Fitness Toolkit: Protocol & Tools to Optimize Physical Health | Huberman Lab Podcast #94
Ғылым және технология
I describe a fitness protocol that maximizes all the major sought-after aspects of physical fitness, including strength, endurance and flexibility. I discuss fundamentals of resistance training protocols, including repetitions, sets, inter-set and inter-workout rest periods and periodization of intensity and volume to improve strength and hypertrophy. I also explain how to integrate this with endurance training across the week by controlling the duration, timing and intensity of cardiovascular workouts. I also cover science-based protocols on leveraging the mind-body connection, deliberate breathing (during and after exercise), stretching, deliberate heat and cold exposure, and non-sleep deep rest (NSDR) for better workout performance and faster recovery. Further, I tackle a range of real-world issues that can affect a consistent training schedule, such as whether you should train if you are sick, have had a poor night of sleep or had a stressful event and how to start training again after a break and whether you should train in a fasted or fed state. Physical fitness is a key variable for immediate and long-term health. This episode provides a modifiable “foundational” template that can be adjusted based on your current fitness level, goals, time constraints, and access to different types of equipment.

Here are my notes on the protocol: Sunday: Long endurance workout Hiking, running, Zone 2 cardio for 60-75 minutes, maybe hiking for three hours or so Monday: Leg Resistance Training for Strength and Hypertrophy 10 minutes of warming up 50 minutes of actual work, really hard work Not any longer, since past this point you get increases in cortisol that impede development. Choose a specific muscle group like calves or quadriceps. For each muscle group, try to get that muscle group into a weighted stretch position. For example, a standing calf raise, down at the bottom it’s weighted, plus another exercise where you’re getting the contraction in the shortened position of the muscle. For example, for hamstrings this could be the leg curl, for quadriceps it’s the leg extension machine. Look up specific exercises. Examples: Quadriceps → Leg extensions + hack squats. Hamstrings → Leg curls + glute ham-raises Calves → Standing and seated calf raises Tuesday: Rest Day (heat and cold exposure) Sauna to ice bath. 15-20 minutes in the sauna, then 5 minutes of cold. 3 to 5 rounds of this. Causes 16x growth hormone Wednesday: Torso Day Strengthens muscles of torso, shoulders, and back. Train your neck too. Bench press, incline press, shoulder press, lateral raise Bent over rows, chin-ups, pull-ups, cable crossovers. Push-pull method, go from bench press to chin-ups or similar Don’t do neck bridges because you can slip a disc Thursday: Mild Cardio Run for 30-35 minutes (you could also row for 30-35 minutes) If stuck in a room, dod jumping jacks or something similar Try to breathe only through your nose Friday: High Intensity Cardio Bike really intensely, max out your heart rate 20-30 seconds of full sprint on the AirDyne bike, then 10 seconds of rest Sprint for 20-30 seconds, jog for 10 Saturday: Arms, Calves, Neck Resistance Training Dips, chin-ups, 45-50 minutes Hope it helps! This is what I'll be using as my workout protocol.

Minor correction and two additions: Thursday is moderate cardio at 75-80% of max effort. Quick relaxation between sets: two inhales through nose: one to full, another to top off, then slow exhale through mouth. 3-5 minutes of slow breathing at end of workout to maximize recovery. Thanks for compiling these notes.

