    Supplement Series - Magnesium
    Mar 10 2025
    Welcome to White Collar Fitness Radio, where we cut through the noise and give you practical fitness steps you can actually use—even if you’re short on time. Hosted by me, Bruno, we’re diving into magnesium: What it does: Powers over 600 body reactions—like energy and muscle function (PMID: 25540137). Why we might need it: Fights fatigue (PMID: 32101225), boosts sleep (PMID: 23853635), and cuts stress (PMID: 28535145). The catch: High doses can spark diarrhea or worse (PMID: 29083662). Our pick: Glycinate, 200-350 mg before bed, starting low at 2.5-3 mg/kg body weight. Action Step: Try 2.5-3 mg/kg tonight—see if it helps us sleep!

  • Injury-Proof Your Gains: Train Hard, Stay Safe

    Injury-Proof Your Gains: Train Hard, Stay Safe
    Feb 27 2025
    Welcome to White Collar Fitness Radio, where we cut through the noise and give you practical fitness steps you can actually use—even if you’re short on time. We’re digging into how we keep our gains without snapping something, sharing three secrets to train hard and stay safe. We tackle pitfalls that trip us up—rushing tempo (check our “Tempo” episode!), under-recovery (PMID: 26758673 suggests load spikes over 15% hike injury risk—not quite 20%), and ego lifting that turns us into humping wrecks. We arm ourselves with science: warm-ups cut injury odds 23% (PMID: 16679062), boost power 5-10% (PMID: 12762825), and force holds steady pre-lift (PMID: 22316148)—but safety’s king. Slow reps (PMID: 24714538) build muscle, though tendon strength claims need more digging, and rest days save us. Action Steps: We warm up 5 mins with leg swings. We slow reps to 3s down. We rest 48 hours post-big lifts. Share this with a reckless lifter, rate us five stars, follow us on Instagram. Visit https://www.brunodalledone.co.uk/, subscribe on Spotify.

  • The Sleep-Gains Connection: How Rest Builds Muscle

    The Sleep-Gains Connection: How Rest Builds Muscle
    Feb 24 2025
    Welcome to White Collar Fitness Radio, where we cut through the noise and give you practical fitness steps you can actually use—even if you’re short on time. Today, we’re diving into sleep—not just for recovery, but as our secret weapon for smashing gym PBs. We unpack how deep sleep unleashes growth hormone to repair muscle, backed by a 2011 study (PMID: 21850352) showing deprivation cuts it by 70%. Less sleep, less gains—simple as that. We also reveal how skimping below 7 hours tanks testosterone 10-15%, per a 2010 study (PMID: 20398108), mimicking a decade of aging and zapping energy. We share our pre-wedding hack—nasal strips and mouth tape (yes, gimp mode)—turning zombie mornings into PR-ready days. Clients laughed, then swore by it. Our three hacks? Scoop 20g casein 30-45 mins before bed, dim lights with blackout curtains to boost melatonin, and lock in a 7-8 hour bedtime—consistency’s key. Action Steps: We’ll eat 20g casein tonight, dim lights 2 hours pre-sleep, and stick to a 10 PM bedtime. Sleep’s our muscle fuel—let’s use it.
