It’s time for more Q&A!

Thank you so much to everyone for writing in—we have a ton of really interesting comments and questions that I can’t wait to work through in today’s episode. I really appreciate all your questions and contributions to this community (if you want to join in, email podcast@bradventures.com), and we thoughtfully read, consider, and answer every single email that comes in. 

In today’s show, we start with a question from listener Brian who wants to see more examples of a “common man” day—what about people who have to get up at 5am and have a desk job? What kind of workouts and lifestyle recommendations do I suggest to those who have to get up at “unnatural” times of the day and have certain lifestyle restrictions based on their circumstances? I also answer questions about optimizing protein intake, tips for keeping your healthy diet affordable, the foods that you can get non-organic when you’re on a budget, the importance of sleep and how sleep deprivation makes everything take 20% longer, how to ensure proper recovery in sprinting, my thoughts on a recent Instagram post from Dr. Andrew Huberman, and more!



TIMESTAMPS:

Brian Fitzsimmons is asking Brad to suggest dealing with circadian rhythms and workouts for people whose daily life doesn’t allow for optimal scheduling. [01:02]

Ray wants to know if he sprints for 10 to 20 seconds, how many times should he do it, and how much should he rest? You should do 4 to 8 sprints of 10 to 20 seconds with a 6 to 1 recovery. [10:58]

Scottsdale Wellness Center is asking about the myth about the notion of too much protein. [13:09]

Mark Miller from Melbourne is asking about the  Zone Two or MAF fitness trend of slowing down. [17:49]

When talking about high intensity training, realize it is not for the novice. [22:58] 

What is the recommended period of luxurious rest intervals when sprinting? The faster you run, the more recovery you need. [32:40]

Mark is asking about the recommendation to engage in some form of resistance training. [36:49]

Brad talks about the dangers of road cycling. [47:07]
