from Eat Train Prosper · host Aaron Straker | Bryan Boorstein
In ETP 211, we dig into Bryan’s recent adventure into his intuitive training Bro Split, and whether ditching the logbook is a sign of experience or a terrible idea. We explore the argument between tracking vs “feeling”, break down the real nuances of progressive overload, and discuss why the stimulus derived might matter more than the absolute weight being used.We also cover how this training strategy might shift depending on where you are in your journey, and why the answers to some of the biggest questions in training aren't as settled as the fitness industry likes to pretend.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction to Intuitive Training02:58 Exploring the Bro Split and Recency Bias06:00 Mental State and Training Frequency Challenges09:00 Tracking Progress: Intuitive vs. Logbook14:41 The Nuances of Progressive Overload20:18 The Importance of Muscle Connection26:06 Beginners vs. Advanced Training Strategies29:49 Adjusting Weight for Optimal Progress33:56 The Importance of Structure for Beginners35:24 Seasonal Training Approaches38:48 Transitioning from Tracking to Intuitive Training42:31 The Role of Connection in Muscle Training52:57 Exploring the Unknowns of Progressive Overload Work 1:1 with Aaron ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/nutrition-coaching-apply-now/Done For You Client Check-In System for Coaches ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/macronutrient-reporting-check-in-template/Paragon Training Methods Programming ⬇️https://paragontrainingmethods.comFollow Bryan's Evolved Training Systems Programming ⬇️https://evolvedtrainingsystems.comFind Us on Social Media ⬇️IG | @Eat.Train.ProsperIG | @bryanboorsteinIG | @aaron_strakerYT | EAT TRAIN PROSPER PODCAST
