#078 Resistance training for time efficiency, body composition, and maximum hypertrophy | Brad Schoenfeld, Ph.D.

Brad Schoenfeld
Show Notes

Dr. Rhonda Patrick speaks with Dr. Brad Schoenfeld about the science of resistance training for maximizing muscle hypertrophy and body composition changes in a time-efficient manner. They cover how lifting protects bone density, the role of protein intake and distribution, and strategies for training as we age. Schoenfeld discusses the optimal number of sets per week, the merits and risks of training to failure, and the interplay between aerobic and resistance exercise. The episode also delves into power training for fall prevention, the anabolic window myth, and whether stretching or yoga can build muscle.
