On this one I talk with researcher Sam Buckner on hypertrophy studies and how measurements often get manipulated to show magnitudes that don't exist. Sam also talks about what to look for to determine if the muscle growth in a study is even relevant. And much more
Zan Zupanic and I discuss how MYOPS works, what they can see, what they can't see, and how all of this relates to good training practices.
Nick Ronick of BFR FAME joints us for this one where we cover how BFR works, what it's best used for, what its limitations are, and why you need heavy loads for joints.
Chris and I discuss the difference in "science" and "evidence based" and why they aren't the same. And why "evidence based" is a lower standard to use than true science. We also spend plenty of time cooking our "detractors".
This is a great one overall where we cover sleep, high vs low reps and why they probably aren't equal and TONS of other stuff
Today (sans Chris) we did a roundtable on all of the "bulking talk", went over the mechanistic and longitudinal data, and then the practical application of whether or not a surplus is required to maximize growth.
Chris and I refute the crappy article written by a dufus that says that hypertrophy gains don't always have strength gains to go with them AND some Q&A answered.....
Chris and I explain what the long term mechanistic data will always outweigh that of outcome data, and all the ridiculous examples of where outcome data has led people astray
Chris and I talk about the adaptations needed for strength development versus that of muscle growth
Go to Chris' article at Medium on all of these studies...

Chris and Paul talk about why it's a myth that slow eccentrics will build a lot of muscle
We had Bret on to talk butt stuff but we ended up getting into the lengthened partial stuff at depth
Chris and I go over a bunch of stuff in this one
The difference in lengthen and stretch
Why activation is more important than force production
Why we don't debate people and why it would solve zero
Why edema and swelling will still be present in most studies (conflating the hypertrophy measurements)
Why frequency matters
