense activities can help conserve neural energy and enhance performance. 01:38:05 🏃‍♂️ When focusing on endurance training, choose exercises with minimal eccentric landing to reduce muscle damage and soreness. 01:39:59 🚴‍♂️ Activities like cycling, swimming, and rowing are good options for endurance training with minimal eccentric loading. 01:41:57 🔄 Mixing strength training and endurance training in the same workout or within the same week is generally not detrimental to overall progress. 01:47:18 💪 Interference between endurance and muscle growth is less significant than previously believed, especially if energy intake is controlled. 01:52:15 🚶 Incorporating more movement into your daily routine, like walking during phone calls or pacing, is essential for overall physical health. 01:53:46 🏃‍♂️ Dr. Andy Galpin recommends doing something once a week to reach a maximum heart rate (close to max intensity), lasting at least 30 seconds, for optimal cardiovascular health. 01:54:46 💓 Maximum heart rate (approximated as 220 minus age) is a rough measure and may vary significantly among individuals; focus on reaching a challenging heart rate during exercise. 01:56:12 🏋️‍♂️ Incorporating high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts that challenge maximum heart rate once a week can complement hypertrophy training and provide various cardiovascular benefits. 02:00:41 🩺 Identifying your point of physiological failure (e.g., legs vs. cardiovascular system) helps tailor your training to address specific weaknesses. 02:02:11 🏃‍♂️ To build well-rounded endurance, include three components: once-a-week high-intensity training, extended moderate-intensity cardiovascular work, and 2-6 minutes of high-intensity work followed by equal rest periods, repeated as needed. 02:15:04 🏋️‍♂️ Training just below the threshold of pain can help improve tissue tolerance and desensitize pain signals, especially for conditions like low back pain. 02:16:04 💧 Proper hydration is essential for health and performance. Aim for half your body weight in ounces of water per day and replenish fluids lost during exercise. 02:17:30 💧 Hydration needs vary based on individual factors like sweat rate. Sweat testing can help determine sodium loss and guide electrolyte supplementation. 02:31:01 💧 Pre and post-exercise hydration recommendation is around 500 milligrams of salt each time. 02:34:22 💧 If you're losing more than 1% of your body weight during exercise, it's essential to focus on hydration. 02:34:53 🍽️ Whether to train fasted or not depends on personal preference and the type of training, but it's generally okay for the average person. 02:36:54 🥶 Avoid immediate cold exposure like ice baths after strength or hypertrophy training, as it can interfere with muscle growth. 02:37:25 ❄️ It's best to wait at least a few hours before cold exposure after a workout to minimize interference with hypertrophy. 02:38:31 🥶 Cold showers are not as effective as ice baths for recovery and adaptation, and it's preferable to separate them from strength training. 02:40:59 🏋️‍♂️ Cold exposure may not be as detrimental to strength development as it is to hypertrophy, so it's less concerning in strength-focused training. 02:49:29 🏋️‍♂️ Sauna use after strength and hypertrophy training could have potential benefits, although there isn't official data yet. It might be beneficial after endurance training as well, assuming proper hydration. 02:49:57 🌡️ An ideal regimen might involve training, then sauna or heat exposure, followed by cold exposure on off days or several hours away from training, optimizing recovery and adaptation. 02:50:59 ❄️ Cold exposure in the morning can lead to improved overall relaxation and HRV (Heart Rate Variability) scores throughout the day, reducing the need for excessive caffeine. 02:51:28 🌊 Sitting still in cold water immersion creates a thermal layer around you, so it's more effective to move around a bit to break up this layer for better cold exposure results. 02:51:57 💪 Regular cold exposure can lead to enhanced adaptability and reduced fatigue, as seen consistently in athletes' HRV scores. 03:02:42 🔵 Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) can improve training performance by helping to regulate pH levels in muscles, reducing fatigue, and enhancing endurance. 03:07:40 🫐 Inhaled oxygen is used by the body to create energy by breaking down carbohydrates or fats, with carbohydrates stored as glycogen in muscles. 03:08:08 🔬 Anaerobic glycolysis, which breaks down carbohydrates for fuel in low-oxygen conditions, produces acid as a byproduct, leading to fatigue buildup. 03:14:06 💡 Sodium bicarbonate can temporarily increase alkalinity in the body, delaying the onset of fatigue during intense exercise. 03:15:34 🥤 To use sodium bicarbonate, start with a small amount (e.g., half a teaspoon) dissolved in water, consumed around 45 minutes before exercise. 03:16:04 🤢 Gastric distress is a potential side effect of sodium bicarbonate, so use caution and experiment to find the right dosage. 03:24:57 🌙 Understanding and addressing environmental factors can significantly improve sleep quality, even when other aspects have been optimized. 03:25:26 🌬️ Monitoring environmental factors during sleep, such as temperature, humidity, and air quality, can impact sleep quality. 03:25:57 😴 Re-breathing CO2 around your face during sleep can lead to sleep problems; addressing this can improve sleep quality. 03:26:56 🛏️ Absolute Rest is a commercial sleep optimization device that can diagnose sleep-related issues and improve sleep quality. 03:28:19 🤝 Dr. Galpin's ability to distill complex information into practical protocols is highly valuable to many people. 03:29:17 📲 Connect with Dr. Andy Galpin on Instagram and Twitter for further information on exercise science and related topics.