My notes: If having to sit at a desk for long period of time do soleus pushups. This is done by having your feet flat on the floor, lifting the heel to top of range of motion and lowering. This uses your soleus muscle which is designed to handle walking all day. Shown to cause over 50% improvements in glucose management after eating. Fitness types: - skill, - speed, - power(speedxstrength), - strength, - hypertrophy, - endurance - musclular endurance eg stay in plank position - Anaerobic endurance eg sprint for less than 1 minute - 3-12 minute duration range - 30+ minutes endurance Overview Each of these fitness types requires different concepts and exercise types. This will always be based on progressively overloading this system though. To get a balance of all of these (surely minus skill) follow the below protocol. This protocol begins on Sunday as an example. This is flexible to fit in with your life. As long as the days are in the same order it works well. Any day can be shifted one day forward or one day back. You can do two workouts on one day to catch up. After every training session do 3-5 minutes deliberate slow breathing to maximise recovery and hit next session harder. All resistance training: About 10 minutes warming up. Then 50-60 minutes workout including rest between sets time. More than 60 minutes increases cortisone, decreasing recovery time. You want at least one exercise that gets your muscle in a weighted stretch position, and one that you’re getting contraction in the shortened position. Most muscle groups just 2 exercises each is good, 3 per muscle groups maximum. For reps and sets, for alternate months do 4-8 reps, 3-4 sets, 2-4 minute rests between per exercise. For the next month do 8-15 reps, 2-3 sets, 1.5-2 minute rests per exercise. This helps prevent boredom and reduce plateauing. In order to achieve hypertrophy (muscle growth) it’s been found anything between 5- 30 reps is effective. You can choose to focus on lifting the weight while lifting which will benefit overall strength more, or focus on specific muscle you want to grow while lifting will achieve more hypertrophy in that specific muscle. Focus on deep relaxation between sets with the goal being to bring HR down. Do a ‘physiological sigh’ to facilitate this: 1 deep breath in through the nose as much air as you can intake, then another intake through the nose to fully inflate the lungs, then a long slow breath out through the mouth. This is the fastest known way to calm nervous system. Gripping the bar tightly help you lift more. Sunday: Zone 2 cardio, at least 30 minutes, but ideally 60-75 minutes. Being able to nose breath or hold a conversation is a good barometer if you’re in zone 2. Don’t stress too much about staying in it the whole time. The goal of this is to build and maintain your base cardiovascular fitness. You could replace this with a long hike. If doing this with somebody less fit than you you can add weight to increase your effort. As per Peter Attia, you want to get 180-200 minutes per week in zone 2 for longevity. This is the only zone 2 this protocol does though, so I’m unsure where you could fit the rest in (maybe on the ‘rest’ day?). Monday: Leg day. Goal is to build and maintain strength in your legs. As previous day is long and slow your legs shouldn’t be sore for this. This is the only resistance training for legs for the week, but leg strength will be maintained by HIIT workout. Probably the most important resistance workout to do due to the positive hormonal (makes other workouts more effective) and metabolic effects and forms the base for your body. Despite this, legs is often the most often missed as it is hard and people want a big chest etc for aesthetics. During the lighter, higher rep month you’ll notice endurance training being facilitated. Focus on safety. Complex movements like squats, dead lifts etc are riskier if you are not experienced/ trained. You want two exercises per muscle group (quads, hamstrings, quads). - Quads: Hack squats (reduces risk of injury from squats) and quads leg extensions. - Hamstrings: Hamstring curls and Glut ham raises. - Calves: Standing calf raises and seated calf raises Tuesday: Rest/ Recover. As you have just done cardio 2 days ago and legs yesterday, both cardio and resistance work will be difficult and not facilitate recovery. So instead, ideally do Hot/ Cold exposure instead of a workout. Doing all of your hot/ cold exposure on one day is more accessible and has cardiovascular, brain and hormone benefits (16x growth hormone release!). Do not do cold exposure post workouts as negates adaptive processes (cold showers OK). Hot exposure e.g., Sauna for 20 minutes, hot as you can without being dangerous. Then Cold exposure e.g., cold/ice bath 5 minutes, cold as you can without being dangerous. Repeat 3-5 rounds. Going for a walk today will be good too. If you miss doing hot/colds this day you can do it another day, just not 4 hours post workout. Wednesday: Torso (chest, shoulder, back and neck). This protocol brings the pushing and pulling motions onto the same day. This benefits strength, balance, aesthetics, and systemic hormonal and metabolic effects. Huberman did not specify exercises to do (or I missed them in my note taking) but recommended Jeff Cavalier as having good protocols on example exercises to use. Neck is important to train as reduces shoulder issues, correct posture form modern life and protects spinal cord damage in accidents. Need to be careful, do not do ‘neck bridges.’ Thursday: Cardiovascular 35 minute. Running, rowing etc. Jumping jacks or skipping good replacement if not much space. Aim is to elevate HR significantly higher than zone 2 earlier, but not trying to sprint. Start with 10 minute warm up. Then set timer for 35 minutes and go 75-80% of sprint. Don’t stress too much re HR, just push hard for 35 minutes. This taps into multiple fuel systems/ endurance types. Friday: Cardio: HIIT. Fair warning if you haven’t done HIIT before, you will feel like you want to die in this one. Benefits speed, power strength. (I find it a bit contradictory to do this after what he said about not doing cardio on Tuesday. I find a good warm up for both 35 min and HIIT vital to not have fatigued legs for days after this). Acts as a second strength exercise for legs for the week. Focus on safety, the goal is to get the HR way up. If doing complex movements (not on a machine), like sprinting, go at 95% max to maintain good form. Assault bike good option for this, using arms and legs, can go 100%. Build up to this if not already in good cardiovascular health. 20-30 second sprint, 10 second rest or jog, 8-12 rounds. By 5-6 rounds you will feel absolutely terrible. Aim is to feel like you can’t go any faster. Saturday: Arms, calves, neck. This also includes indirect 2nd workout for torso via the arms. Eg dips hit multiple muscles, biceps curls hit lats. This is why there are 3 workouts per arm muscle group, starting with the more complex movements. - Biceps: palms facing you chin ups, incline curl, dumbbell curl. - Triceps: Dips, overhead extension, triceps kickback - Calves: standing calf raises, seated calf raises. - Neck: look up Jeff Cavalier video. Variables: - Sick: If feel you may be getting sick, it’s good to train due to the positive effect on immune system, but reduce effort about 20%. If you are quite sick, skip training, focus on recovery then taper back into full training over a couple of weeks. - Poor sleep: Training may lead to you getting unwell and not training for a few days, so push the training out to the next day. Make it up with a double day at some point to get back on schedule. You may be able to ‘catch up’ some of your sleep with nsdr (youtube for a script). If feeling fresh post nsdr you can train. - Fasted or not: Training fasted is OK. Protein post workout is a good idea. Carbohydrates night before workouts, esp leg workout and HIIT good idea. Flexibility: - Ideally short repeated stretching sessions daily. - Static stretch, focusing on mentally and physically relaxing. Do this by exhaling and relaxing the torso and hands. - Statics stretch, not extending as far as possible, more like 60%, holding 30-60 seconds then repeating.

Thank you for your service! I am a 52 yo man that got sober after a lifetime of alcohol and drug abuse and I was a smoker. Came totally clean December 2020. Completely turned my life around. 2 months ago I started a simple workout routine after reading “Can’t hurt Me” by David Goggins. Your routine is one to aim for. The beautiful thing about the podcast is your choice of topics that are so beneficial to a guy like me. I had already read Dr Anna Lembke’s book, “Dopamine Nation” and consumed dozens of hours listening to Dr Jordan Peterson…and there you all are…top of the elite list of massively influential players driving me to be a better person spiritually, mentally, physically and emotionally.

On my list of youtube videos to watch, The Huberman podcasts instantly get prioritised.
It's incredible that this up-to-date science-backed information on health & fitness is available to us content consumers at no upfront cost. An excellent, easy to understand analysis and summarization of complex research, I will not take this podcast for granted. Thank you Dr. Huberman, your work is an honest service to those trying to better themselves.
Really loved this concept of bringing together multiple learnings from multiple guests/sources in these videos. It's like a compilation and I'm living it!
This advice is so valuable! This guy is an absolute legend for doing this for free and I hope people don't take this advice for granted and really implement everything they can and optimise themselves for the better 👌

Dr. Huberman I want to thank you a lot for this great lecture about overall fitness standards. The practical information will definitely help me to become a fitter version of myself. May your channel grow more and more this year, wish you all the blessings!
