Summary

And if your levels of A MPK are low, your ability to repair damaged mitochondria and basically to make new mitochondria are being compromised, which means no matter how much time you’ve spent in the weight room, the day of performance, you will not perform to your peak levels.

Topics We Discuss:

[00:01]- In your experience, what do you think is key to improving athletic performance? Well, the two key things is, one, uh,

[00:11]- improving the output of a TP. This is the energy that drives muscle contractions. If you don’t have energy, the car doesn’t work.

[00:20]- And likewise, if the cell doesn’t have energy, especially the muscle cell, it doesn’t work. Mm-hmm. But that’s the only part of that aspect.

[00:28]- The other aspect is focus, focus, especially in a, uh, an arena of chaos. Things are running around and you say,

[00:35]- I’m focusing on my job, and if I can basically focus on, on my performance and have adequate energy, I’ll perform better than my

[00:41]- opponent. It’s as simple as that. And so the next question of course, is how do you increase a TP and get this increased focus?

[01:28]- Well, again, the answer, here’s a simple answer, metabolic engineering, okay, you probably want a little more detail. Well, but metabolic engineering is basically activating A

[01:38]- MPK, and that basically controls those two aspects, which are so critical in athletic performance. Uh, one, when we talk about athletic performance in each muscle cell, you might have 2000 mitochondrial.
