I cover all things related to hypertrophy, physiology, and biomechanics.
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

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
