How To Increase Power & Endurance At The Same Time

David says: I am lifelong climber and now a full-time climber in my retirement and I am after the holy grail of climbing - power endurance. I need the power to handle my weight and the endurance to stay on a climb for a long time. I know how to improve muscle strength and mitochondria but is there something a climber can add (supplements, diet, biohacks) to improve their power endurance?

In my response, I recommend: -Beyond Training book -Physiology of sport rock climbing -This article on foods and supplements for power and speed -Juggernaut Training and Alex Viada -BFR Bands & blood flow restriction training -beta-Alanine -Carnosine -Baking soda with Lemon -Oxcia from Biotropic Labs supplements (you can use code BEN30 for 30% on all 3 bottles by Biotropics) Biohacking Addiction

Steve says: Do you have any tips when it comes to breaking addictions? Specifically behavioural addictions like gambling or substance abuse. Any tips or info you have would be great!

In my response, I recommend: -Mucuna Pruriens -Amino Acids for neurotransmitter /dopamine precursors -The Halo device -The Circadia device - get $100 off when you use code GREENFIELD at checkout. -Peak Brain Institute in LA (neurofeedback) Should You Drink the Water On Airplanes?

Alex says: I work for an American airline and quite often the aircrafts are written up for not having a functional potable water supply for drinking or washing hands. The reason being that the water tanks have built up an unacceptable level of e coli. My question is this: is the risk of drinking from such a water supply ever worthwhile for eliciting a hormetic response in the body? It seems many pilots are split between "absolutely not" and "a good way to prepare the body for an end-of-days bacterial breakout". What are your thoughts on this?

Business Advice For Personal Trainers

Kieren says: Noting the dynamic landscape of the fitness industry today and with a constant barrage of new info and a flooded market, what advice would you give someone starting out as a personal trainer in 2018?

In my response, I recommend: -Chek Certification -Kion Coach Certification -Weston A. Price Foundation -Alan Aragon's Research Review -Examine Research Digest -Personal Trainers' Guide To Earning Top Dollars