This man is just a treat of knowledge. I feel guilty for watching him so much and loving his content. I wish most professors were like him. We would have a different world.
This is really cool. I was born with CP and I don't walk independently, or for long distances even with mobility aids, but I *can* do these soleus push ups. Muscle injury, strain/sprain and early fatigue is a real problem for me, and other disabled folks. This soleus pushup idea is encouraging. Certainly going to try these for a bit.
Happy to intake this subject matter. I ran track, cheerleading and did dance aerobics. I truly enjoy cardio! Trying to incorporate weight training. 💋 You're such a dream Andrew.
Thank you, Dr Huberman. Your channel is a diamond in the sea of noise. I jump between extremes: either, don't do anything, or overtrain. This protocol is going to help me structure my training into something that can turn into a long term habits. So many training programs out there never seem to hit the sweet spot. They either are too difficult, too focused on one aspect of training, or just don't really do anything (if I never see donkey kicks again, I won't be sad). I am working on ramping up fitness for a 2 week hiking expedition across Tanzania and Kilimanjaro. Will use this as a base, incorporate Wim Hoff breathing and obviously build up duration (and elevation) of my hikes closer I get to the expedition date.
Wow! Thank you for this! I have never had a template for fitness period! But to find one that I can adapt to my fitness level is just amazing. It allowed me to move forward. I'm 59 years old, and obviously can't do the same level of workout you can...but I search for beginner leg workout, beginner HIIT. I can find the template exercises at my own level. But what helps me is to have an outline of how to get the whole body fit. I really appreciate this!
I was literally looking into exercise protocols this week and here you are posting a new video about fitness protocol. Absolutely love this channel and your dedication on every Monday with a new episode. Much love to you Andrew

Thanks so much for your podcast Dr Huberman - it's really constructive and helpful and really appreciate all the work you put it to make it freely available.
Just started this. I changed the leg day to a second Torso day and added legs to "neck & arms". Did my first Hot/Cold day yesterday - feels weird and awesome. Did HIIT this morning - I'm floored. Tomorrow: Torso. Looking forward to test this routine for a couple of months. Thanks a lot for that!
You are a genius Dr Andrew Huberman. Grateful once again for this great podcast
Dr. Huberman, first of all, I would like to apologise for any grammatical mistakes in this message, English is not my first language, so please, 🐻 with me... I can't thank you enough for how much you've taught me just in this past year, downright incredible. Your zero cost mentality or "motto" is still unfathomable to me. The level of your rhetoric abilities, your sincerity, along with the quality and delivery of information is absolutely amazing. And you're providing all of that, for free. But my favorite aspect, by (maybe not so) far, are the subtle, intelligent, and (mostly) straight faced jokes, I fu***** love it. Thank you so much, I'll be watching/listening to you for the rest of my life. Wish you all the best and copious amounts of health. Sincerely, David
Excellent podcast like always Andrew, the biggest takeaway from me was the Exercise schedule overall, I would say it’s designed perfectly, I’ve always wanted to exercise and build muscle as well as still improve my cardiovascular health overall, Well done!
hello Andrew, I have started implementing your protocol few weeks ago and I am experiencing amazing results already, in terms of blood analysis indicators, weight loss (mostly fat) and stamina (I feel stronger with and more productive during my working hours). This week I will skip to low reps and more weight lifting, as you suggested. Thank you! 🤩
He has singularly shot my interest in health and fitness ( and I needed it).. True impact. God bless Andrew
Hi Dr. Huberman!🙂 I didn’t do much research to arrive at the clear conclusion that your explanation skills are EXCEPTIONAL. Thank you for being my part time teacher lately and please, stay blessed!😉

Thank you so much you've really helped me alot with your podcasts and helped me correct alot of my bad habits from alcohol to fitness to weed and sleep all have had a positive impact on my life and without someone like you I'd still be uninformed and unmotivated withering away from shift work feeling worse each day but you've helped shine a light on me and I make sure to try and pass that torch to all my friends and family ❤
I enjoy your podcast but I have to admit that the fitness related Conversations are definitely my favorite! I am an older athlete and I've been working out for many years so anything new that I can add to my toolbox to improve my overall fitness is welcome ! Thanks again!
