Science of Muscle Growth, Increasing Strength & Muscular Recovery

In this episode, I describe how our brain and nervous system
control muscle tissue and how to leverage that for muscle
maintenance, growth (hypertrophy) and recovery. I explain how
neurons control muscle contractions and limb movements. I explain
muscle metabolism and muscle fiber recruitment. I detail protocols
for increasing muscular growth and for neuro-muscular recovery. I
explain the effects of deliberate cold, anti-inflammatory agents,
and anti-histamines on training progress. I describe
science-supported protocols using certain weight load ranges, total
sets per week, training intensity, frequency, and in-between set
activities if one's goal is to increase muscle growth, strength or
endurance. I review three foundational compounds and nutrients and
three optimization compounds and nutrients that have been shown to
improve neuro-muscular performance. Finally, I explain how to
leverage exercise and weight training to enhance cognitive
function. Read the full show notes for this episode at
