Содержание слайда: Tips for making sense of it all: Tips for making sense of it all: What are the commonalities among successful programs? Focus on them… What are the people you’d like to emulate doing? Mentor with them… Keep in mind that you are an individual and what works for one person might not work for all people. Let’s list some differences between people leading to different prescriptions…

Содержание слайда: In the end, there is one common denominator among ALL body composition programs that get great results – whether the results are muscle building, fat loss, an overall healthy physique, etc. What is it? ALL successful programs control energy balance

Содержание слайда: Of Atkins, Sears and Ornish Let’s get practical… Riddle me this…how can all three programs produce successful weight loss results in the SAME populations?

Содержание слайда: Of Atkins, Sears and Ornish 2 Words: Maxilomandibular Fixation Obviously, not all plans are created equal. Weight loss is one thing… Losing fat Preserving bone mass & lean mass Keeping nutrient intake high Improving blood and cellular health

Содержание слайда: Ways of Creating a Negative Energy Balance Be born with a genetically fast metabolism Be born with a very spendthrift metabolism Take drugs that speed the metabolism Perform a very high volume of exercise Practice rigid calorie balancing Develop an eating disorder Remain sedentary while eating few calories IMPORTANT NOTE: These help explain how some people can stay relatively lean and look “fit” while doing the “wrong things”

Содержание слайда: Controlling Energy Balance What’s the goal here if we want to control energy balance while maximizing health and optimizing body composition? Eat as much quality food as possible Preserving bone mass & lean mass Keeping nutrient intake high Improving blood and cellular health Yet closely balancing out our energy needs

Содержание слайда: Nutritional Disclaimer Most North Americans move too little PERIOD

Содержание слайда: Nutritional Disclaimer Nutrition is important for managing energy balance and is 73.4839% responsible for physical change. Lack of exercise is the major limiting factor Profile: low calorie intake, weight gain, poor health, disease Who do we see this in?

Pattern and intensity of physical activity. Nature 410: 539, 2001. Accumulated impact of low intensity activities over greater duration is of greater energetic impact vs. short bursts of high intensity activity. All this points to at least 5 hours of total physical activity per week – and for maximal G-Flux, perhaps some form of exercise almost every day – with a mix of high and low intensity activities.

Содержание слайда: More Advanced Principles

Содержание слайда: Body Type Individualization Three Body Types Ectomorphic (lean, thin, small joints, fast metabolism) Mesomorphic (muscular, stocky, larger muscles, small joints) Endomorphic (higher % fat, larger frame, slow metabolism)

Содержание слайда: Body Type Individualization Ectomorphic Physiology: Hyperactive sympathetic nervous systems and thyroid hormone output. Energy Balance Considerations: High SNS and thyroid output leads to high amounts of non-exercise energy expenditure (RMR, TEF, SPA). High SNS also leads to reduced digestive activity and lower appetite.

Содержание слайда: Body Type Individualization Mesomorphic Physiology: High anabolic hormone concentrations. Energy Balance Considerations: High anabolic hormone concentrations increase tissue turnover and protein synthesis, keeping energy expenditure high yet not as high as the ectomorph. High anabolic hormone concentrations increase appetite.

Содержание слайда: Body Type Individualization Endomorphic Physiology: High insulin output and low SNS activity. Energy Balance Considerations: Low SNS activity leads to low amounts of non-exercise energy expenditure (RMR, TEF, SPA). Low SNS activity is correlated with increased appetite.

Содержание слайда: More Advanced Movement Ideas For Overall Program Design 3 types of exercise that should be in your program: Strength training Interval training Cardio training

Содержание слайда: More Advanced Movement Strength training: Should create muscle damage and CNS challenge/fatigue. And this is where the benefit comes in as the body adapts with increased muscle mass and strength. Further, the repair process in calorie expensive, leading to an 5-10% increase in metabolic rate that lasts for 24+ hours. Interval training: Should create high energy demand as well as depletion of stored substrate. (It also contributes to CNS challenge/fatigue). The benefits of this exercise come after the exercise session as the body dumps large amounts of triglycerides post exercise, uses a lot of calories to replenish stored substrate, and elevates metabolism over the following 12-24h. Cardio training: Should burn calories while exercising to “top off” G-Flux expenditure. Further, can help with recovery of muscle damage and CNS fatigue. This exercise does not increase 24 hour calorie burning and alone is ineffective in creating body transformation.

Содержание слайда: More Advanced Movement Intervals vs. Cardio Debate *Tremblay compared aerobic vs. sprint exercise and the sprint group lost 3x more fat while expending ½ the calories. *Mougios compared high and low intensity programs and found no significant difference in fat loss, but the low intensity group lost lean mass. (long term a reduction in lean mass would lead to a reduction in RMR and thus reduce future fat loss). *Utter showed that the addition of 45 minutes of aerobic exercise at 78% MHR 5 days a week for 12 weeks had NO EFFECT over dieting alone. *Van Dale showed that the addition of 4 hours of aerobic exercise per week had no effect on weight loss. *Gleim showed that “(Aerobic) Exercise is not an effective weight loss modality in women.”