Sprint Coach here, DISCLAIMER if you do not sprint or haven't sprinted in more than several months DO NOT SPRINT! You will pull a hamstring, or glute or tear something. Please take the time to ease into jogging, then running then build up to a full sprint over many weeks. It is also important to have strong hamstrings and good mobility in your hips/hamstrings prior to attempting sprinting. It is the most violent/explosive exercise one can do so save yourself some grief by easing into it over months if you are going to adopt the sprinting part of this protocol.

Good to know.
Excellent "template" for checking so many boxes within 7 days!!! Soo helpful! ALSO!!!!CONGRATULATIONS !! Jeff Cavaliere just named you as his favorite podcast!!! I have to agree. 😊 Also, started A1 and love it! You are right almost more than me, lol. Just kidding. So glad you are not only about ophthalmology and neurology. You are about whole body health and that includes everything neurology, psychological, fitness and practicality. "If that's actually a word". I so appreciate your open and wonderful approach to helping others with practical information. You're a diamond, and not in the rough. Most of us have had to turn our lives around, or maybe just some, but I feel I've taken a similar path and it's so beautiful to see you passion and effort for we regular folks! Can't express it enough. Thank you!❤❤❤❤ Yup, I'm not a bot. Enjoy the passion and the ride! Remember, nothing is permanent. So keep up your greatness!! If nothing else you know you've done yout best. Also, what type of pen do you use?????? I'm getting super fussy about crap pens lately. Much respect.
Thanks for your time and thanks to all involved in producing these. Peace
Again, thank you Dr. Huberman! Your work is a Nobel Prize-worthy.
This man, this channel, has been an incredible source of amazing info for me. Thank you so much
Really wonderfully detailed breakdown of the protocol. Thank you, Dr Huberman. Just to add to the exceptional information here: having followed a lot of work from Andy Galpin and this podcast and other fitness sources I’d add two points that may help some viewers and certainly have helped me. (1) The best fitness protocol is the one you actually can adhere to long term. If a protocol like this is too overwhelming or complex or doesn’t fit with your life constraints-adjust the program to be one you can stick to. (2) Accessibility of exercises helps with adherence. If you have to drive 20 minutes to the gym and you don’t go as often, a workout in your backyard might be easier to do regularly. For this reason bodyweight calisthenics are for many (including myself) an excellent practice for resistance training. In addition, compound bodyweight exercises (in particular pullups, pushups, dips, and squats in variations) are highly functional, engage more muscles, including core, and therefore can be very time efficient. The KZreadr K Boges does a wonderful job explaining some of these benefits and I encourage folks to check out his program as a complementary resource to this protocol.
Happy belated birthday! I’ve really been enjoying your podcasts, sharing them with friends and learning a lot of helpful information 🙏🏽
The soleus pushups are interesting. It sounds a lot like the "fidget" mechanism mentioned in an earlier Metabolism podcast. Loving these podcasts and striving to incorporate as many of these protocols into my routine as I can. Keep it coming!
Thx for the timestamps. So helpful for my ADHD brain. I’m learning so much!
Great episode, thanks for going through a full week. Listening to the science behind the workouts and how the week evolves give far more structure to a workout system than just 2 day splits and some cardio thrown in. Roll on Monday !!
I love your content... I recommend your channel to many of my clients and patients. Thanks for what you do. Keep Moving Forward!!!
This man has slowly yet quickly became one of my biggest role models. I've learned so much and still learning, thanks and salute Andrew, you're needed out here!
