MYTH BUSTING QUOTES:
'Ask it to change and then be diligent about what you're asking it to do. In this context we call this progressive overload.'
'It is absolutely not required to train that hard to maintain progress.'
'Our body functions best when it's pushed to adapt, [...] the optimal state is adaptation.'
'It doesn't actually matter how much you lifted or what speed you achieved, but the intent to go as fast as possible will lead to greater adaptations than lack of intent.'
'You store your carbohydrates in the muscle tissue. You don't store much fat in the actual muscle tissue.'
'We lose a very minimal amount of fat through our urine, some through our feces, [...] the overall majority is coming out of your breath.'
'I can be burning more fat, but that doesn't mean that I'm losing more fat.'
'At all times you are actually going through protein synthesis, so you're making new proteins right now.'

He’s just interviewing for his own personal interests rather than what the viewers are interested in. Just stuck on one topic rather than letting the guest freely speak so we can learn.
@jillb9220 Says:
Interviewer isn’t that good. He’s all over the place with his questions. And yes you’ve been working out all wrong. Working out feels great, both during and especially after.

An hour in I feel like a genius 🧬
@thomasowens5824 Says:
Hilarious, skinny looking people giving opinions how to build muscle.
@yulialazareva5633 Says:
When he said that he is 27 I surprised
He looks 40-45😮
@christymullen5434 Says:
I like your long videos, your content is great, thank you.
@2uneek Says:
working out has become addicting. The pump feels amazing.
@chrissie.0864 Says:
The table is the wrong height for those chairs (or wrong chairs for that table) ? - Andy looks like he is going to disappear under the table 😢
@Nurse4Life255 Says:
How many reps are in a “set”???
@ГригорийПокрас Says:
This is one of the best and most informative episodes of Tom's podcast in my opinion.
@JeremySlat Says:
Wow!! Thank you!!
@davidwells6525 Says:
I don't think the science is so clear on optimizing muscle growth or optimal energy sources when talking about diet... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0TcbQfIVrI
@johnepyttesr8947 Says:
He's a pain in the neck. You eat sugar. It makes you fat. He won't admit it.
@randomactivitiesco.5848 Says:
Tim needs to realize Jackman was only that jacked for a matter of days, long enough to make the shoot. He was at a very, very unhealthy body fat level, and the rest was CGI. It would be like comparing yourself to a body builder on show day. They are almost dead. Most people with muscles look a little bulky and maybe have shoulders. They only look great for a few weeks a year for a show. Chill.

Way too many ads
@Mmmmchocolate Says:
This obsession with looking good like Arnold is ridiculous. It’s not healthy! And not knocking anabolics, which are unhealthy, that’s not right. Young minds are susceptible to this bunk, you should discourage its use, period.
@Mmmmchocolate Says:
People need to stop obsessing over the appearance of the size of their muscles. Where did this silly notion come from? It’s not important.

Any comments on EAA. have been taking them in H2O. No food cravings. Condominium Strength and Csrdio training and have appetite of a teenager focus on protein and balanced diet. EAA? 🏋🏻🏋♂️
@realMartinHamilton Says:
Another good one Tommy! Thanks again.
@SatariOracle2023 Says:
Progressive overloading a high protein diet and a narcissistic personality will make you the best of the best in any strength sport.
@PopInAPizza Says:
I really enjoyed this. Thanks for posting.
@stevesavage9331 Says:
Niko Bellic... anyone?
@Osvaldo4885 Says:
Here for Galpin. Great talk in spite of Tom’s interruptions and negative outlook.
@gaitana07 Says:
I believe that people who do not enjoy working out probably will not get the same results and are more prone to quit exercise than those who enjoy doing exercise. You need to learn to enjoy the process more than focusing on the probable results that you will get!
@gaitana07 Says:
I found a lot of people complaining that they do not get muscles increasing but, when I saw the ridiculous amount of weight that they were lifting I understood why. You need to really make a demand on your muscle to make it grow. It needs to be difficult and challenge your system.
@jimmygigga6819 Says:
This Tom guy talks too much. Stop pontificating, and let the interviewee speak.
@jlowe8059 Says:
This is longest most convoluted way I've ever seen someone try to explain calories in calories out. It's really simple. Eat more energy than you burn, gain weight. The opposite, you lose weight. Just basic physics and thermodynamics.
@csl9495 Says:
Yoooooo! At 1:47:00 he says more muscle equals more storage for crabs. DuH! I cant believe why i didnt even think of it like that even thouvh i know about glycogen. This makes semse why when youre in such shape you can then began to eat more! I always just only thought of it as youre just able to "burn" more/faster because your can perform better - which ofcourse is true in itself, but the storage capacity of it makes sense too

