I cover all things related to hypertrophy, physiology, and biomechanics.
Episodes
-
Why 200% more muscle growth doesn't mean anything
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
-
How MYOPS works with Zan Zupanic
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.
-
Blood flow restriction and hypertrophy + why you need heavy loads for joints
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.
-
Cooking our detractors
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".
-
Why sleep loss isn't killing gains - Why high reps (probably) DON'T build the same amount of muscle
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
-
The bulking debate - with Ella, TNF, and Alan Aragon
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.
-
Why hypertrophy gains HAVE to have strength gains and Q&A #1
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.....
-
Why mechanisms > outcome data
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
-
Max Strength vs Max Hypertrophy
Chris and I talk about the adaptations needed for strength development versus that of muscle growth
-
Why neuromechanical matching is REAL and determines prime movers
Go to Chris' article at Medium on all of these studies... https://sandcresearch.medium.com/what-is-the-principle-of-neuromechanical-matching-6e214c299dab
-
Why eccentrics WILL NOT "build a lot of muscle"
Chris and Paul talk about why it's a myth that slow eccentrics will build a lot of muscle
-
Bret Contreras and lengthened partials
We had Bret on to talk butt stuff but we ended up getting into the lengthened partial stuff at depth
-
The difference in LENGTH and STRETCH - why ACTIVATION is more important than force production
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...
-
All about progressive overrrr....errrrr weekly stimulus part 2 and the over warm-up method
What was meant to start off as a pod on progressive overload turned into Chris and I continuing to spitball about the weekly net stimulus and then my old over-warm up method
-
Tempo, Pauses, Isometrics and isoholds...
To put an end to the non stop questions about if you should pause, or not pause, or what isometrics do, or how tempo works..........
-
HOW cardio can kill your GAINZ
Chris and I go over the ways and hows that cardio CAN kill gains, and the way to approach cardio to minimize the gain killing
-
What's the best split for weekly net stimulus?
Chris and I brainstorm in this session over a model we are working on to help people figure out their ideal (optimal?) split, volume, and how this adds up to the "weekly net stimulus"
-
Breaking down Henselmans' Hypertrophy Model
Chris and I go through Menno Henselmans hypertrophy model and talk about the principles used to outline it
-
Empty milk jugs and motor unit recruitment
How an empty milk jug analog can help you understand motor unit recruitment
-
Q&A #1
Chris and I tackle some QUESTIONS from Instagram - 1. Does 1-2 RIR REALLY save us some fatigue? 2. Is there more fatigue in unilateral exercises? 3. Do have actually have enough data to create a hypertrophy model? 4. Are there any other mechanisms besides mechanical tension? 5. Are full body…

The model for predicting muscle growth
Chris and I discuss the physiological model we use that he created in order to predict/understand research and hypertrophy outcomes.
-
The principles of hypertrophy EVERY EDUCATOR should understand
Chris and I talk about the principles of hypertrophy that every person that calls themselves an educator should know, and be able to speak intelligently about. This is also an episode to understand how to read a study and begin to understand outcomes
-
What is the range of effective reps for hypertrophy?
In this episode Chris and I go over all of the data from the meta regression on training to failure, and reps in reserve. And show that there's no current data that says muscle growth happens at 8 reps in reserve, aside from the untrained elderly.
-
The plateau flowchart - How to understand if you're at one, and how to overcome it
In this episode Chris and I organically breakdown if you actually have a lifting plateau, how to assess it, all of the reasons that plateaus happen, and how to overcome them.
-
What stretch mediated hypertrophy REALLY IS
Chis and I cover this topic yet again because of the fact that "lengthened partials" has become so popular yet the "hivemind" that talk about it, don't even understand what stretch mediated hypertrophy is, or how to measure it. The link for the Medium article is here.......
-
What ACTUALLY causes you to hit FAILURE in a set....
Chris and I go over what actually causes you to hit failure in a set, and the "types" of failure that exist. Clue - there's just 1.
-
Are lengthened partials "worth it"?
Chris and I go over the idea that lengthened partials are the secret sauce behind more muscle growth, and if that's even the case.
-

Why muscles aren't torn down and built back bigger

-
Does metabolic stress cause muscle growth?
In this episode Chris and I will cover why metabolite accumulation doesn't cause muscle growth, along with a multitude of other mechanisms that have failed to produce direct responses that lead to hypertrophy. This includes, ROS (reactive oxygen species), hypoxia, a muscle pump (sorry Arnold)…
