Dr Milo Wolf is a muscle growth researcher who's spent years studying what actually works for hypertrophy, and this conversation reveals why the fitness industry is better than ever despite the drama, how junk volume above 10 sets per workout wastes your time, and why lengthened partials after failure can double your stimulus per set.Milo explains why going close to failure might be the single most important skill for intermediate lifters who can't spend hours in the gym; high intensity gets more growth without more time. Learn why leg extensions miss 75 degrees of knee flexion at the bottom, losing massive stretch stimulus, how sissy squats and deep lunges beat barbell squats for quad growth with less fatigue and spine loading, and why mixing rep ranges (mostly 4-12 with some higher) prevents injuries while maximising hypertrophy.00:00 Introduction03:00 Current state of the fitness industry09:12 Importance of honesty with personal trainers13:45 Critical role of technique and form18:31 Choosing efficient exercises for hypertrophy22:46 Top picks for chest exercises26:31 Effective use of dips in workouts29:52 Best exercises for back muscles35:38 Tips on rep ranges for hypertrophy40:23 Comprehensive leg workout strategies48:33 Exercise selection for arms and shoulders55:46 Hamstrings and glutes: top exercise choices01:06:49 Explanation of lengthened partials01:15:49 Building muscle in a calorie deficitDISCLAIMERNothing shared on this podcast is a substitute for professional medical guidance.

Dr Amir Marashi started helping survivors of female genital mutilation restore sensation and became known as the vagina whisperer, and this conversation reveals why the clitoris anatomy was removed from medical textbooks for 100 years, how vaginal angle loss causes more issues than tightness, and what exosomes actually do for intimate tissue regeneration.Amir explains why orgasms rank alongside sleep and eating as fundamental pleasures—one good orgasm releases 100 times more oxytocin and endorphins than an hour at the gym. This covers why exosome injections repair nerve tissue and circulation at cellular levels, how morning erections returned to a 77-year-old after penis injections, and why pH balance matters more than hygiene products that kill good bacteria, causing fishy bacterial vaginosis.00:00 Introduction03:00 Why intimate health affects both performance and longevity09:54 Stigma around sexual health and shifting public curiosity14:00 How vaginal angle impacts sensation and sexual satisfaction18:21 Research on the best positions for female orgasm23:38 Why the brain drives 90% of female pleasure28:15 Rise of labiaplasty and cosmetic trends around the vulva32:05 Tools, food and fitness to improve pelvic health naturally36:43 Exosomes and stem cells for intimate rejuvenation47:29 Penis pumps, performance, and post-treatment gains50:25 Common misconceptions about sex health54:47 What smell says about vaginal health and what to fix58:18 Are sex toys making men obsolete?

Brad Schoenfeld has published over 200 peer-reviewed studies on muscle hypertrophy, and his research reveals why most people are training with far less volume than optimal, but adding more sets isn't always the answer.After analysing decades of resistance training data, Brad discovered that the relationship between volume and muscle growth follows a dose-response curve with a point of diminishing returns that varies dramatically between individuals. While some respond to 6 sets per muscle group per week, others need 20+ sets to maximise growth, and the difference comes down to factors most trainers never consider when programming.Tune in to find out your optimal training volume, why the "10 sets per muscle group" recommendation is oversimplified, and the specific markers that tell you when you've crossed from productive to junk volume.00:00 Introduction04:11 Understanding optimal training volume and individual variability09:01 Effective rep ranges and importance of training to near failure13:09 Mixing rep ranges for hypertrophy and the science behind it15:11 Myths debunked by research including rest times and nutrient timing18:23 Clarifying protein timing and muscle protein synthesis windows23:00 Does lifting tempo matter and how to think about it27:23 Eccentric vs concentric movement and site-specific muscle growth30:15 Advanced techniques like eccentric overload and when to use them31:43 Designing a hypertrophy programme with just three sessions a week36:07 The hype and nuance behind training in the lengthened position40:28 Longevity benefits of resistance training beyond aesthetics45:06 Muscle memory explained from neurological and cellular angles47:09 How to adjust training for older individuals49:07 Signs you're under-recovered and when to back off50:49 The future of hypertrophy training through genetic profilingDISCLAIMERNothing shared on this podcast is a substitute for professional medical guidance.
