Ask James: Recovery, Hypertrophy Volume Programming, Protein & Endurance, Tracking Food Intake, Energy Expenditure in People of Different Sizes, and Ketosis
Here are the questions answered in this edition of Ask James:
- What is the timeline for recovery from overreaching in different modalities of training (like heavy strength work versus hypertrophy work)?
- How do you implement the science on training volume and hypertrophy into program designs?
- Endurance athletes rely on lipolysis and fatty acid oxidation even when insulin levels are elevated. What happens if insulin levels are elevated from protein but not carbs?
- What methods of tracking food intake can work for busy people and people who struggle to track?
- Why does progress eventually stall in terms of hypertrophy? What about overtraining and hypertrophy?
- How do we compare energy expenditure between people of different sizes and body composition?
- What are the functions of ketones in the body? How do they compare as a fuel source for aerobic versus anaerobic exercise?
- Why are higher fat intakes typically recommended even though the daily requirements for essential fatty acids are very low?
