Episode 293 IronRadio - Topic Realistic Resolutions

It's an extra long show! After some holiday news and a discussion on high-dose caffeine, the guys discuss New Year's resolutions. First, in the news, several questions crop up. What did the guys get for Christmas? What training-related stuff did YOU get for Christmas? And what's confusing about caffeine? Can it help with recovery in some ways but blunt muscle growth in others? Also, how much arse is being kicked by the Eastern European raw lifters? Then, after the mid-show break, talk turns to the new year. Phil shares thoughts on resolutions versus proper goals, Dr. L computes how long it takes to lose significant amounts of fat or gain noticable muscle, and Dr. Nelson offers data on New Year's resolution success rates. Also discussed are exercise timing windows, muscle biopsies, mTOR and cancer, green tea, curcumin, resveratrol, homemade gym equipment, Phil's new gym, diminishing returns, why people fail, and tons more. Happy New Year to the whole Iron Brotherhood!
