Curious to know why a lot of triathletes and ultra runners have high vo2 max and they don’t necessarily do high intensity workouts. I workout regularly and run more than most but I hardly ever do high intensity workouts and my vo2 max is always 60-63.I don’t think I’m misunderstanding the research so it’s leaving me confused.
Hey Andy. I see there's a wait list for absolute rest and the sleep lens program is sold out.. any idea when either of these will be available? I put myself on the waitlist for Absolute Rest. Thanks!
You can tell Dr Galpin practices what he preaches. The positive energy oozes off this guy. Admirable Intelligence, curiosity, and a genuine willingness to help others. Chris please bring him back on regularly.
People got to pay the bills. While it's overpriced and overrated in my opinion. Would you rather see a Pfizer ad???😂😂😂 if he was on most any three letter station that would certainly be the case, and I would question every word he said and his intention to the utmost in that case!
@@JD.......... It's garbage product that isn't worth the money, never mind it's ridiculous claims and questionable content. I expect more from Galpin as an educator and researcher than shilling for a disreputable company.
What an absolutely fantastic interview. I haven't looked up stuff by Andy Galpin in a while, but always link his hydration videos on reddit. He's got such a great approach, nuance, context, real-life and real people oriented, and a bunch of science and testing, I just love it.
Great interview Chris. I like listening to Andy Galpin. I appreciate the way he can talk to the needs of a professional athlete and to the person who wants to stay fit and have a long health span. Great guest choice. Keep up the good work.
Bit of a long shot, but would anyone going to Chris's live show in November be keen for a gym session in the afternoon beforehand? Would be great to connect with some of the community!
absolutely insightful! The way you both broke down complex topics into practical advice was fantastic. Andy's expertise paired with Chris's thoughtful questions made for a truly engaging and informative conversatiob Looking forward to more episodes like this! Ps: love the humour
He said don’t go above 35db but A 2017 study found that broadband sound (aka white noise) played at 46 decibels reduced the amount of time it took for participants to fall asleep by 38% and improved overall sleep quality 1:44:48
Thanks for sticking up for carbs! I was waking up starving, sweating, and with a racing pulse every night until I started having a starch & protein snack before bed. People keep telling me to cut carbs for weight loss, but those people aren't doctors!
How to Train VO2 Max (15:18) * 8 to 12 minutes: Gradually increase intensity (1 set per week may be enough). * 15 to 20 minutes: For those who are super fit (several times per week). * Key point: It should feel VERY HARD by the end of the set. * If you peak before that time range: You're likely failing for other reasons, not reaching true VO2 Max (e.g., muscular endurance). * Idea: Run 1 mile (8 to 10 min), rest 1 mile, repeat (16:39). * Whatever limits your performance is what you will adapt to. * For the general population: 1-2 times per week of low-intensity training (zone doesn't matter). * Warm-up properly when going for max effort (23:05). If your quads tire before reaching VO2 Max, an increasingly difficult warm-up should help.
For years I was a bartender in a casino for the evening shift. It took hours to fall asleep after I got home. Between the lights, sound and conversation it was virtually impossible to go to sleep.
I have little doubt that improving VO2 max increases health and leads to increased longevity generally. On the other hand, there is a correlation vs causation issue... Just because VO2 max was higher in tested populations of people who lived longer, doesn't mean it was largely the higher VO2 max that was responsible. However, higher VO2 max is likely correlated with the factors that do cause longevity... But may not be the key factor itself.
Yeah same with the grip and leg strenght he mentioned...i think people that are physically active whole life will have better grip strenght and also better health outcomes, but that doesnt mean grip strenght will help you to be healthier or live longer
The point with VO2 Max is that you typically can't get an elite VO2 Max without engaging in behaviors that make you significantly more healthy overall unless you're some kind of genetic outlier. For example, nobody that has a VO2 Max in the top 2% for their age is a smoker. So, it's a great target to have no matter what, because if you're in the constant pursuit of a high VO2 Max, you're going to do a lot of the necessary things to maintain your health.
4:58 I think this is the highlight of the episode: VO2 max out-predicts diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol, heart disease, and heart surgeries for all-cause mortality. And then a few studies showed that leg strength even out-predicted VO2 max in all-cause mortality, clinical prognosis, post-surgery recovery, and how well you fare during hospitalization. In short, get strong, and get cardiovascularly fit.
How does someone develop CO2 tolerance (mentioned around 1:11:00) if we want to try and cover as many bases as AbsoluteRest would tell us too, but if we don't have access to the program? I think become more fit was mentioned, anything else?
It seems like this information is for people that are already in good shape. Is there a video done that would help someone who is out of shape and overweight?
Assuming it’s 4 mins a day or even a week, I think even if someone is out of shape, they should be able to do that (then that would help them get into shape). However, it would likely be more beneficial for someone overweight and out of shape to lose weight (via a caloric deficit) and do some steady state cardio to 1. Help with that, and 2. Help you get more in shape.
He has done hours and hours with Huberman. The funny thing about VO2 max, training to improve it is relative. Do the same protocol. You'll have to do less to peak the heart rate.
This episode goes deep in acheiving peak health and sleep. How many of you would be happy if you have the detailed notes of the podcast so that after listening this podcast you can have and read the important stuff in 10 mins anytime you want. Let me know your response.
Chris may be warming up enough but I question the settings on the equipment he is using. On a Spin bike if the settings are off, you will feel like you are frying your quads, nothing but painful bricks the next day.
Take martial arts trainees as a study group, they work in rounds, usually, so their VO2 max should be off the charts, and see if these assumptions hold water
There have been hundreds of studies on VO2 Max in trained and untrained populations. Maybe go look at the existing studies before presenting another one.
