Episode notes
What Hypertrophy And Resistance Mean
- Hypertrophy is the measurable growth of muscle tissue across thickness, cross-sectional area, or volume.
- Resistance training creates force on muscles while strength training focuses on gaining strength, which isn't solely dependent on hypertrophy.
Muscle Size Helps Metabolic Health
- Muscle size aids metabolic health by increasing glucose storage and reducing insulin resistance risk.
- Brad Schoenfeld prioritizes strength for long-term health, while training choice should match personal goals.
Learn Movements First
- Beginners should focus on learning and ingraining movement patterns for the first 1–3 months.
- Master movements before progressing to goal-specific training to avoid poor technique and suboptimal results.
