3DMJ Podcast #267: Cardio Programming For Physique Sport Team3DMJ 2024-10-17 | Brad, Jeff, and Brian discuss when, how, and why they program cardio for themselves and their athletes.

3DMJ Podcast #263: Why Is Gaining So Hard? Team3DMJ 2024-08-22 | Alberto, Jeff, and Nick discuss the struggles with gaining weight in the offseason, finding your ideal rate of gain, identifying what your current rate of adaptation is, and advice to help you stay patient when you’re doing all you can do. Who should bulk? What can happen when you get too fixated on gaining weight at a certain rate or weighing a certain amount? What were the coaches’ motivations for and experiences while intentionally gaining weight for the first time? How beneficial is a “dreamer’s bulk”? Can you force-feed muscle growth? The answers to these questions and many more are covered in this episode.

3DMJ Podcast #262: Is Powerbuilding A Compromise? Team3DMJ 2024-08-08 | Eric, Brad, and Brian discuss methods dual athletes can use to maximize their competitiveness in both bodybuilding and powerlifting. These same methods can also be used by noncompetitors who want to get big *and* strong. Why do the coaches program more bodybuilding work for their powerlifting athletes than they used to? Do the benefits of specificity max out at a certain point? How does specificity change over time? How does the minimum effective dose for novice lifters and advanced lifters differ? For most people, does training for bodybuilding and powerlifting at the same time actually result in suboptimal progress in one or both? Is there a potential benefit to training across a wider variety of rep ranges? How can the stimulus-to-fatigue ratio of an exercise differ between people? The answers to these questions and many more are covered in this episode.

Bodybuilding on Vacation - Believe 2024 Euro Tour Part 2 Team3DMJ 2024-08-05 | Hey 3DMJ'ers! Welcome to my 2024 vlog cataloguing my first offseason as a pro, where I document how I try to do the unlikely...become a top WNBF pro bodybuilder. I’m back in part 2 of two videos cataloguing my 2.5 weeks in Europe, which also acted as a deload. In this video I catalogue my arrival in Italy, specifically Milan, my experience judging the WNBF Italy Natural Ambassador, followed by a live translated seminar hosted by https://www.naturalpeakingstore.it/shop-online/ the good folks who not only support WNBF Italy but also are the Italian translators for my Muscle and Strength Pyramid books. Finally, I went back to Southampton to stay again with my good friend and fellow sports scientist @Dr__Pak who was so kind to host me yet again between weekends, before the final part of our trip, where we both spoke at the British Powerlifting Coaches Conference in London. We also did a lot of filming together, so check out Dr. Pak’s YouTube as well as Dr. Milo Wolf’s @WolfCoaching channel, and finally @strongerbyscience for my upcoming collaboration videos with them both!**COACHING: 3dmusclejourney.com/coaching**COURSES: 3dmjvault.com/bundles/vip**NEWSLETTER: https://3dmusclejourney.ck.page/posts**SUBSCRIBE ON SPOTIFY: open.spotify.com/show/4E61iRCD1qSZUTRactySTj?si=kiONmQJqSaC3EWUncGgfsg**SUBSCRIBE ON APPLE PODCASTS: itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/3d-muscle-journey-podcast/id1115048476**APPAREL & MERCH: redbubble.com/people/team3dmj/shop**FULL WEBSITE & BLOG: 3dmusclejourney.com**TEAM 3DMJ SOCIAL MEDIAInstagram: instagram.com/team3dmjTikTok: tiktok.com/@team3dmjTwitter: twitter.com/3dmusclejourney**FOLLOW OUR COACHES:Jeff Alberts - instagram.com/3dmj_godfatherBrad Loomis - instagram.com/3dmjcoachAlberto Nuñez - instagram.com/nunez3dmjEric Helms - instagram.com/helms3dmjBrian Minor - instagram.com/bdminor