Andy is just selling his sleep program in this podcast. Saying that everything else is unhelpful "bla bla, everyone is a millionare if follow my sleep program, all other metrics are wrong"
Swimming is hard to do VO2 Max training unless you're a good swimmer. Most people fail swimming too early to properly test VO2 Max due to poor form/inexperience. So, it's not a go-to option for most, but if you're an experienced swimmer, it's definitely possible.
Does anybody notice that when he talks about exercise physiology, he has clear logic and instant citations… but when he talks about sleep, he fumbles his sentences and backtracks on ideas? Makes me feel like he’s trying to come off as having more domain knowledge than he actually has to sell his sleep-related products - which I’d hazard a guess is based on incomplete at best science. Maybe I’m wrong, but smells funky.
Very wrong, have you even looked at what he does? Matt Walker advises a lot and runs a lot of sleep experiments vs Andy running a lot of his own exercise physiology experiments it would make sense he can draw on the exercise data easier than the sleep.
Most of Galpin's body of work is related to studies of exercise physiology, so it's probably much easier for him to recall those things as it's been his life for decades.
This leg press stuff - adjusted for sex or not? Otherwise the prognosis for children and most women is automatically worse which seems quite unlikely. Also what about causality with the overview he begins with talking about? There are various trends where you may have characteristics that lead to you performing well in certain ways, also benefitting you in other ways (ie correlated). However if you try to manipulate this, someone without those genetic benefits may train very hard and just end up making themselves tired (I'm exaggerating to make the point, of course they would get some conditioning benefits). For example if person A is great at a throwing sport 1, told they'd also be great at throwing sport 2, and it turns out correct. Person B is then told based on this that they need to do more of sport 1 to get good at sport 2, but actually they're not good at either because they have a dodgy elbow and short arms! So to what extent would VO2max and leg press training improve your prognosis, vs to what extent do some people have a good prognosis really from deeper factors that happen to also make it naturally easier for them to have great VO2max and leg strength?
The way the endurance training gurus present their training philosophies is a jumbled mess compared to how the top hypertrophy and strength training guys present theirs.
I really hate to talk shit on people. But, I must be the only person that didn’t rate this episode! I felt the content was without any nuance, some topics Andy didn’t seem to actually know much about other than some surface level stuff and used a load of correlation to assume causality. Just as example, the answering of the question around interval training. Just went around a lot of hot air information with no actual substance.
The New Science of Heart Health? Did he not emphasise that we've had the knowledge for decades and this isn't new data. Do you listen to your guests Chris?
I agree they are a bit too long. However, the information helps those of us who don’t have access to a Galpin, to set our guidelines based on available time and our strengths and weaknesses. Since it’s forever changing, especially as we get older, it’s good to know about the training options we can use continue to be recreational athletes.
They talk about much more than athletes. There were several mentions of executives and how similar approaches can be applied to them. I’m no executive but I struggle with sleep, and I still want to improve my overall health. Plenty of lessons in here beyond “workout hard.”
This podcast is specifically for people that are striving for long term healthspan. So, no, just working out "hard" isn't good enough. There are a lot of dumb ways to work out hard that don't meet my goals. I want to move around like I'm in my 60s when I'm in my 80s, in order to do that, I need to understand what is the best protocol that works for me which requires understanding lots of details. It just sounds like this isn't the podcast for you.
Stopped watching as soon as he said that total time spent sleeping and how much time was spent sleeping in various stages was garbage. It is not garbage.
Yea it’s not like there is nuance to this, like how it depends on how you measure the stages as every device/practitioner may class those stages differently. So while they are important if you aren’t measuring it with a top class expert then total time is more practical. Fuck nuance and context tho right
@@jamie6335 Fair. But 99.99% of all people looking to improve their sleep, will not have access to a top class expert measuring their sleep, now will they? Also, you will not find a single sleep expert who says those same things are garbage, except Andy. But hey, if you do find one, let me know.
Translation: "Bwaah, I can't accept that I've wasted money on devices and supplements, and that I'm gullible, so I will admonish this guy and what he says, even though I have no idea what I'm talking about."
@@winkeyface2933 Well, I do know what I'm talking about. See, Andy needs to say that stuff is garbage, because it's the only way his "sleep business" works. See, if those metrics aren't garbage, what the hell can he charge people to track? But ahhh, there it is. Those metrics are now "garbage" and he knows what to track! Lucky for you all!

I thought for sure you would've asked about what a proper warmup for a v02 max session should look like after he called you out.
It's late night and I'm watching this pod
I guess it's doing the very opposite of what it promises
Awesome episode, the amount of helpful information you guys cover is impressive
Exactly what I found to be the conducive for actually keeping up the motivation is to look at everything on a weekly interval (kcal intake, exercise).

Wouldnt it be awesome if you could get massively more benefits in less time? Only way is through self education or hiring an educated coach.

Translation: "Bwaah, I can't accept that I've wasted money on devices and supplements, and that I'm gullible, so I will admonish this guy and what he says, even though I have no idea what I'm talking about."
@@winkeyface2933 Well, I do know what I'm talking about. See, Andy needs to say that stuff is garbage, because it's the only way his "sleep business" works. See, if those metrics aren't garbage, what the hell can he charge people to track? But ahhh, there it is. Those metrics are now "garbage" and he knows what to track! Lucky for you all!
@nhynyx so he went into depth on why. But you had to get back to the circus so you rushed off. After hearing his analysis, it's garbage.
