Summary

Halo Sport is the first-ever brain stimulator used to accelerate movement-based learning. In other words, it speeds up the development of skill, strength, and endurance, depending on the type of training that you pair with it.

Halo Sport works by applying non-invasive, mild electrical current to the motor cortex (part of the brain responsible for movement), allowing your brain to build stronger connections and learn movement faster. For example: You can wear Halo Sport for 20 minutes before your training session, which gives you one hour of what neuroscientists call "hyperlearning" or "hyperplasticity". Training with it accelerates gains across skill, strength, and endurance.

In this episode of Barbell Shrugged we talk about the advantages of the Halo Sport 2, the research behind tDCS, the technique of bench pressing, how to fix motor learning problems, how to incorporate Halo Sport during competition, why consistency is the difference maker the difference between Halo Sport 1 and Halo Sport 2, the Halo Sport app, and much more!

Enjoy!

- Anders and Doug

0:00.0	Neuroplasticity. Your brain's ability to mold, shape, and grow so that you can learn things faster.
0:09.4	Shark family, two weeks ago, Doug and I hopped on the Big Bird.
0:12.3	Phew! East Coast to West Coast, hanging out with our friends over at Halo Sport.
0:16.7	We met the strong bench presser in the world, Emily Hoo, and the CTO of Halo Neuro Sport.
0:23.6	We interviewed them about six, eight months ago.
0:26.0	They had the Halo Sport 1, which was a very cool device.
0:28.4	I learned all about the brain and how they can open the motor cortex up to help you increase your learning of complex movement patterns.
0:37.4	For you crazy cross-fitters out there, you know what that means?
0:39.8	Snatches, clean the jerks, muscle ups, butterfly pull ups.
0:42.9	All the things that take high-level skill movements, they are creating products specifically the Halo Sport headset to help you learn those things faster.
0:54.8	Halo Sport revolutionized physical training by being the first ever product that can increase your neuroplasticity.
1:01.2	In other words, speed up how fast you learn.
1:04.5	The headset looks and plays music like a pair of high-end headphones, and also sends an electrical stimulation to the part of the brain that controls movement.
1:12.5	This puts your brain into a state that neuroscientists call hyper-learning.
1:18.1	Here's how I use the product.
1:20.3	I put it on right before I get in the car to go to the gym.
1:23.5	It's that simple. You don't even have to be in the gym using it.
1:27.7	As soon as you get out of work, put it on on your commute to the gym.
1:30.9	By the time you get there, the program is done, and all you have to do is show up and you learn faster.
1:36.4	It's going to help with all of the complex movements, Olympic lifting, all those crazy gymnastics movements you've been struggling with.
1:42.2	But I'm not the only one using it.
1:43.9	Just ask the US military, Olympic teams, and players across the NBA NFL, UFC, PGA Tour, and more.
