Unlock Elite Fitness Secrets with the RAW Podcast by IRON COMPANY!Slow Metabolism: Causes and Evidence-Based Fixes with Marty Gallagher & Jim SteelABOUT THIS EPISODE: Co-hosts Marty Gallagher, J.P. Brice, and Jim Steel explain how metabolism actually works and where to focus if you feel “stuck.” They outline the components of daily energy expenditure, then connect training and nutrition to sustainable fat loss: prioritize protein to support lean mass and satiety, lift 2–4 days per week to preserve or build muscle, and blend zone‑2 cardio with short interval sessions for conditioning. Recovery (sleep, stress control, sensible progression) is positioned as the governor that lets you train hard consistently. We close with straightforward equipment picks that allow repeatable circuits—kettlebells, dumbbells, fan bikes, row...

Unlock Elite Fitness Secrets with the RAW Podcast by IRON COMPANY!Resolutions That Stick: Habits, Training Plans, and Equipment for Year‑Round ProgressABOUT THIS EPISODE: Marty Gallagher, J.P.

Start with clear process goals, then build repeatable routines: two to three strength sessions built on barbell or dumbbell basics, plus short, regular conditioning that supports recovery. Use small load jumps, keep a simple training log, and audit sleep and protein before chasing novelty. For home gyms and commercial floors, emphasize durable free weights, a stable rack and bench, and rubber gym flooring to protect the subfloor and control noise. The team closes with strategies for course‑correcting after mi...

Anchor each day with protein and produce, use a simple plate method at parties, and “budget” treats by pairing them with movement—walks, quick kettlebell circuits, or a short erg session. Keep training minimal but consistent: 2–3 strength sessions built on squats, presses, pulls, plus two zone‑2 bouts. Track only what matters this month—sessions completed, steps, and average bodyweight—then return to normal programming after travel. If you host, set the table with lean proteins and vegetables first; if you tr...

Unlock Elite Fitness Secrets with the RAW Podcast by IRON COMPANY!The Alone Diet: Appetite Control, Fasting Windows, and Sustainable Fat LossABOUT THIS EPISODEMarty Gallagher, J.P. Brice, and Jim Steel outline a practical “Alone diet” framework: fewer meals, higher‑satiety foods, and daily movement. The goal is appetite control and muscle retention, not crash dieting. Use a modest fasting window (e.g., 12–16 hours as tolerated), break the fast with protein and produce, and keep ultra‑processed snacks out of reach. Strength train two to three days per week with compound lifts to protect lean mass, and add zone‑2 conditioning—walking treadmill, exercise bike, or outdoor steps—on most other days. Track only what matters: sessions completed, weekly bodyweight avera...

Geowissenschaften - Open Access LMUComparison of two approaches to forced convection in crystal growth of II-VI compounds by THMHg1 - xCdxTe and Cd1 - xZnxTe single crystals were grown by the tracwelling heater method (THM), applying two different techniques of artificially stirring the solution zone. Accelerated crucible rotation (ACRT) was used in a vertical growth arrangement and compared a technique with constant rotation around the horizontal axis of the ampoule. The dominant hydrodynamic mechanisms of noth methods are discribed by the rotating disc model and are suggested to be almost identical with respect to the growth conditions at the interface. Convective flow is effectively enhanced adhacent to the growing crystal, where the matter transport is regarded as the...
1994-01-0100 minGeowissenschaften - Open Access LMUGrowth of Hg1−xCdxTe single crystals by travelling heater method under accelerated crucible rotation conditionsThe accelerated crucible rotation technique (ACRT) has been applied to the THM growth of Hg1−xCdxTe crystals to grow the crystals at a higher rate. These higher growth rates, which should be achieved by extending the regions of conventional stirring towards the interfaces, have been used in an attempt to explain the results in terms of simple constitutional supercooling arguments. Some different ACRT cycles which fulfil simple hydrodynamic and geometric criteria have been studied. The grown crystals were investigated with respect to their metallurgical homogeneity and their structural perfection. These properties have not been degraded by increasing the growth rate fr...
