Shrug family this week on Barbell Shrug Cody Hughes is dropping into the podcast and we are talking about high school strength and conditioning he runs a completely badass program and I'm always amazed to find out

how deep the world of strength conditioning has gotten because when I was in high school we did not have strength coaches at our school and now we have done two shows with two super awesome coach blame lap in out of a willister north hampton which is my alma mater and now

the strength coach at my old high school and then Cody Hughes today talking about the program that he runs I think it's super cool thinking about the problem solving that goes into running a high school strength conditioning program and the progression of people from the age of 14 through 18 19 years old and how fast kids change in that specific time frame going through puberty so I think we can learn a lot about progressions and how you can move

through your strength training career over a four year period realizing that there's going to be a ton of adaptations as well as how you can adjust your training and how you can monitor intensities and a lot of the

a lot of the pieces that go into putting together a really good training program so friends enjoy the show but before we get into it I want to thank our sponsors by optimizers at some point we've all been sold a big lie including yours truly it's called the protein lot starting in the 1980s supplement companies began pushing massive protein consumption we all believe that more protein equals more muscle grow.

I'm here to tell you it's all a big fat lie let's say you eat an eight ounce chicken breast you're consuming about 40 grams of protein however just because something contains 40 grams of protein it doesn't necessarily mean you're going to absorb all 40 grams without enzymes most of it ends up in your toilet bowl this is because your small intestine can only absorb protein that is broken down into smaller building blocks called amino acids it doesn't matter if you're consuming 30 grams of protein.

If you don't have a sufficient supply of enzymes to digest the protein your muscles will be starving for those vital building blocks that is why it's crucial you take a high quality enzyme before you run out and buy a bottle of enzymes you need to know exactly what to look for the sad truth is most enzymes are of little to no value if you want to build muscle the hefty costs stop most companies from developing and stabilizing your muscle.

I'm developing and stabilizing proteolytic enzymes the one I trust is mass times from bioptimizers I actually really love this product mass times is a full spectrum enzyme formula with more protease than any other commercially available with five different kinds of protease plus it contains all the other key enzymes you need for optimal digestion lab tests show that mass times contains more than two times protease than other leading enzymes.

It is by far the best value in the enzyme industry and you can watch mass times rapidly dissolve raw steak when you go to mass times dot com forward slash shrugged just like it sounds.