Dude in black hat looks like a pasty faced skeleton. Hard to take advice from someone that has no build 🤣🤣🤣

Olestra may cause anal leakage , fatty stools, and dirty underwear

The human animals North Star outside of adaptation is cooperation. Humans are a social species so cooperative adaptation is our ultimate objective. Imo

Too dang confusing, moving on
@beardumaw24 Says:
Boy Tom you must have gotten a few bad genes, lol JK. Your killing it ! Whenever I workout my body screams for more ! I love the feeling of working out I love doing all out Sprint's! How can anyone hate exercise or working out? And I'm 60 and more athletic than most 30 Year olds. An hour high intensity full body weight workout twice a week and build muscle easy, I do eat a whole foods animal based foods diet with organic vegetables and berries, no prossessed foods.
@michaelibidapo5397 Says:
I love how interactive this episode was and how Tom "pushed back" on things he thought he knew. If it wasn't for that, I would've probably learned a lot less from this convo.
@michaelibidapo5397 Says:
This was such an insightful episode. I feel like every time Dr. Galpin opens his mouth, I learn something new.

2:38:32 how on gods green earth can you not know what an asymptote is.. It's advanced high school algebra or basic college algebra 🤦♂️
@goldfishi5776 Says:
2:07:33 hair? The best genetic capture are not from hair .. But 'i'm not a doctor'..
@goldfishi5776 Says:
1:13:30 youre so far off base on revert to mean eg lethargy eg exercise hurts.. Conservation and evolution. We advance in steps so without the plateau, it's a long fall hence no wings there dodo.. Entropy is death thus consume and conserve
@goontheboobgun4784 Says:
Holy cow This guy Tom is actually annoying. Must have been the nerdy Kid that got successful and picked up an ego along the way
@goontheboobgun4784 Says:
Tom’s ego got real hurt when Andy told him his approach was sub optimal
@danajones379 Says:
Ballet dance training does it all, in addition to fitness the body looks amazing and it’s artistic and fun, either as a soloist, with a partner or in a group. It’s the best fitness!

What about circulating ketones?

I'm motivated by not being in poor health in my later years... I don't want to be diabetic and I don't want bypass surgery.

F*ck man this guy is brutal, the truth cuts deeeeep
@SueEllenWilson Says:
Holy moly Andy, I understand and have always completely thought what you are saying is true for me
@davepenny1199 Says:
Of the many many podcasts I have listen too.
This is one that sits in the top 3.
A matrix moment. Leaving one. Looking at the world in a very different and new/exciting way.
Simply....mind blown, wow!
Gonna have to re listen to the stuff around how fat is created and stored. A number of times because it's so counter intuitive and in opposition to the over simplified marketing version.
What an incredible and enlightening conversation
@davepenny1199 Says:
Do resonate Tom....wait what. I have believed a lie.
Or at least a white lie on what energy is. What fat is etc.
Not unlike learning that the high school model of the atom. Is useful in a easy general way.
But fundermentaly incorrect
@davepenny1199 Says:
So, essentially.
Energy is the breaking down of carbon chains....consuming carbon for the fundermental purpose of energy (which we name as carbohydrates/ fats - "converted" carbohydrates in stored form - plants or animals)
* straches, glucose = different forms of the same base - (wood paper cardboard for eg)
And while protein can be used as energy. Is a very expensive source. Because it needs additional steps to make it available for the body to access.
Protein is better used as a building material for growth and repair
