I repeat again. Best science educator on any platform. Really glad you decided to step into podcast. I feel your podcast of more as a lecture series for me. Gonna tell i take weekly lectures from a Dr named Andy Galpin.
Top fucking content, no hype, no bullshit, based on actual science, very well conveyed to the listener. This channel should be 10 million subscribers not 124k,
First heard you on Dr Huberman's podcast. Then Cam's. Your ability to put complex info into a simple explanation is 2nd to none. Love your podcast! Thank you from Onalaska, WA! Life changing stuff! You're going to help so many people!
PLEASE continue to breakdown example programs like this. IMO this is the best way to learn. Please continue explaining concepts by showing us how they play out in real world examples/programs. Not enough educators/coaches explain concepts with real world examples. More of this please!
I never comment on youtube videos, but I seriously need to show my appreciation for your incredible content and help spread it further. Thank you for always being a great educator and a constant source of quality information Dr Galpin! I have a question though: Why is the Metamorphosis program document provided in the description just the detailed plan for weeks 1-4 and missing weeks 4-8 entirely?
I remember giggling at the term "Fartlek" when introduced to it in grade 9 around 1971. We were taught that it meant "speed-play". Thanks for the great info.
I Haven't had any affirmations lately from Dr.Andy or an of the other few I follow . So that made my whole day Thank You for your time and Ability to teach people like me, :-)
Great content, clearly explained. I've been following this guy for a while because he's so knowledgeable and no BS. Glad to see you setting up your own podcast Andy. I almost never comment, so consider this as high praise;)
Hei! You changed my Life with your series with Huberman! When I saw that series I had been a year and a half trying to fix my back problems. That series was the one thing that made the impact that saved me. Fysiotherapy back camps hundreds if not thousend off dollars on spesialist couldnt do what you teached me. Been waiting for this series sins you anounced it😊 From te botom off my heart. Thank you❤
Awesome- thank you for your valuable added factual information…at 71 and I’m seeking all possibilities to enhance my personal body - mind capabilities!
Thanks for the great content! Another little thing people should keep in mind when optimizing endurance performance and VO2 max is, that you have to be in an optimal state of hydration (physiologically: if preload drops, your cardiac output and subsequently your oxygen transport capacity will deteriorate). Same goes for making sure, that you are not anemic (especially of interest in premenopausal women). Again, thanx for your very informative podcast!
So glad to see Andy with a podcast. Natural communicator with top notch experience and information. World is a better place with this podcast. Best of luck Andy!
Hi Andy, this is awesome as I have been struggling to improve my VO2Max even though my strength and muscle are growing. Your show notes stopped at Week 4. Would you update that to include all 8 weeks?
Like most podcasts, it's just a teaser for you to buy one of the sponsored products. That said - it's a pretty reasonable price for the full program, which looks like it shows. you how to do each exercise. I'm still not buying it.
@@ppalom224597 dollars currently.... hmmm. I'd maybe pay 25 personally, because like with any program there is high chance I wouldn't even follow through
I've watched to all of your podcasts on RUclips, many of them several times. I also purchased your course on BioMoecular Athlete, which is beyond fantastic. Best of luck with the podcast - you are the single best presenter on RUclips for science based health and fitness, and no matter how much content you post here, many of us will still be eager for more.
I feel like all my Christmas's have come. So excited that you have started this podcast. Thank you so much for making this information so accessible. Your delivery is so clear and precise and I trust the info. I take notes, watch and re-watch and take action.
😅I'm recovering, but this workout needs to hit the streets and the mainstream. Love the weekly increases and excited to roll out this routine with this next wave in workout and physical therapy. Thank you! Shoot Yowana an email and get him in for an interview, or any hobbyist whose RUclips is buzzing
Thanks for the information. I absolutely appreciate and try to include it in my training. I had a problem with downloading the 50 days program from your website.
Hey, I'm interested in this 8 week VO2 max program - did I mishear you, I thought I heard you say you could download it for free, I'm seeing it for $97. Thanks for any clarification on this. Great podcast!
It’s on the podcast website. I’ve tried to link it here a few times but i think RUclips is deleting them. Anyways, the first 4 weeks of the 8 week metamorphosis program are linked there.
Yes would love to get the second half on pdf if possible, however it's largely covered in the podcast. Will be re listening tonight with a notepad and building the program for my wife and I to start next week.
