Workout Recovery Matters

  • A little chat about Nickelback, breakups, and cycling. (2:00)
  • Vinnie consulted with a client who was struggling to feel stronger despite 4- and 5-day workouts. (16:15)
    • Recovery between workouts matters; it is part of the process of building muscle and strength.
    • Vinnie shares advice on how to plan the week and get appropriate recovery between workouts.
  • Exercise is a poor way to lose weight; however, it’s a great way to help support longevity by preserving muscle, strengthening bones, and managing insulin resistance. (26:00)
  • Roseburia is an intestinal bacterium, and recent studies claim a correlation between Roseburia and grip strength. (35:45)
  • Study out of Finland: people who drank more coffee had less total and abdominal fat, more muscle, and healthier metabolic markers, even at the same BMI. (51:00)
  • What is TOFA, and what does it allegedly do? (54:00)
    • It is an acronym for “5-tetradecyloxy-2-furoic acid,” which may help weight loss without muscle loss.
    • The claim is that it shows more pronounced benefits when used alongside certain GLP-1s.
    • But it has plenty of downsides, too. (56:30)
  • Once again, there is no free lunch in nature. Everything has a cost.
  • Weight loss shouldn’t be done with a pill or a substance if we can avoid it because you miss out on the dietary adaptation and learning the right habits. (59:00)

Pushing Your Limits – Episode 2316

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2316 – On this Monday’s show Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss pushing your limits with cold plunges, leg day, vibrating pills, and much more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

PUSHING YOUR LIMITS

  • Vinnie and Anna chat a bit about Vinnie’s (at the time of this recording) upcoming trip to California. (2:00)
  • Anna then brings up how she has been getting into the “cold plunging” movement. (6:30)
    • She describes how she’s progressed doing it, how it feels, and how she hopes to benefit.
    • She’s been inspired to try it from listening to people like Gary Brecka.
    • Cold plunges done correctly have shown positive healing results for people with autoimmune conditions.
  • Anna’s 50th birthday is coming up and Vinnie scoffs at the idea because Anna looks so amazing. (10:45)
    • Anna wants to head into her next decade in the most positive ways possible. 
    • This leads to some fun discussion of doppelgängers, aging, and more cold plunging therapy.
  • Vinnie wants to discuss weightlifting and a recent documentary he saw about bodybuilder Dorian Yates. (27:00)
    • Vinnie shares information about certain bodybuilding history.
    • He also advocates for what makes a good “leg day”, and pushing your limits.
    • They also discuss “natural” bodybuilding vs. steroids.

GETTING YOURSELF MOVING

  • Anna brings up a recent “cure” for constipation: a vibration pill. (41:00)
    • They have a lot of fun with this discussion; however, there is serious talk about real ways to solve this health issue.
      • The best way is to get your eating in proper order, with healthy foods and proper nutrients, and a healthy gut microbiome.
      • And no, psyllium husks do not have the proper nutrients and are not necessary!
  • They chat about how difficult it is to get people to think differently and be open to things like simply changing your eating. (47:00)
    • People end up making themselves victims.
    • People have also been led to believe that they should never question their doctors or the status quo.
    • Vinnie and Anna share ways they have helped themselves by trying different, reasonable things.