A quick summary of important points, imho: 9 Adaptations from exercise, concepts to hit within each one The concepts are few, but the methods are many 1 skill - moving mechanically how you want to move 2 speed - moving as fast as possible 3 power - speed x strength 4 strength - force production 2-5 minuets of rest 5 hypertrophy - growing muscle mass (10 working sets a week, min) globally based endurance localized in the muscle 6 muscular endurance - how many pushups in a minuet - important for slow twitch postural integrity Leaving local muscle, now effecting the entire cardiovascular or energetic system(s) 7 anaerobic power - a lot of work in 30 sec - 1 to 2 mins 8 VO2 max - 3-12 mins at max heart rate 9 long duration endurance - how long can you sustain work? 30+ mins progressive overload - system must be stressed for growth -different variables for each type of adaptation exercise choice - exercise don't determine adaptations, the execution of the exercise matters, the application matters: the sets, reps, etc intensity - not perceived effort, but % or 1 rm, or % of VO2 max. volume - sets and reps, total work rest intervals complexity frequency All joints through all ranges of motion across the week Specific adaptation to imposed demand Signs of good Hypertrophy training 1. feeling the muscle contract 2. soreness/burning afterward or during? (from 1-10 looking for a 3-5) 3. pump during the work? Strength and power: 3-5 rule. 3-5 exercises, 3-5 reps, 3-5 sets, 3-5 minuets rest, 3-5 times a week -differentiator is intensity: strength 85% 1rm, power 40% to 70% Breathing and bracing is key, weather you are heavy exertion or very light, some kind of bracing and breathing Breathing in between rounds, are we combating low oxygen or high CO2? Once per week, warm up good to sweat, get to max heart rate, max effort for 30-90 seconds, at least once or for 4-8 rounds, this will help identify your point of cardiovascular failure. Middle ground: Hard work for 4-12 minuets, 80% and hold. Min: 2 mins on, 2 mins rest, repeat. Mile repeats, or 800 meter, repeat as ability Half your body weight in oz during the day During exercise, 125% to 150% of the weight you lost in fluid

Appreciate your podcasts, insights and guests, like Andy, tremendously. 🙏🏼 In the area of endurance training combined with resistance training....duration of endurance training must be discussed if it is done *prior* or before resistance training. Reason being, around the 40 min mark we are in the depletion zone of glutathione stores. You want your glutathione stores in the muscle to be at a Maximum when *beginning* a resistance workout and not depleted at all. With that said, other than a very short warm-up, endurance or cardio should always be done *after* and never before strength, power or hypertrophic workouts.Glutathione’s multi-functional role cannot be left out of a health and performance discussion.

