The Great Weight Vest Experiment w/ "Dr" James Krieger

Last year Eric Lee Salazar enlisted the help of (honorary Dr.) James Krieger in pursuit of his eventual IFBB pro card. Eric had an idea, "what if I wear a weighted vest all day long? Think it will make prep easier?"   In this episode we talk with James about the limited research and the potential mechanisms to the results that followed. This is a topic that is so fascinating and the potential downstream effects are really mind blowing. What really determines our weight? The answer might lie in our bones.   :30 Introducing "Dr" James Krieger 3:00 The inception of the weighted vest experiment 5:00 Rodent gravitostat research 10:00 Energy flux 13:00 Why upping cardio isn't always the answer 18:00 Move more 22:00 Potential for osteopenia research? 24:00 Potential mechanisms 29:00 Real world applications 36:45 How impactful are metabolic adaptations?
