Episode 335: Grip, Guts & Gas Tanks: Aerobic Training for Meatheads with Levi Earl

Flex Diet Podcast - A podcast by Dr. Mike T Nelson

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I’m joined by the always-interesting Levi Earl, who's tuning in all the way from Finland, to nerd out on all things aerobic training, grip strength, and how to make your meathead conditioning actually work for you, not against you. We dive into why strength athletes need better aerobic systems (no, it’s not just for skinny endurance types), how mountain training builds freakish capacity, and why grip training is way more than just farmer’s carries until your soul leaves your body. We also delve into sport-specific gems, such as what wrestlers, hockey players, and other power athletes can glean from these methods to enhance their performance without tiring out. Whether you’re a high-level athlete or want to stop sucking wind between sets, you’ll walk away with some highly usable intel. Give it a listen—grab your notebook, and consider bringing a pulse oximeter if you're feeling particularly curious.