[@coachchara]

Haha… Sinclair. What a joke. 😂

[@coachchara]

@ruben I am 55 and I am still getting faster. Same protocol like you. Strength training (Calisthenics) and sprinting. To not slow down your functionality or to slow down the process of slowing down, movement patterns are important! High functionality. Stress free ligament usage. 90% of everything that is taught classical is wrong. It starts with the way your feet hit the ground. How you generate force and propel yourself forward. If you use your front chain or back muscle chain. The other huge parameter is nutrition. You have to get rid of all that BS that is lowcarb, keto and all the other nonsense that just adds stress on your body. If you lose your carb tolerance and your caloric tolerance, your metabolism is already in a downward spiral. Regenration can’t work as it should. Ageing is basically a slowing down of metabolism. The worst thing you can do is to slow it down additionally with excessive endurance tracking and moronic diet fads (keto, lowcarb) and pseudo anti aging theories like people like Sinclair spread to sell sell their useless supps. You are basically a bunch of cells . Quite a few. Trillions of them. All of them produce energy. Imagine it like a science experiment where you are slightly off with the parameters or ingredients needed. It won’t work as it could. Mineral balance, avoidance of some extremely detrimental fatty acids and most important running on glucose will keep your metabolism high and regenration at max. I combine a very high carb, natural sugar diet with intermittent fasting. So I get the best of both worlds without programming starvation (like keto and lowcarb do). At 55 I felt never stronger, younger and faster. I average 4.000 calories every day in a four hour window and keep low bodyfat levels constantly all year long. I don’t train high volume. Inhabe quite a high frequency. But I don’t train a high volume. Keto, lowcarb and all the other snake oil will slow you down, will slow down your metabolism and decrease your functionality and regeneration. If you want to dig deeper, have a look at the work of Ray Peat. The smartest physiologist among all of them. He understands cell metabolism. Don’t let yourself be fooled by studies that prove that putting worms in a lethargic shock, by starving them, makes them „live“ longer. They literally slow down their function. Massively. Life extension on chronic caloric deficit is a hoax. If you are a grown man, who is physically active and eat less than 3.000 calories your metabolism is basically already trash. Of course you will lose strength and get slower in the following years. So many people have wrecked their metabolism (and call it „effective“). I have coached very large male individuals who could not lose weight and sustained body weight on basically starvation diets. The spectrum is really wide. Metabolism is highly adaptive. You want to keep it high to have max regeneration, to improve even at a higher age. I started running two years ago. Because i was most of my life obese i started late. After wasting time with endurance running and trashing my feet and ligaments with wrong movement patterns I paused for a while and restarted with new movement patterns. Today i don’t even stretch anymore. I only sprint and run fast miles. Running is fun. Without all that usual mobility drills and chronic pain that most runners suffer. I increased in a few months my top sprint speed to 27 km/h. My goal is to reach 30 km/h before I turn 60 years and keep it for as long as possible. My anaerobic power is quite high. I love distances like 200 meters. Or the high power needed in uphill sprints. With these low volume training methods I have achieved a 7 minute mile while completely nose breathing at a heart rate of 155. The important thing is to never be injured. I never pulled a hamstring or adductor since I changed my movement patterns. Running back chain dominant and sprinting barefoot. This has changed everything for me. This and also getting rid of the lowcarb snake oil (which gives you a weak sleep, low testosterone, weaker thyorid function and a lot more dysfunctionality. Been there, done that. For quite a few years.

Great conversation, but the stuff about building endurance he metioned… “if you’re at the pace where you can have a conversation - to me I don’t count that as exercise” is really outdated, particularly when you consider what the world’s leading Olympic endurance athletes are actually doing. Yes, you can build some endurance by pushing your upper thresholds and VO2 max at higher heart rates, but the benefit to your VO2 max plateaus quite quickly after a couple of weeks. More recent understanding and what the world’s leading Olympic endurance athletes are actually using is what’s called “high-volume, low-heart rate” training, where the overwhelming majority of their workouts are well below their lactate threshold turning points, and they can hold a conversation - you just have to do a lot of it in order to train that base aerobic capacity, and avoid releasing the stress hormones that arrive when lactic acid levels get too high. There are almost linear benefits to that type of training all the way up to 35 hours per week. Dr. Maffetone and the “MAF” method are similar to “high-volume, low-heart rate” or “polarized” training where the overwhelming majority is in zone 1, a little bit in zone 3, but almost none in zone 2… because if you’re always pushing your upper thresholds, then you’re applying the wrong stimulus to what your base aerobic system needs to build it more overtime, in order to increases much more cardiac stroke volume and VO2 max over time. Lookup Dr Stephen Seiler’s research, or look into what the Norwegian triathlon team is doing to win gold and set Ironman records. Sports scientists are finding athletes can also recover more easily from high-volume low-heart rate training, and doing the bulk of it in that low intensity zone greatly reduces injury too. The old “no-pain, no-gain” / go push your thresholds at tempo pace every time you do cardio stuff is outdated dogma, which has limited benefit if you care about building actual endurance.

