  Why 200% more muscle growth doesn't mean anything 16.08.2025 2h 21m

  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 03.06.2025 1h 14m

  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 29.03.2025 2h 26m

  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 15.03.2025 1h 49m

  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 01.03.2025 2h 48m

  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 16.02.2025 3h 19m

  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 01.02.2025 2h 33m

  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.....

  Upper Lower vs Full Body - The Final Word 28.12.2024 2h 44m
• 
  Why mechanisms > outcome data 07.12.2024 2h 13m

  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
• 
  why mTOR is blah and why you don't need to bulk for gains 23.11.2024 1h 4m
• 
  Max Strength vs Max Hypertrophy 10.11.2024 2h

  Chris and I talk about the adaptations needed for strength development versus that of muscle growth

• 
  Why eccentrics WILL NOT "build a lot of muscle" 11.08.2024 1h 36m

  Chris and Paul talk about why it's a myth that slow eccentrics will build a lot of muscle

• 
  Bret Contreras and lengthened partials 13.07.2024 3h 36m

  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 29.06.2024 2h 34m

  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
