Q&A: Insulin resistance and hypertrophy, stimulant metabolism, and BMR variability (Ep 126)

In this Q&A episode of the podcast, Greg and Lyndsey answer questions about how to research a new subject, the effect of diabetes or insulin resistance on hypertrophy, how a pump might affect moment arms in movements, how much is too much isolation work, and more.

I'll miss Lyndsey here. The convo was always vibing so well. Also loved the monster length episodes

[@krisztianiszak]

I'm so glad Lyndsey could join for a few episodes, the aspartame one was truly a highlight of the show

[@Mylada]

Lyndsey did great, but I understand and heard in her voice that this is not something she has passion for in the long term. I liked the science themed episodes with topics different to training tho

[@SchmittsPeter]

Goodbye Lyndsey - we will miss you.
And welcome Wolf-Pak. I hope you won't neglect your own podcast for this!!

[@d3rpn1nj47]

Greg, you've done a fantastic job on everything!

[@SirAlexanderdeLarge]

The anabolic boost we'll get from the merging of sheer masculinity emanated from the beards of Dr. Pack, Dr Wolf and Mr. Nuckols being in a single room will be the stuff of legend!!

[@yazctr]

I demand the return of ERIC T!

[@jacobhoneck8202]

Excited to have Pak and Milo on the show but Lyndsey absolutely killed that artificial sweetener episode ❤

[@wizzelhoart]

what ever happened to that other guy? The old host? Did he go to jail or sumething ?

[@michelbeaudet2605]

Merci

Having a pump in my biceps make it harder to do full elbow flexion. I always take my elbow sleeves off for top sets of bicep curls. When doing triceps the pump helps with coming out of the bottom with elbow extension.

IM JUST FINISHED WEEK 2 OF THE INT HIGH BENCH 3X PROGRAM AND SQUAT INT 2X, IN 2 WEEKS I'LL SHOW RESULTS

[@Ian-io3yt]

For what it's worth I have suspected insulin resistance as well as a chronic inflammatory condition, and I find it impossible to get any stronger in the gym. My programming is just fine but I've been stuck lifting the same weights for the exercises I do for the past several years. After the initial beginner strength and muscle gains, I can't progress any further

[@ryanfleming2049]

What is the intro song? It’s dope as hell

[@ew-zd1th]

But when you take your diabetes medicine than you build muscle like without t2b?

[@azulsimmons1040]

Now I'm getting hungry.