Содержание слайда: More Advanced Movement Intervals vs. Cardio Debate Trapp EG and Boutcher examined the effects of three bouts per week of HIIE on fat loss among sedentary young women. Mean change for the HIIE group -1.51 ± 3.6 kg fat ; -2.5 ± 2.6 %body fat Mean change for the SS group -0.1 ± 2.3 kg fat ; -0.4 ± 2.1 %body fat Conclusions: Twenty minute of HIIE, three times a week for 15 weeks led to significantly greater fat loss compared to steady state exercise.

Содержание слайда: More Advanced Movement The Problem With Cardio Williams PT, Wood PD discovered that men & women who logged the same weekly mileage year after year—regardless of the amount—gained weight. Even those who ran more than 40 miles a week were susceptible. "Your metabolism slows a little more every year, so you need to increase activity levels as you age," says study author Paul T. Williams, Ph.D. "Yet most people do the opposite." Clearly the effects of aerobic exercise do little to offset this reduction in metabolism. And additional research also suggests that regular running improves your body's exercise efficiency, meaning the same amount of activity burns fewer calories. The researchers concluded that to avoid weight gain, male runners need to boost their weekly mileage by 1.7 miles every year, or approximately 88.4 miles per year, every year, with female runners having to boost their mileage by 2.4 miles per week or 125 miles per year, every year.

Содержание слайда: More Advanced Movement Do no cardio? Absolutely not! Cardio is an effective calorie burning modality – but not to be done alone and not to be done as one’s only exercise. However, when included in a program that focuses on proper eating, smart muscle-building weight training, and fat burning intervals, cardio can help: 1) Top up G-Flux 2) Improve recovery of CNS

Содержание слайда: More Advanced Movement 1) Build the muscle needed to speed up metabolism -Strength and muscle-building training 2) Create the muscle damage needed to speed up metabolism -Strength and muscle-building training 3) Maximize the post workout after burn -Substrate depletion training (intervals) and muscle-damage training 4) Encourage your body to waste calories through regular program change -Vary your program and use regular progression indices 5) Boost the number of calories you burn through movement -Top off your G-flux with other exercise

Содержание слайда: More Advanced Movement Strength Training Suggestions Use strength training for building muscle and strength – not for “cardio”, “intervals”, or “weight loss.” Guidelines *2-5 sessions per week of about 1h in duration *Begin with dynamic warm-up *Strive for anterior/posterior; internal/external, flexion/extension balance in ex. selection unless massive imbalance exists *Rep range <8 unless it’s a warm-up or exerciser is a beginner *Explosive concentric (tension), controlled eccentric (damage) *Everything else is preference, fine-tuning, and individualization

Содержание слайда: More Advanced Movement Interval Training Suggestions Use interval training for high intensity calorie burning work. Guidelines *1-3 sessions per week *Bodybuilders, to maximize muscle fullness, should minimize *Begin with 20 minutes and work up to max of 45 *Mix modalities and work: rest intervals *Suggested work: rest – 30on-90off; 60on-120off; 90on-90off *Make sure “on” intervals are done at VERY HIGH intensity *Make sure “off” intervals are done at VERY LOW intensity *Select a work intensity that allows consistent effort thru full workout; therefore first few sets should be less than max

Содержание слайда: More Advanced Movement

Содержание слайда: More Advanced Movement Cardio Training Suggestions Use cardio training to top-off G-flux and to promote CNS recovery Guidelines *1-3 sessions per week *Done at moderate intensity (60-70% HR Max) *More than 30 minutes is best *Steady state is good but all forms of “play” are acceptable *Have fun with this as it doesn’t have to be done at a gym

Содержание слайда: More Advanced Movement Exercise Scheduling Daily exercise (or as close to it as possible) is likely best vs. lots of exercise done on 3-4 days. Try to alternate high intensity and low intensity/rest days if possible. However, when scheduling your program, just get all the exercise done. If you have to miss Monday, do that workout on Tuesday.

