Tom Sheppard breaks down the science of training optimization, peptide protocols, and performance enhancement for the modern biohacker. From hybrid training approaches that build strength and hypertrophy simultaneously to the most effective peptides for recovery and longevity, this episode delivers actionable strategies for maximizing human performance without compromising health.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Why the "superhuman" biohacker needs to master multiple training modalities instead of specializing in just one

• The surprising truth about how slow real strength gains actually are (even for competitive powerlifters)

• Tom's exact framework for fitting power, strength, hypertrophy, and cardio into minimal weekly training time

• The peptide stack that addresses mitochondrial decline, inflammation, and hormone optimization as you age

• Why most people fail with over-the-counter testosterone boosters (and when they actually work)

• The injectable peptide combination that amplifies growth hormone effects without the side effects of higher doses