I feel like I listen to these episodes just to hear Dr. Huberman say “thank you for your interest in science” 😂 So good !
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and motivation me. I have had severe muscle spasms in my back that would occur at random. It caused me tremendous fear. I've now gone through physiotherapy and am taking medications to help. Your videos have encouraged me to do more. I've made steps in the right direction and just completed my first workout in over three years. Thank you.
Another great episode, thank you so much! I follow a crossfit training program and a lot of these protocol are incorporated, its so great to see the science behind the methodology. Love listening while training from my home gym
It would be awesome if you could make an episode recapping a lot of different supplements you have mentioned, and maybe even tools. I often find myself trying to find which episode I heard you mention a supplement and tools. Just a thought. Thanks for everything you do for us. and thanks for supporting our interest in science. PS. Please get more shirts in stock. I really want to buy the HL one : )
Time for our weekly Lecture, Thank Andew for making mondays the most interesting days
Many thanks for everything Andrew! You are such a blessing! I've yet to watch this episode tho wanted to communicate that I was able to watch your intro without my anxiety getting triggered by that syringe which is huge for me! Most health, peace, love and happiness to each and every being! One Love! Always forward, never ever backward!! ☀️☀️☀️ 💚💛❤️ 🙏🏿🙏🙏🏼
Hello Andrew. I'd first like to say thankyou for the continuous, high quality information provided for free so that all people may benefit from truly life changing scientific information. I have been watching for some time now and feel compelled to comment as a very small gesture of thanks. You have changed mine, and as I'm sure, 100's of thousands of people's lives, including the way people think, feel and act. So for that I give my sincere thanks. Also, I know you have mentioned for some time that you will be releasing a podcast in regards to ketosis, ketones and ketogenic diets and more of the such. I'm sure this type of podcast would be very well received from many people including myself.

A neurobiologist talking about his ideas on complete body health...exactly what a very young, mild epileptic needs to hear to help understand everyday physical health, and limits. Always looking forward to a majority of your uploads.
Suuuuper proud of myself and all of you!!!! Thank you Sydney!!!! ❤
Thank you once again for an informative, easy to follow explanation of this comprehensive protocol! Most of the exercise content I’ve seen so far from your show comes from the perspective of someone already in good physical fitness who has a regular training protocol. I would love to see an explanation of what’s most important to focus on for someone at the “beginner” level. I was laid up due to chronic illness for several years and am starting at square one, and I’m having issues not being able to progress due to injury as I think I’ve been a bit gung ho getting back into it (currently nursing quad tendinitis). Something from a beginner perspective, or how to deal with longer-term injury, could be really helpful for someone like me! Also my theory on “no neck”: when the neck is close to the same circumference as the head, it all looks like one big shape
I'm not sure if it's just the topic being more fun for him than most, but doc is throwing jokes and smiles left and right today lol. Very informative as usual. Appreciate the content.
Hello Dr Huberman. Many thanks again. My 12 year old son and I are your fans from Belgium. Can you do a podcast on yoga. It s mental health and physical health benefits. Science that supports it. Thanks.
Great info as I just stated lifiting about 2 yrs ago after losing 80lbs in 2020...by the way in my 60's. Never felt so strong and awesome. Thank you Andrew.

Thank you so much Dr Huberman. This is absolute gold. 🙏
the growth this channel has seen in the past couple months is insane
I've been listening since this podcast has first started and I've loved listening every week, really fascinating stuff xD
Always looking for perfect all round fitness program. This is a gem for me. Thank you a lot.
Thanks for this Andrew, and for all the hard work. Could there be a part 2 of this 'optimal protocol', focusing on some possible modification in protocols or addition of new ones for female physiology? Perhaps keeping in mind female hormone cycle and how to leverage from different phases for better training? I'd really love for you to make content focusing on female physiology in particular. As I heard from Dr. Peter Attia's episode, where he made some strong statements on the lack of enough research on female health and as general public, we're not very informed about hormone regulation and leveraging it for our benefit. I hope this gets your attention. Thank you for initiating interest in science!
