15-10-5 Lifting Protocol, Resting Heart Rate, HRV, Muscle Growth and More with Bryan Boorstein | Ep 758

Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!In this episode, Bryan Boorstein is back on the podcast for another great conversation about training, recovery, cardio and hypertrophy. We discuss how Bryan uses recovery metrics like resting heart rate and HRV to monitor readiness and why long-term trends matter more than focusing on any single data point. We also get into his current training approach, including his transition away from full-body training, the upper/lower split he is using, and the 15-10-5 protocol that allows him to create a strong training stimulus while managing fatigue. If you want to train more efficiently and better balance lifting, cardio, and recovery, this episode is a must-listen. Let’s talk about:00:00 Introduction02:16 Catching Up With Bryan04:24 Using HRV and Resting Heart Rate to Track Recovery10:50 How to Look at HRV Data14:46 Bryan’s Current Training Approach16:57 The 15-10-5 Training Protocol20:08 Making Training More Efficient21:00 Mechanical Tension and Exercise Execution23:28 Pyramid vs. Reverse Pyramid Training24:54 How Bryan Progresses the 15-10-5 Method27:09 How Rep Ranges Change Exercise Execution31:33 Bryan’s Cardio Training Approach34:24 Why Cardio Progression Is Different Than Weight Training37:29 Training in the Heat38:38 Bryan’s TRT Update44:20 Changes in Resting Heart Rate After TRT45:40 Exercise Selection and Stimulus-to-Fatigue Ratio46:35 Why More Range of Motion Isn’t Always Better49:09 The 45-Degree Hip Extension52:29 Where to Find Bryan and His Current ProjectsFollow Bryan on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/bryanboorstein/Follow me on Instagram for more information and education:https://www.instagram.com/jeffhoehn_/?hl=enHow You Can Work With Me?: https://jhhealth.net/workwithme/Coaching application: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfE-99wLDZRXlOOY1pWuAmkogdZOm-7ZvN_thbqNWLdNrj5bg/viewformBody Recomp Checklist 2.0: https://chipper-producer-6244.kit.com/26b5c9f94a
