This week our guest is Strength Coach and H.I.T. entrepreneur Carl Johnson. Carl attended Brigham Young University and completed a degree in Exercise Science. He became a certified tennis teaching pro and a Certified Health Fitness Specialist through the American College of Sports Medicine. While at BYU he had the opportunity to complete a tennis coaching internship to enhance both his coaching and playing skills. In his professional life he worked as a healthcare manager/hospital administrator in the United States Air Force for 20 years. He left that position to pursue his interests in health and wellness, but due to some unforeseen health issues was out of commission for awhile. Carl worked his way back to health, lost 100 lbs, and decided to focus his passion and energy on helping others become their best versions of themselves.

Nutrition. Is there anything out there that is more confusing? High carbs, low carbs, good fats, bad fats, don’t eat at night, don’t eat anything but fruit until noon…It’s enough to make you scream. How can we possibly decipher all the nutritional mumbo-jumbo that is thrown around every day? Each time you turn around there is a new diet telling you what to eat and what to avoid. Well, take a deep breath and let’s see if we can make some sense out of all this confusion. By the time your done reading, you’ll have at least a basic set of ideas that should work for you. It still won’t be easy. We have been coaching people for over thirty years and we call nutrition, the ultimate discipline.

#91: 10 Things You MUST KNOW About Nutrition And Weight Control!

Join the TNT crew as we discuss 10 Things we know about strength training, a.k.a. what we've learned after years and years of experience. When science looks at various strength training techniques, muscle protein synthesis, frequency of training, and the like, these are the conclusions, and they form our base of knowledge as it relates to resistance training.   Many of these recommendations may seem at odds with common training methods (the kind that you hear from a trainer or gym bro). Listen closely, and more importantly, apply what you've learned. You're likely to be pleasantly surprised.

#90: 10 Things You MUST KNOW About Strength Training!

This week we are joined by Michael Petrella, Mike Perilli, and Mike Marzanek, as they discuss in detail their attempts to recreate the legendary Colorado Experiment. The Colorado Experiment was a bodybuilding experiment featuring Casey Viator and run by Arthur Jones using Nautilus equipment at Colorado State University in May, 1973. The first subject, Casey Viator gained as much as 63 pounds of muscle in 28 days and the second, Arthur Jones, gained 15 pounds in 22 days. It is of interest due to its claims that incredible results can be achieved with a small number of sessions (only 14 workouts) and using single sets of high intensity repetitions to momentary muscle failure focusing primarily on negative or lowering multi-joint exercises.

Dr. Oswari says, “I am sick of seeing sick people who are following the traditional recommendations that are not working for this country. My passion is now to make the world healthier one person at a time.”

In this episode we are joined by Iliana Stoilova, co-founder of X-Force Body in south Tampa, Florida. We learn why X-Force is scientifically proven to be one of the fastest, most efficient, fat loss and muscle gain programs in the world. We discuss the unique X-Force Body machines and their patented “tilting” weight stack which allows for a 40% heavier resistance on the “negative” or lowering part of the exercise. Learn how heavier negative resistance greatly increases the intensity of muscle exertion during each repetition, which translates into significant strength gains and fat loss in less time!

This week our guest is Brian Murray, M.Ed. - Exercise Physiologist - Director of Clinical Research for ViiV Fitness. Join us as we discuss how a motionless total-body maximum intensity strength training workout stimulates new muscle and bone growth and can be completed in under 5 minutes. With a motionless protocol, you can stimulate strength and size increases that are at least equal to those obtainable with full-range training, and since muscle building is the goal, if it can occur with the least amount of wear and tear possible, this is a desirable option. “Motionless Strength Training is where everyone is going, they just don’t know it yet."