Awesome episode :) to extend on stretching (pun intended); I have done a few exercises with yogabody. Lucas has some really cool insight on why to stretch, when, for how long, and often. Maybe you can talk with him some day? He also seems like a down to earth science based guy.
Brilliant resource. Perfectly presented. I’m very grateful. Thank you
You're the best Dr. Huberman! Thank you so much for your channel. This has to be the best science channel in existence. I've learned more useful things bingewatching your channel in a few months than I did the entire time I was in high school!
I really appreciate your work Dr. Huberman. Big fan🙌
THANK YOU, for taking the time to do these wonderful videos. 🔥🤩 your the best !
I'm sorry Dr. Huberman but, whether you like it or not, you are a bro. One of a different breed, but definitely a bro. Thank you very much for the huge amount of quality information !

C*mon guys, can we get some likes here! ↑ Hi is deffo a BRO! I have been devouring his lectures like crazy! Now only if my memory could keep up the pace -> THIS IS SURREAL- as im typing this, i just noticed that couple of rows up, there is 2hour video on "Understand & Improve Memory Using Science-Based Tools" :)
What a treat! Thank you Dr. Huberman. “Flexibility” topic came up pretty late in the game. Overall great to see/hear the broad coverage. Made me realize I don’t have enough cardio in my current protocol
As I'm inundated with actionable knowledge, I'm reminded of a quote by Russell M. Nelson (heart surgeon) "Education is the difference between wishing you could help others and being able to help them." As an educator, I was delighted to find this treasure trove of insights into neuroplasticity & exercise science that I can share with my students. As an aspiring polyglot, the Neuroplasticity Super Protocol is a catalyst. As an aging athlete, survivalist, & father, the glaborous cooling protocols are revitalizing my training while helping me inspire my kids to keep looking for ways to break through plateaus & neurotypical thinking as they experiment & study to develop deeper understanding of what some would call mysteries. As a biology & physiology nerd for decades, I've no idea how your work here eluded me until recently when a friend suggested it; it has been a real game changer, thank you, Dr. Huberman 🤙
I'm 53 and I have been consistently weight training for over 30 years. One thing I have learned the hard way is that weight machines are awful for your joints, specifically the knees. I used to train my legs using an incline leg press and single-knee squats using a Smith machine. Starting in my late 30s/early 40s, my knees started to fail. It got to the point where I could not use stairs without wincing in pain. I thought I would need to get my knees replaced. By necessity, I had to stop and switch to free squats with a barbell. Not only did I see better results in terms of strength and conditioning, my knee pain has pretty much disappeared. My theory is that machines force the body to follow a single, unnatural plane of movement, whereas free squats are not linear and adapt to micro-balancing movements that coordinate the back and legs in a natural way.
Thanks a lot for yet another incredible episode! I wonder if there are / should be any changes to such a protocol for women that would take into account hormonal, physical and maybe motivational differences?
Great content! Thank you, prof Huberman 🙏 ~from Brazil!
This is such a great and practical quality video. Thank you for making them. Thanks to your videos we adopted certain changes in our daily regime and got really cool improvements
This is fascinating. The first part about the soleus pushups reminded me of other research that talk about the benefits of fidgeting. Great stuff; thanks for sharing!
Timing couldn't be better as I'm looking to expand in to different types of training and figuring out a way to optimally incorporate it all. Thank you Mr Huberman.
Fantastic podcast! Thank you for this foundational approach to fitness. Always a pleasure!
Thanks Dr. Huberman for this wonderful episode, really helps set the right foundation for lifelong fitness! One request for subsequent episode - Please throw some light on common supplements used in endurance / resistance training like whey protein, BCAA , creatin and the likes and pros and cons of same if any.
1:34:38 "But then as you move into the weight training set, you really want to ratchet up your focus and attention to the muscles that you're going to be using." How do you do this after you've done the physiological Sighs in between sets?
