Dr. Andy Galpin: Optimal Protocols to Build Strength & Grow Muscles | Huberman Lab Guest Series

In this episode 2 of a 6-part special series, Andy Galpin, PhD, professor of kinesiology at California State University, Fullerton and world expert on exercise science, explains optimal protocols for increasing strength and causing hypertrophy (muscle growth), as well as for increasing speed and power. He explains the training principles and underlying mechanisms for reaching these goals. Our conversation covers a breadth of training topics, including selecting the number of repetitions, sets, inter-set and inter-workout rest periods, warm-ups, exercise cadence, breathing, stretching, recovery, training frequency, overcoming plateaus, nutrition, and he gives specific examples of exercises for power, strength, and hypertrophy. #HubermanLab Thank you to our sponsors Supplements from Momentous Huberman Lab Social & Website Dr. Andy Galpin Articles Other Resources Timestamps 00:00:00 Benefits of Strength & Hypertrophy Training, Aging 00:10:52 Strength & Hypertrophy Training, Aesthetics 00:14:02 Momentous, Eight Sleep, Levels 00:17:48 Strength vs. Hypertrophy Training: Adaptations 00:22:42 Ligaments, Tendons & Resistance Training 00:28:05 Bone Strength & Resistance Training, Age, Women 00:32:38 Strength Training & Major Adaptations 00:41:32 AG1 (Athletic Greens) 00:42:25 Hypertrophy Training & Major Adaptations; Protein Synthesis 00:45:56 Endurance vs. Strength Training & Cell Signaling, Protein Synthesis 00:52:26 Muscle Hypertrophy, Sarcoplasmic Hypertrophy 00:56:37...