May require regular CNS recovery supplementation Feeding: Usually under eat during ad-libitum conditions and require force-feeding until they adapt to new, higher intake. Should eat carbs throughout the day (low GI if possible) – although highest carb meals (high GI) should come during/post-exercise. Do best on higher calorie and carbohydrate intakes (25%P; 55%C; 20%F)

Содержание слайда: Body Type Individualization Mesomorph Notes Feeding: Usually don’t need to count calories as they respond fairly well to ad libitum eating conditions. Do well to ingest low GI breakfast carbs along with higher carb (high GI) workout and post-exercise meals. Fewer carbs during the rest of the day. Do best on a mixed nutritional intake (30%P; 40%C; 30%F)

Содержание слайда: Body Type Individualization Endomorphic Exercise: Require higher exercise volume than other types Feeding: Don’t always over eat relative to energy expenditure but do have poor nutrient partitioning. Limit carbs to during exercise (if at all) and maybe some low GI, high fiber carbs within 1-2 hours post exercise. The rest of the carbs should come from veggies w/ small amount of fruit. (35%P; 25%C; 40%F)

Содержание слайда: G-Flux – What Is It? What is G-Flux? Definition: G-Flux is the 1complex & 2interdependent relationship between the energy that flows into & the energy that flows out of the body. Intake = Expenditure  Weight ?? Intake > Expenditure  Weight ?? Intake < Expenditure  Weight ??

Содержание слайда: G-Flux Science *Goran et al study 10 day energy balance (at 2200kcal) | 3 days off | 10 day treatment period (conditions below) Treatment conditions: Low flux - no change in energy intake or physical activity (balance at 2200kcal) High flux - increased energy intake and expenditure (+50%; balance at 3300kcal) Positive energy balance (3300kcal in, 2200kcal out) Negative energy balance (2200kcal in, 3300kcal out)

Содержание слайда: G-Flux - Athletes to Exercisers Not one of these athletes has to restrict energy intake! They train hard, eat the right things in the right amounts at the right times, and their body comp falls into line with their exercise. This is G-Flux firing on all cylinders. Recreational exercisers need to take this lesson – by increasing exercise activity, G-Flux increases. They can then EAT MORE and in doing so, health, body comp, and performance come into line.

Содержание слайда: G-Flux and High Volume Training Why aren’t these individuals all overtrained? With the right mixture of activities and the right nutritional intake, not only will overtraining be a non-issue, you will improve far faster than you thought possible. Tools to assess recovery/training status: 1) Simple objective markers 2) Simple subjective markers 3) POMS

Содержание слайда: POMS and Recovery

Содержание слайда: Recovery Assessment

Содержание слайда: G-Flux and High Volume Training List the reasons why increased training volume, increased 24 hour energy expenditure, and increased food intake will lead to improvements in body comp and training. -Increased nutrient intake (vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals) -Increased nutrient partitioning (muscle vs. fat storage) -Increased tissue turnover and adaptation (breakdown/rebuild) -Increased ability to work (increased density/super training effect)

Содержание слайда: G-Flux Highlights What’s the point? RMR accounts for ??? of your total daily energy expenditure? High amounts of G-Flux can increase RMR (some think through the increase in SNS activity and catecholamine concentrations) and 24 hour non-exercise energy expenditure. These changes can lead to decreased fat mass and increased lean body mass – even at energy balance. Plus, it’s hard to get to a state of positive energy balance. Why is this a good thing? Besides decreased fat mass, what else is an elevated metabolic rate good for?

Содержание слайда: G-Flux On Both Sides G-Flux - both ends of the energy balance equation High intake = eating alot (the right amount, type, timing) High expenditure = Any combination of the following: High weekly exercise volume (properly balanced) Genetically high metabolic rate (it’s a gift, folks – send M&D flowers) Genetically scalable metabolic rate (another gift) Increased muscle mass (remember 5:1 rule) Nutritional strategies (calorie costly foods, increased partitioning) Supplements (ephedrine, coleus, green tea extract, fish oil, etc) Drugs (thyroid hormones, clenbuterol, DNP, etc.) Again, explaining how different people get the same result while seemingly doing different things…

Содержание слайда: G-Flux Take-Home Perspective: This is what some people hear… Blah, blah, blah… Eat more to lose weight… What is the common theme with successful body comp programs? To take advantage of G-Flux there are 2 steps: 1) Exercise more 2) Eat more

Содержание слайда: Body Weight Regulation Perspective Questions: What’s the net result of all this regulation? Why is all this happening? A good thing that the body regulates so well? When isn’t it a good thing? Application Question: When does this high level of regulation become problematic? Body is at an undesirable weight/composition Trying to change your body and it outsmarts your efforts Regulation stops occurring

Содержание слайда: Overcoming Regulation How to change your body if regulating well? (lots of talk between intake and expenditure) Option 1: The blunt object approach You can outeat your metabolism for weight gain You can undereat your metabolism for weight loss Eventually you’ll gain or lose…problems? Option 2: The G-Flux approach Boost G-Flux to boost metabolism, LBM, and decrease FM Option 3: Uncoupling protocols Strategies to prevent expenditure from downregulating too quickly or up regulating too quickly with dietary changes Strategies change the ratio of BF to LBM gains or losses

Содержание слайда: Simple Body Composition Perspective Question: So how do you get a great body without trying to control all of these variables, count every calorie absorbed, approximate metabolic shifts, attempt to figure out how well you regulate, etc?
