32 Working Out According to Your Genetics with Ryan Hall Part 2

The InForm Fitness Podcast

How and why do some people respond to certain physical training protocols and others not? GENETICS! Find out how your genetics can determine the success of your workouts and how to find the most effective protocol for you.
Exercise Physiologist and Certified Master Trainer, Ryan A. Hall joins us for the conclusion of a 2 part series. Ryan has over 25 years of experience in the health and fitness industry. Ryan’s Exercise and Genetic Variability Lecture formed the basis of Chapter 8: The Genetic Factor in Body By Science by Dr Doug McGuff and John Little. He also contributed to Chapter 3: The Dose/Response Relationship of Exercise.

There was this one group of researchers This is in 2007. They looked at a total of 596 genes. And about half those genes decreased their protein expression with the aging process, and half increase their protein expression with the aging process when they put these older subjects and I think they define them as 65 to 72 years old, on resistance training programs, everything reversed. Also nearly 600 genes, everything reversed, and the name of the study so they took muscle biopsies and all this stuff was resistance training reverses aging and human skeletal muscle. Wow, that was so powerful. It sends it it sent chills down my spine the first several times I looked at that. So literally resistance training high intensity resistance training is the closest thing that we have to the fountain of youth.

Tim Edwards 01:05

So inform nation did you catch that? That was exercise physiologist and certified master trainer Ryan Hall. In case you missed it. He said genetically speaking, high intensity resistance training is the closest thing we have to the fountain of youth. What else do you need to hear? Well, Ryan Hall joins us again on the inform fitness podcast with the science to back that claim up here in Episode 32. For those who are new to the podcast, let me introduce myself. My name is Tim Edwards, I'm the founder of the inbound podcasting network. But more importantly, I've been a client of inform fitness for the past year and a half at the time of this recording. Now soon you'll hear from New York Times bestselling author and the founder of inform fitness himself. Adam Zickerman, his general manager from the Manhattan location Mike Rogers will be with us, as well as the co owner of the informed fitness Toluca Lake location, Sheila Melody. Now, like I said, at the top of the show, Ryan Hall is back with us for part two of working out according to your genetics. Remember last week, we discussed the genetic distinctions between those of us who might have either oxidative slow twitch muscle fibers, or glycolytic, fast twitch muscle fibers and how understanding our genetic attributes can determine the results that we experience through our high intensity strength training. Let's pick up where we left off last week with part two of working out according to your genetics, with exercise physiologist, and certified master trainer, Ryan hall here on the inform fitness podcast.

Adam 02:32

So Ryan, there are these, what they call phenotypes, the outward appearance of different individuals and they have different types of body types phenotypically, or observationally. By looking at them, you have the ectomorph, the endomorph and mesomorph.

Tim Edwards 02:51

Let's define those for audience to Adam, for those who don't know

Adam 02:54

so the ectomorph that's, that's more of the lanky, very lean type very hard to build muscle, skinny, skinny, skinny type of person

Ryan Hall 03:03

that would, I just think Woody Allen

Mike 03:05

Woody Allen meets Ichabod Crane

Adam 03:12

endomorph would be kind of more than a pear shaped person, a soft looking person, you know, carries excellent excessive body fat, not very muscular at all.

Mike 03:21

Danny DeVito Sorry,

Ryan Hall 03:22

John Candy.

Adam 03:26

And then you have the mesomorph, which is the very muscular bill like

Mike 03:29

like Mike Rogers. I'm in the middle there

Adam 03:37

so based on based on those phenotypic traits. Ryan, would you be able to say, okay, this person is more of a glycolytic type, a fast twitch type, and this person is more the, you know, slow twitch endurance type.

Ryan Hall 03:53

You know, Adam, it's that's a really interesting question, because at one point in time, yeah, I probably made that speculation. But I actually had turned out that that was wrong.

Adam 04:05

Yeah

Ryan Hall 04:06

I've since given up trying to determine someone's fiber type distribution, or the way that they're the fatigue response, metabolic response just by looking at them. And I can actually use one anecdote from, from our own clientele. We have this guy, Eric, who's still one of our clients. Now when he contacted me, maybe it was about a year ago, and he had read some of my genetics writings and whatnot, and went to the went to the website and saw what we were talking about. training people according to their genetics and responses and stuff like this. And Eric has tried unsuccessfully to add muscle through resistance training. In the past, a he's worked with other trainers and it didn't really work. fairly well. So he came in, he's one of my my Scott is one of my trainers has been training there for a long time. And we put them kind of on a standard time under load program just to see where he was going to fall. And he got a little stronger, but not a whole lot stronger, we were keeping them for maybe two minute time under loads. Um, and that's...
