Balancing Muscle Growth and Longevity.
41:55 - 52:50 (10:54)
Despite research showing that maximizing muscle growth involves maximizing mTOR activation, which could lead to aging and cancer, there are ways to offset the activation. Intermittent fasting and purge fasts, as well as focusing on strength over hypertrophy and mobility, can help promote longevity and retain attributes lost through aging.

The goals of hypertrophy and muscle gain are generally the inverse of what you would want to do for longevity; therefore, focus on strength and mobility over hypertrophy to retain attributes of strength and flexibility when aging.

Summary
The goals of hypertrophy and muscle gain are generally the inverse of what you would want to do for longevity; therefore, focus on strength and mobility over hypertrophy to retain attributes of strength and flexibility when aging. This can be achieved through two to three reps of very high weights with plyometrics and a long rest between sets, along with intermittent fasting and purge fasts with medical supervision.

Summary
The body needs sufficient periods of time to recover from physical and mental stresses. For highly driven individuals, relaxing time can be reframed as recovery time to ensure that biological resources are regenerated, which ultimately boosts performance and wellness.
