014: Maximize Fitness Gains Using Human Physiology and Biomechanics

For many, the gym is a sacred place. With aspirations of sculpting the perfect physique and developing world-class athletic performance, people literally shed blood, sweat, and tears. Whether or not you are one of those people that gives 100% of their effort every single day in the gym, it should be a priority to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of your results. No matter how hard you work, if you’re aren’t optimizing your approach, you will be limited in the results you achieve.

In this episode, we are going to break down some of the key principles of human physiology and biomechanics to understand how you can optimize your workouts. Following three simple and easy to implement strategies, you may be able to increase muscle hypertrophy, strength, testosterone and growth hormone levels, and maximize neuromuscular adaptation. I’ll also share some of my favorite exercises and workouts, including a killer 12 minute leg burner.