[@jacklauren9359]

Not all people who has phd title are updated when it comes to “endurance athletes and training”. He works towards mma fighters which will never see 5 hours-17 hours event in 1 day!

[@ChrisProuse]

@@jacklauren9359 - I can’t think of any good reasons why an MMA fighter wouldn’t want a higher VO2 max. After training with the correct stimulus to their underlying aerobic system as mentioned above, the Norwegian triathlete’s can also maintain near sprint level paces for several minutes that would leave others gasping for air and feeling the lactic acid burn. Their lactic acid levels remain relatively low and they experience less cardiac drift over repeated bouts. If you’re any athlete who feels the “burn”, increasing your VO2 will stave that off for longer and contribute to less fatigue / buildup of lactic acid in the muscle.

[@eliteboxfitness]

Thanks for sharing. With the benefits on mitochondria and aerobic base that zone 2 provides as well as fat oxidation, you mentioned very little work is done in zone 2, the research suggest the wolrd class cyclisst amonst endurance athektes are utilising zone 2 80 percent of the time. Personally like the zone 1 high volume low intensity but clarify the status quo on little some 2 as you mentioned as that's not what s coming out of the science and application

[@Lucasvoz]

[@robertofilipe8605]

I didn't get it. He said "do 20 sets of between 5 to 30 reps per week for hypertrophy" Per exercise people usually do 3 or 4 sets per exercise, like dumbbell chest press. 3 sets of 12 and 10 and 8 reps. So Doing like 7 exercises per week per muscle? If you do 3 sets per exercise for hypertrophy? That seems like very little volume

[@Lucasvoz]

little volume compared to what is the question, and it all depends on recovery time as well. For many people 20 sets per week is maximum.

[@Lucasvoz]

that won't be the case for people with some experience however, so individually I'd say always aim to do more if you're able

I know people with EDS who benefitted from the GAPS diet. Emphasizing eating or supplementing with connective tissues like, ground trachea, gelatin, etc, rather than eating muscle bellies like breasts. I would think about doing strengthening in less than full range of motion because of the EDS. You’re more likely to get injured at the end range. Bill De Simone has a book or two on the exercises and reasons for doing them. There’s an ER doctor who trains people with this method as well, I don’t remember the name. Don’t take my word for it though, check it out on your own. The exercises are also on KZbin. The book might me Congruent or Moment Arm exercises. It’s biomechanics based.

In the section talking about taking small does of sodium bicarbonate or baking soda before a workout, the claim was made that PH levels are reduced so the acids that build will bring to a normal baseline. However, when I listened to the Sugar podcast, Dr Huberman indicated that it’s not possible to change the PH homeostasis in the body. Can you clarify this seeming contradiction?

If I were to guess they're talking about the PH levels of the stomach only, since it's the only place ph can fluctuate I believe

[@marcgreto7107]

@@Jinx504 thanks for the reply. This Pod episode suggests that the ph levels of the muscles themselves can be lowered with sodium bicarbonate to offset the lactic acid buildup. So just trying to get that reconciled with the sugar episode that says you can’t alter body PH

[@alexislauzon8907]

My hypothesis would be Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) once ingested and metabolize would dissociate in Na and HCO3. HCO3 in the blood act as a tampon molecule. In other word bind with other molecule mostly acidid like CO2 to increase Ph of blood. I dont really know the mecanism and the perfect biological explanation tho

[@rudysal1429]

@@alexislauzon8907 I don't think that's how that works. Your blood contains H2CO3 from dissolving CO2 and converting into H2CO3 but acts as a buffer. Usually the more CO2 you have the more acidic your blood will be until it releases it by breathing out.

