Science of Growth, Hypertrophy and Building Muscle w/ Brad Schoenfeld - 289

Brad Schoenfeld, PhD, CSCS, CSPS, FNSCA, is an internationally renowned fitness expert and widely regarded as one of the leading authorities on body composition training (muscle development and fat loss). Brad is a best-selling author of multiple fitness books including The M.A.X. Muscle Plan , which has been widely referred to as the "muscle-building bible," and Strong and Sculpted , which details a cutting-edge body sculpting program targeted to women. Brad also has authored the seminal textbook Science and Development of Muscle Hypertrophy , which is the first text devoted to an evidence-based elucidation of the mechanisms and strategies for optimizing muscle growth. Brad earned his Master's degree in kinesiology/exercise science from the University of Texas and his PhD at Rocky Mountain University, where his dissertation focused on elucidating the mechanisms of muscle hypertrophy and their application to resistance training. He has published over 100 peer-reviewed research articles on exercise and sports nutrition, many in high impact factor journals, as well as several textbook chapters. In this episode, he shared with us scientific insights on gaining muscle and strength. We covered pre and post workout nutrition (including protein intake benefits, optimal time window, amount, and type), the relationship between training frequency and muscle gainz, between keto diets and muscle gainz, recommended rest periods during training, and more.
