Corporate Warrior: High Intensity Training And Hit Business

Drew Baye is one of the top high intensity training experts around today. He is the founder and owner of Baye.com, the most popular high intensity training website online. He’s a prolific writer, researcher, and elite level personal trainer. To listen to my previous episode with Drew Baye, go here: Part 1 and Part 2. In The 4-Hour Body, the author, Tim Ferriss featured Drew to demonstrate how it’s possible to get to 3-4% body fat with no “cardio”. I recently moved to Galway, Ireland, and have no access to fancy MedX and Nautilus machines (not until I build my own gym! Muhaha!). I decided to continue my high intensity body weight training using Drew Baye's Project Kratos, which is an excellent eBook on how to use just body weight training to maximise strength, muscle mass and overall health. In this episode, Drew answers my questions about Project Kratos and body weight high intensity training in general. Drew kicks off by explaining the principles of high intensity training that apply to any workout protocol.

Dr Andy Galpin (Instagram and Twitter) has a degree in exercise science, a masters in Human Movement Sciences and a PhD in Human Bioenergetics (studying the structure and function of human skeletal muscle at the single cell level), This also resulted in the opening of the Biochemistry and Molecular Exercise Physiology Laboratory (BMEP) at CSU Fullerton. The BMEP lab studies the acute responses and chronic adaptations of human skeletal muscle in response to high force, velocity, power and fatiguing exercise from the whole body, down to the individual muscle fiber and even into the individual DNA. The team does this by taking muscle biopsies from non-athletes and elite athletes from different backgrounds (e.g. normal college student, MMA fighter, Boxer, Weightlifter, etc.) and use highly sophisticated laboratory techniques and equipment to address questions about single fiber "type", size, function, protein quantity, diameter, mitochondria, and myonuclear function.

This episode is a little bit of an experiment. My guest is Richard Chartrand. Richard is not a trainer and he does not own a big health and fitness business. He is student of HIT and has been a HIT proponent for 35 years. Richard was featured in Holiday Thanks, a popular article written by Dr Doug McGuff in 2009, which explains how Richard may have single handedly revitalised the HIT movement with his amazing physical transformation following cardiac surgery. Richard documented his transformation on drdarden.com under My Progress after Cardiac Surgery. Some of you have been asking for an interview with a trainee for some time. Richard shares what he has learnt in his pursuit of optimal health and fitness, and I think many of you will find this very interesting and useful.