What REALLY happens in a supplement manufacturing facility? Team3DMJ 2024-07-26 | What’s up 3DMJ’ers Eric Helms here, sharing with you my recent experience getting a deeper look into the supplement industry during my trip to Europe. As I’ve mentioned on the 3DMJ podcast, in various YouTube videos and MASS articles, the supplement industry can be a dangerous place, even more so for drug-tested athletes. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t good people out there making innovative, high quality, evidence-based supplements who protect the consumer. While I was in Spain I got the opportunity to tour the principal facility of Life Pro Nutrition, which is one such example. Importantly Life Pro did not pay me to make this video, and I don’t officially endorse their products or anything of that nature! But, I will give always give a shout out and credit to good people doing good things in an often shady industry. Also, I’d never had the opportunity before to get educated on how supplements are manufactured. So, I jumped at the chance, and also wanted to share it with you, enjoy!**ALL VIDEO COURSES: 3dmjvault.com**3DMJ COACHING: 3dmusclejourney.com/coaching**HOW TO LIFT: 3dmjvault.com/courses/lifting-library**APPAREL & MERCH: redbubble.com/people/team3dmj/shop**FULL WEBSITE & BLOG: 3dmusclejourney.com**3DMJ SOCIAL MEDIAInstagram: instagram.com/team3dmjTikTok: tiktok.com/@team3dmjTwitter: twitter.com/3dmusclejourneyFacebook: facebook.com/3DMUSCLEJOURNEY-160614584798

How does prep help you learn more about yourself and become a better version of yourself? Should you chase feelings of hunger? How do the coaches recommend dealing with the common side effects of prep such as being overly preoccupied with food, sleep deprivation, and decreased sex drive? How can the recovery process differ between those who never plan to compete again and those who plan to return to the stage?

Training While Traveling - Believe 2024 Euro Tour Part 1 Team3DMJ 2024-07-08 | Hey 3DMJ'ers! Welcome to my 2024 vlog cataloguing my first offseason as a pro, where I document how I try to do the unlikely...become a top WNBF pro bodybuilder. We last left off with my collab with Jeff where he and I discussed our very different volumes of training, and now I’m back in part 1 of two videos cataloguing my 2.5 weeks in Europe, which also acted as a deload. In this first video I catalogue my arrival in Spain, specifically Xativa, outside of Valencia, and how I gave a live translated lecture on bulking before WNBF Spain’s Natural Classic 2024 kicked off, which students of escuelaculturismonatural.com will have access to, my experience judging the show, and how I recorded a video lecture in Madrid for icen.es 's Master’s degree in Sports Supplementation and Ergogenic Aids. Further, the good folks at ICEN gave me a tour of the evidence-based supplement company lifepronutrition.com/en 's manufacturing facilities, for whom they act as formulators and advisors. Finally, I went to Southampton to stay with my good friend and fellow sports scientist @Dr__Pak who was so kind to host me between weekends, before I went to Italy…Tune in next time for part 2 of my European tour where I discuss my experience judging at WNBF Italy, doing a seminar there with Natural Peaking, going back to England to hang with Dr. Pak and friends again, and the finale, Dr. Pak and I presenting at British Powerlifting’s Inaugural Coaching Conference in London!**COACHING: 3dmusclejourney.com/coaching**COURSES: 3dmjvault.com/bundles/vip**NEWSLETTER: https://3dmusclejourney.ck.page/posts**SUBSCRIBE ON SPOTIFY: open.spotify.com/show/4E61iRCD1qSZUTRactySTj?si=kiONmQJqSaC3EWUncGgfsg**SUBSCRIBE ON APPLE PODCASTS: itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/3d-muscle-journey-podcast/id1115048476**APPAREL & MERCH: redbubble.com/people/team3dmj/shop**FULL WEBSITE & BLOG: 3dmusclejourney.com**TEAM 3DMJ SOCIAL MEDIAInstagram: instagram.com/team3dmjTikTok: tiktok.com/@team3dmjTwitter: twitter.com/3dmusclejourney**FOLLOW OUR COACHES:Jeff Alberts - instagram.com/3dmj_godfatherBrad Loomis - instagram.com/3dmjcoachAlberto Nuñez - instagram.com/nunez3dmjEric Helms - instagram.com/helms3dmjBrian Minor - instagram.com/bdminor
