The most comprehensive explanation of what is happening in menopause that I’ve ever heard in a podcast. Thank you. I have a much better understanding of what is happening in my body and strategies to mitigate the unwelcome changes.
Fantastic info! Really interesting to cover & devour the info in this one episode. Keep the menopausal info with weight training info coming. We are a large population who are listening 👂👍
Thank for this. It probably should be emphasized that "eat more protein" is not going to do any good without exercise. I keep seeing people drinking protein shakes as if they believe it's going to automagically become muscle.
Wow ! So grateful for the two of you for bringing this to light. I was laughing when she said not wanting to workout was not sufficient to skip a training day. I learned early on that motivation was far less important than consistency and consistency come from discipline. Cheers !
I have done hard cardio for most of my life, especially in my 40's. I had not been aware of any menopausal symptoms except for when I started noticing my skin changing at age 50. I asked my gynecologist to test my hormones and she was floored to get the results that I was actually post menapausal. I had my suspicions that the lack of symptoms was possibly due to my frequent physical activity..It's validating to hear that she feels that this is a possibility too.
Very interesting and scientifically grounded. I really appreciate the strategies presented by such a knowledgeable scientist, especially about sex differences and risk of underwriting with respect to intensity. The psycho social aspect of trusting ourselves and how proximity to failure feels and how important it is from a hypertrophy point of view. Thank you for providing this valuable insight.
I think there was a lot of valuable information packed into the conversation. I think she talked a lot about the same thing for a little too long so I found myself fast forwarding at times because she repeated herself and stayed stuck on certain subjects. Aside from that it was a good conversation.
I found the whole two episodes extremely helpful and I’ve started to apply the ‘experimenting with failure’ or ‘reaching failure’ in my resistance training sessions and have reached multiple PBs now. Thanks!!
How about forms of strength excercise other than RT for women? Can you talk for example about Pilates sometime? Maybe we wouldn't grow mega muscles with it, but its's pretty darn strengthening without causing major injuries? I came hopeful to these episdoes but learnt close to nothing, since I don't want to do heavy weighlifitng, not believing it's really anatomically best for women.
Same here, running is my thing and I do strength training also but I just am not convinced how lifting super heavy weights is beneficial in any productive way aside from looks.
Another incredible interview! I’ve always been into resistance training, but loathe cardio, unlike other women my age (50s). I’ll have to up my game whether I like it or not, though.
I wonder always this... When I do high intensity to max my HR, I can only run as modality. Like bike will make my leg muscle first give out before heart rate max. Does this mean my muscle endurance is weaker? There are HIIT for muscle endurance and HIIT for cardiorespiratiry?
This is not uncommon. You probably lack the strength and endurance in your quads. So that’s the limiting factor as opposed to your heart. For you, a modality like running will be better for your heart. Have you tried rowing?
@@TheProofWithSimonHill Thank you! Yes. Rowing is the similar. I try to do both Norwegian 4x4 type and short sprint (10-15 sec). Keep building strength.. 😊
I didn’t learn a lot new things but I’m more confident doing the right things though.That made me super happy. Something really distracting was the finger nail thing. Alyssa rattles her nails on the table throughout the conversation. I listened to the episode and that sound annoyed me.
Some good information, such as assessing a good lifting session. Overall, however, I'm hearing the youthful exuberance of 'do everything' because you're not exercising or not exercising correctly. Women have been told this forever (in all things)!! Ugh. Work on removing the noise and focus on the priorities for the "gen pop." Stacy Sims is a model for you, not your competitor. You can say, "we need more research" without disrespecting those who broke ground.

"Automagically." 😅😂 Good point!
I’m stealing “automagically”…brilliant🤣🤣!!
What an opener 😂 Thank you so much for this video! Been waiting for this part 2!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent, I am so grateful to finally hear some info on balancing zone 2, and SIT/HIT. Thank you.

Great podcast! Thanks for sharing all this knowledge. Applying it today!

Really good podcast!!

So what is the ideal recovery time between sets? I wasn’t sure if you were saying2-5 minutes or 90 seconds -2 minutes ? Great show!!

I asked last time and did not hear back. When Alyssa is references grams of carbs is it net or total carbs. Thanks so much!

I feel like she says the same thing over and over. A bit repetitive on her end.
