Protein, Lactate, and Strength Phases to Boost Hypertrophy
The Stronger By Science Podcast
Pumpkin Pie - I've Never Had Maple Syrup
Pumpkin pie is one of the popular thanksgiving desserts. The food and drug administration has cracked down on mislabelling pumpkin as a squash, because it's technically not a pumpkin. There are many things masquerading as crabs that have just kind of adapt they have become in form of a crab,. But they are not truly crabs, necessarily.
Summary
Today’s episode features some Good News and Feats of Strength, followed by a huge Research Roundup to get you all caught up on recent happenings in the world of exercise science and sports nutrition. Topics covered include optimal protein intake, essential amino acids, meal timing, lactate, relationships between sleep and hunger, and muscle memory. Greg also discusses a recent study suggesting that adding strength phases to your training may promote greater hypertrophy. This study has made the rounds on social media and been widely discussed in the evidence-based fitness world, but there are some important details to consider before drawing conclusions on the topic. Finally, to play them out, Eric and Greg discuss some major food controversies that have shaken Eric to his core.
