Lifting for Your Brain: What Resistance Training Does Above the Neck (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most of us walk into the gym assuming the body is on duty and the brain has the hour off. It's the other way around. Every squat starts as an electrical signal. The awkward first weeks of a new movement aren't weak muscles, they're a nervous system learning a skill. Strength, it turns out, is partly something you know how to do. That's the door into a bigger question: what does lifting do for the organ running the show? This episode covers the research connecting resistance training to executive
Rest is Not One Thing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Training is the stimulus. It is not the adaptation. That happens later — in the hours we treat as leftover time, and describe with words that all mean absence: rest day, off day, recovery day. This week Pete brings Srdjan a piece of research that has nothing to do with the gym and everything to do with it. In 2007, Sabine Sonnentag and Charlotte Fritz published the Recovery Experience Questionnaire, built on a puzzle they kept running into: hours off didn’t predict who came back restored. Two pe
Stress, Cortisol, and Your Gains (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Cortisol gets described online as the thing standing between you and the body you want. It's actually the hormone that gets you out of bed. It runs on a daily curve, highest in the morning and lowest at night, and it regulates blood sugar, blood pressure, inflammation, and how much energy the body makes available when something demands it. Exercise raises it. That's the point of exercise. A hard session raises cortisol for a few hours, then it settles. Chronic stress never allows the settling. T
Listener Questions (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A calorie deficit takes energy away. Building muscle demands it. Whether you can do both at once depends almost entirely on where you're starting from, and the answer for a beginner is not the answer for someone ten years in. Exercise order comes next. The case for doing compound lifts first has nothing to do with those lifts being better. It's about energy: what a squat asks of you versus what a leg extension asks, and what happens to your form once the tank is empty. There are limits to that r
Peptides Explained, Part Two: BPC-157, TB-500, and the Growth Hormone Stack (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Part one covered the fight. This one covers the food. Four peptides get walked through one at a time. BPC-157 and TB-500 are the recovery pair — the ones most often discussed together, and the ones most often sold together. The claim is that one improves the conditions for healing by supporting blood flow and collagen production, while the other helps repair cells reach the damage faster. Neither is a painkiller. Neither creates healing. The pitch is that they make the body better at a job it al
