Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!
In today’s episode, I have Dr Mike T Nelson with me to talk about Progressive Overload for Cardio, High VS Low Carbs, Human Dynamic Range and more. Dr Mike has years of experience in the fitness industry, is known for his work in HRV and physiologic flexibility, holds certifications in metabolic flexibility and cardio for meatheads, and hosts the Flex Diet Podcast where he interviews top experts in performance physiology.
We break down how to apply progressive overload to cardio the same way you would to weight training, why VO2 max impacts hypertrophy more than most people realize, and what the new carbohydrate research actually means. We also talk about metabolic flexibility, fasting strategies, and how stress and recovery determine how well you use carbs. Dr. Mike explains his concept of “human dynamic range” and why the ability to shift gears quickly matters for both performance and health.
If you want to build muscle, improve conditioning, and understand how carbs, fasting, and recovery actually fit together, this one’s for you!
