New Science of Muscle Hypertrophy - Part 3, Eating & Training: 55 Min Phys

Including what we know scientifically about:
1. How many calories for muscle growth
2. How much fat, protein, EAA, and Leucine
3. Anabolic Window
And how each of these training variables need to be played to optimize muscle hypertrophy
1. Volume
2. Intensity
3. Training to failure
4. Rest intervals
5. Frequency (times per week per muscle group)
6. Which exercises work best
7. Why Renaissance Periodization sucks!
8. Partial vs. Full range of motion
9. Concentric vs. Eccentric
10. Repetition tempo and time under tension
11. What time of day to lift
12. Hard gainzers
13. Potpourri
This should keep you busy over the next few weeks.....

    Thank you Dr. Galpin for a fantastic series. I watched all three videos in this series , start to finish. I'm a Mechanical Engineer by training, so the subject matter is a bit foreign to me, but I am a firm believer in science and research. I am probably a bit out of the norm for people covered by this type of research as I am 65 years old. I have exercised most of my life, but have only resistance trained on and off for the last 20 years. I would love to see videos dealing specifically with the challenges of gaining strength and muscle mass for older people like me.

    I’ve only been consistently weightlifting for about six months, but I have been very actively rock climbing for over twenty years as well mountain biking. I would consider myself an athlete, although not professionally. Your videos have been great at providing a framework of ideas for progression and hypertrophy. Particularly helpful for me have been your suggestions about nutrition and diet and mind/muscle connection. Without those building blocks, sets and reps and weight are built upon a poor foundation. Keep up the good work!

We covered many of these principles when I interned at the PPC 14 years ago. His approach coupled with others - the late Louis Simmons as well - transformed my training. I would intern in the morning and then go to work at another well regarded training facility, and it was like going back in time as the training principles seemed far less advanced.

    Andy I have some questions. . 1. The chart at @1:00:55 (RP Checklist) gives extra points for muscle soreness. Schoenfeld has said that soreness is a poor signaler for muscle growth. Why is it included then? 2. The chart at @23:54 "gainz to sets". Is this chart showing a theoretical maximum amount of hypertrophy at a given # of sets on the horizontal axis or does it mean the rate of growth is slower (but continuous) over a given time frame ( that is, 10 sets would get maybe 1.5x the growth rate of 5 sets over a given time frame) ? 2.5. What is the point of diminishing returns on # of sets? 3. Has anyone published age-related recovery rate drop off ? 3.5. Do optimal protein intakes stay constant regardless of age? 4. What do you think of the breathout test for testing recovery (saw this on latest Dr. Huberman video)? 5. Slightly off topic. If one is practicing fine motor skills (guitar, piano) would a recovery day be applicable for muscular recovery? Thanks for the very informative video!

    As a powerlifter, obviously training the big 3 is important. However, I like to think about the "Big 9". Generally, there are a couple other lifts that will correspond well to the bench, for example. Some find that overhead press, incline press, decline press correlate well to their overall bench total. Growing and strengthening through the Big 9 with the spectrum of the rep range is very valuable, in my opinion.

    I cannot understand how someone could dislike your videos. What you are doing is amazing! Thank you. What is more you were talking about difficulty to determine the volume when doing isolated movements + multi joint movements. However this is still easy because in majority this topic includes people training mostly in the gym, but how about athletes who train their sport + hypertrophy training? How does their regular training could effect hypertrophy training? Would the mostly used parts in regular training need less volume from hypertrophy training? Or would you need even more volume from hypertrophy training as the muscles which are used more will be adapted to the training they have done? How about accumulated muscle damage?

There was one important training aspect that I was missing, does it makes sense to implement a form of periodization, like D.U.P. for example? I guess it does, but what does the research say?

    Feel like I'm getting to these vids a little late in the game, but damn: The more of Dr. Andy's stuff I watch, the more I wanna go back to school (at age 47.5, no less!) to study this stuff for-reals. Maybe work my way into somebody's lab, do some real research...answer some real questions! In other words, the content is THAT engaging, THAT compelling and THAT motivating. Thank you, Dr. Andy! (And if you're looking for a new [if somewhat aged] grad student to investigate, say, the effects of RE in older athletes, I'd be happy to help. ;)

    Thanks for the info...I am on a fitness journey now that I am 47 y/o...lol Anyways, I started light 5 months ago and my main goal was to lose weight. I am getting close to my goal of -25lbs of fat and the plan is to gain back 10-15lbs of lean. Thank you for the guidance for this newbie!