Wonderful that Dr. Galpin decide to create sport-science content! But one question: everyone's talking about running, cycling, rucking, swimming etc. to get your cardio. But what if I'm into a sport like tennis or soccer. Will just practicing these (with bit of attention to intensity) also strengthen my heart, building mitochondria etc. as good as an repetitive exercise like running?? If you hear to guys like Peter Attia you always have to hit the bike or stuff like that whick personally fir me is pretty boring and costs my additional time. would appreciate bitt more context to my question😊
Mentioning Mark Bell's weight as a reason to tailor the program differently is something I've struggled with. I'm 225-230 at about 12% body fat. I tried starting off a running program heavy and got an aching achilles and shin splints pretty quick. Now I've learned the importance of different training equipment. I'll mix in using an elliptical or incline walking/rucking for my longer easy stuff and assault bikes for shorter intervals while still sprinkling in running for load tolerance.
Review and discussion of a specific program really helped me understand the general concepts more so that I can modify or create a program suited better for my needs. Good pod!
I'd like to hear what you think of Dr Sim's work on avoiding moderate intensity if you are perimenopausal, and focusing on high intensity and lower intensity. Indeed, regardless of menopause are there sex differences in how women's cardio training should be done?
This is a great podcast. I’ve listened to the Huberman podcasts with you and this one and it’s a great pleasure to find such useful informations. I am a swimming coach and I would be very happy to show us in a new episode how to develop speed, power and strength in swimming. Thank you!
this should be mandatory viewing by not just common folks but physicians. how many of us have ever talked to a physician or medical professional about anything regarding these topics? time is the tyrant in medicine now. they want you in and out withing 10 to15 minutes. these videos are a godsend. why can't there be a station like this on cable news? Advertisers?💲💲💲💲💲💲😉😉
I would ❤ more content - concept training! Like this. Very thorough (I missed the explanation of Phase 2 - Day 4 on what Shorter Higher Intensity Fartleks..from your perspective. You went into the Day 5 & 6 that I followed. Thanks Andy!
Thank you so much for all the high quality information you shared with the world! As a basketball player I have always struggled to build up endurance. This will help me a lot.
Anything you do I am interested In. Doctor.In your opinion is it a waste of time to only the three types of endurance training once a week? Ie , 1 anaerobic 1 aerobic and one long distance ? I have been trying to work on my endurance in general , after watching the vo2 max video and listening to you talk for awhile about it on other podcasts, I am trying it. Thank you for all you do for us for free!
Just to make 100% I understand - for the 50-day marathon program, the days where lifting and running are combined. This is done right after each other to be the most effective? One shouldn't say do the lift in the morning and the running in the evening? Thanks appreciate all the info and guidance.
Thank you for such a great episode! Question maybe I didn't catch it on the video. How do we implement this protocol with a strength routine. I started few weeks ago 3-4 days a week and want to improve my VO2 max. Should I do like 4 weeks of strength and 4 weeks of conditioning? Should I mix them up? T
Welcome Back, Dr Galpin. Can you Do a podcast on Body types and training protocols for different body types, i am an ectomorph and I adapt to growth slowly, but if I skip workout i lose muscle/size faster than I gain, not significant difference in stamina or endurance. there is not much content on this
Hey Dr. Galpin, would love if you could talk about 1. Type 1 diabetes related to performance.. I just became a type 1 a few years ago after a lifetime of being a competitive ice hockey goalie. Finding it quite difficult to manage with my gym performance and conditioning, ect.. 2. Muscle memory, and “cardio memory” if that even exists.. what someone would do if they were a former athlete who wanted to make a comeback for example like myself. Thx and love the podcast so far.
Hey I was just wondering would a program like this would be okay on top of the hypertrophy program recommended in the future episode “build muscle, size, strength and power with science based programs” for example if I did hypertrophy session in the morning and Jamesson’s vo2 max session in the afternoon or evening? Or would that not impede my recovery resulting in less adaptations for both? I believe he answered this question before maybe even on Andrew Huberman’s podcast
Starting the Metamorphosis training plan. Just finished Week 1 day 1, ran with nasal breathing only, tracked my HR with WHOOP and was steady at 145 BPM, is that okay I heard Dr. Galpin say that it should be near 120. Looking forward to sharing notes here as the training goes on!
@@ssjgold Really good. Feeling much more energetic throughout the day. Resting HR is Lower by 2 BPM and HRV is up. Recovery in between sessions is good. Every session I have increased the time running by 2 mins. Started out at 20 mins currently at 34 mins. Feel free to ask any more questions!
Does anyone know where I find weeks 5-8 for metamorphosis? I looked at the show website and it has weeks 1-4. I really wanted to try the whole program.
Which is more important… Relative VO2 max (per kg of bodyweight) or absolute VO2 max (in litres/minute)? Do cyclists have better longevity outcomes than rowers? Is the current focus on VO2 max per kg of bodyweight, which skews data against having high amounts of muscle, an artefact of research methods and what is easy measure and to compare?
