Show Notes

*SHOW TIMESTAMPS FEATURED AT THE END*

In this episode, Gerry welcomes Julian back on the show to talk all things nutrition and nutrition for athletes. A few weeks ago, Julian posed an interesting question on social media asking strength coaches what they thought were the most misunderstood areas of nutrition for athletes and their parents. So, this show runs through some of those questions and gets Julian's perspective on them, and MORE!

To start, Gerry and Julian give an update on Gerry's quest to get "ripped again," which leads into a discussion about carbohydrates (and the misconceptions surrounding them), athletes thinking they eat "a lot," and the importance of starting your day with a quality breakfast.

From there, Julian gives some insight on micronutrients, advice for parents and things they should look for, as well as a discussion on fat, protein, carbs and over-reliance on supplements.

All that and more on this episode of Muscles and Management!
