Join me on the Flex Diet Podcast this week as Dr. Phil Batterson and I unpack the critical role of aerobic fitness in sculpting your physique. Discover how enhancing your aerobic base can not only boost muscle strength and cut down fat but also significantly improve recovery times and stress management. Listen in as we explore a case study that demonstrates the transformative power of aerobic training for a lifter's rowing performance. For those wondering how to hit the sweet spot of VO2 max without veering into the territory of endurance specialization, stick around for expert insights tailored for the "average meathead."