30 year old active male here. EF rate of 12% in 2020 and told I needed a transplant. Few miracles later I am back to a “normal” baseline and actively training (BJJ, strength training, calisthenics) Is my vo2 max forever stunted due to the trauma my heart went through? Additionally I take a small dosage of a cardioselective beta blocker (metoprolol) which limits my HR from reaching those zone 3-4 levels. Outside of eventually getting off the beta blocker.. what can I actively do to make up for the damage done in 2020? Thank you in advance for reading Dr. Galpin!!
Hey Dr Galpin, quick question, if I'm cycling in zone 2 and encounter a hill. My heart rate goes up to 160, is it beneficial to coast back down and tackle rhe hill 5 or 6 times in the middle of my ride for hiit benefits? Love that you've got your own podcast btw.
I am 82, go to the gym almost daily and use strength training machines. Could you please take a moment to advise me and my old friends on how to exercise efficiently but safely ( cardio and strength training )? It's extremely difficult to find advice for people 80 and older. I thank you in advance.
Hi Andy, I'm really sold to pick Faster 50 as my program for my marathon next 3 months. Just need 2 additional infos: - at what level of perceived speed recovery run should be done? - at what level should then the race should be done?
3 месяца назад
For half marathon, should we follow the same program and just cut the kilometers for long and other runs?
Can you do any video on how to improve sports performance for non professional athlete? For people like who have a regular office job but play sports 3-4 times per week. This could be Badminton, tennis , basketball etc What would be the best approach etc.
I currently following a CrossFit program that has strength and metabolic conditioning with one day a week of endurance running. How would I layer this 8 week metamorphosis program on top of that ?
I am 44 yo female - my Apple Watch gives me a max HR of 200 & resting HR of roughly 65bpm (you mentioned 60+ is not great☹) I am fit, but not super fit. Cardio/resistance x3 per week When I run in what feels like Zone 2 (talk test) my HR could so be anything between 140- 175 but I don’t feel over-worked. I thought maybe the tracker wasn’t accurate. So I went for a proper fitness test in a sports clinic to get some real figures because I was concerned about this being higher than average. I did the VO2 max treadmill test and the result was 44 vo2 with a max HR of ~190 & my cardio recovery was good. So the watch wasn’t that far off.. The coach thought that with my good cardio recovery & decent vo2max that my high HR wasn’t a concern. He said the high resting HR was most likely stress/anxiety related. (Of which there is plenty🙂 ) Does any of this seem normal ?? 🥺
If somebody can only train 3-4 times per week 45 mins each session How much lifting and cardio would be recommended for max muscle hypertrophy and good amount of cardio for health ?
Can someone teach breathing gears to me? I find it hard to learn from the person that invented them, and Andy, across all the videos I’ve heard, mentions but doesnt explain them all. I think gears really resonate with me but I don’t get gears 3 or 4 (or 5?). How do they relate to HR zones? I’d love to understand the gear system fully
I repeat again.

You said a few times the full program for Metamorphosis is in the show notes. But I can only see weeks 1-4, is that right? Love this podcast. 💪🏼💨
I found that too. I also don't really know what some of the exercises are 😂. Is there any direction for these?
Same
I think its because its a paid program from Joel's site. Probably didnt want the full program out.

Get the book "The Barbell Prescription: Strength Training for Life after 40" by Jonathon M. Sullivan/Andy Baker
what´s your opinion on Dr. Yessis` approach on training?
It’s for tendon health. High reps low weight instead of low reps high weight. Try the latter and you go snap tendon city
He's great! Spend many years walking the same halls as me at CSUF.
thumbnail looks great! for a sec i thought it was a hubermanlab video hahah

The coach thought that with my good cardio recovery & decent vo2max that my high HR wasn’t a concern. He said the high resting HR was most likely stress/anxiety related. (Of which there is plenty🙂 )
Does any of this seem normal ?? 🥺
How do you calculate your V02 max yourself?
I don't necessarily trust my garmin watch because the number never goes up.
Love it a lot!
When I warm up for a jiu-jitsu match, how high should I get my heart rate?
Most people say break a sweat but I'm a heavy sweater.
only weeks 1-4 in the notes?
If somebody can only train 3-4 times per week 45 mins each session
How much lifting and cardio would be recommended for max muscle hypertrophy and good amount of cardio for health ?
Thanks
What are your thoughts on the Nordic 4x4? Doing that 1 a week
In addition to KB workouts 4x a week?
Can someone teach breathing gears to me? I find it hard to learn from the person that invented them, and Andy, across all the videos I’ve heard, mentions but doesnt explain them all.
I think gears really resonate with me but I don’t get gears 3 or 4 (or 5?). How do they relate to HR zones? I’d love to understand the gear system fully
