The Testosterone Daily Dose Podcast   /     Testosterone Podcast Episode 10 Part 2: How You Body Adapts To Changing Hormones

In this episode of The Testosterone Daily Dose Podcast Chris Ali and Ian discuss how the body changes over time to adapt to different types of exercise.  The guys discuss why certain types of training are more appropriate for the male physique from a genetic point of view.  Chris discusses how certain muscle groups that are associated with the “Perfect Male Physique” actually respond better to resistance training in male test subjects.  Ian also brings up an article that discusses how sprint speed is related to the appearance of the physique complying with the golden ratio.

The guys also discuss why it is not good to focus on tactics over principles.  Chris discusses how sticking to a specific protocol or group of tactics will limit your progress.  Ali brings up some of the arguments he has seen from strict Paleo adherents claiming that nearly anything is Paleo.  Ali gives an example of a time when he believed that sugar was absolutely bad and how his understanding of nutrition has changed over time.  Finally the guys talk about future blog topics and Ian reminds everyone to check out the AnabolicMen survey.