[@TheMalteseMisfit]

It is possible to change the pH of your body, albeit not through food which is what I think is alluded to in the podcast you mentioned. In the oncology/haematology setting we have a protocol which requires sodium bicarbonate to be given intravenously to stop methotrexate (an antimetabolite) from crystallising which would hinder it's excretion and cause more damage than necessary. Once the MTX has cleared we stopped giving the sodium bicarbonate. If it were only to change the pH in the stomach and not the rest of the body, much like other antacids, it would not be effective in preventing acid buildup in muscles.

Hopefully you'll consider doing an episode like that. I think most people in the 40s and 50s want to stay in shape, build muscle and also look good (not body builder, but have some tone / shape). Would love to know the recommended routines. Thanks!

Yes please! Some practical exercise routines for everyday people would be much appreciated!

Any slow moving classes that focus on Core strength and offer modifications for different levels are very helpful in the long run.

Yall so smart it scares me. Dr Huberman never studders or gets tongue tied. Hes always on point pronouncing all those big words. He delivers everything he says in such a way you just know it's the only truth to know. I dont think hes human lol

Indeed, good articulation builds trust. A smattering of stuttering is A-O K too👍

So appreciative of your podcast. I was looking for an episode on Menopause, as I am very interested in an in-depth analysis of this wild ride that I am just beginning :) Since you do such an amazing job in your podcast I was hoping to find something about it that was in-depth. Anyway, Thank you so much for all the valuable information you are sharing with the world and in a more condensed and simplified manner...for free, yay!. It is so refreshing to hear your podcast.

Yes please! The half of the population knows as women who begin a 10 year journey called menopause aren’t discussed enough in the wellness literature! Do us justice

[@livthedream5885]

I recommend checking out Dr.Sara Gottfried (??)… she’s an endocrinologist with books and a social media presence.

Yes please!! Please address menopause research in future podcasts!

[@MsCatalicious]

Yes, please! Athlete here who is turning 41 this year. A podcast on the hormonal changes before, during and after menopause and how to treat it in the best way would be greatly appreciated!

I do a progressively increased weight and reduced repetition exercise routine on M,W, & F (in the morning and on an empty stomach.). My routine is varied as I learn new things and takes about 90 min. I warm up with 3lb dumb bells for 50 reps in 6 various motions, then 3-4 motions of 10(40 reps), 209(30 reps), & 30lb(20 reps) (starting with core, on the floor, exercises (interspersing push ups and chin ups). I end with 150 jumping jacks. I'll greatly reduce formal exercise on Sunday. I also rest on a week long vacation trip once a year. I am 72 and weigh about 145. I also run a couple of 5k's per week (on "off " mornings). I continue to learn ways to keep both strong and supple and recognize the need to improve adaptation of efforts to overcome negative results of aging. Mr. Galpin's analytic approach to identifying solutions resonates strongly. I am only about 40 min in and plan to continue.

Rating: 8.6/10 In Short: Common Sense Strength Science Notes: These two bounce from mechanism to real life principles elegantly. Once the ideas and tools are discussed, with a dance of mechanism here and there, it becomes so clear and feels like most of the things discussed are pretty common sense. From building strength or endurance, to breathing and intent, after the tools and protocols are given it seems like I already knew it, just hadn't heard it discussed before. Of course as someone who has worked out and pushed myself I know how these things worth, but what I realized is that most of the things I 'know' about strength and endurance (as a d1 athlete) just come from stuff that friends have said before. For anyone else who has done, is doing, or plans to do thoughtful exercise and training, this is a fantastic and must listen podcast. Sometimes it gets in the weeds of strength training, but its so behavioral focused and mechanistic that it makes so much sense how the two of you go on to do a 6 EPISODE guest series.

Can't believe a 3 and a half session felt too short, excellent episode thank you so much ♥️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
