In this podcast, Mike Israetel discusses prep feelings, peak week, and the mysterious hypertrophy book. He also explores the difference between static and dropping RIR throughout a Mesocycle. Additionally, he shares his thoughts on the importance of beating week to week performance and reveals what research study he would conduct if given the opportunity.

Quick takeaways
Comparing the effects of fatigue-acquated training on hypertrophy, specifically comparing failure training to non-failure training and different exercise modalities.
Exploring the importance of progressive overload within a mesocycle and its impact on hypertrophy and strength gains.
Deep dives
Study on the effects of fatigue-acquated training on hypertrophy
A realistic research study could compare the effects of fatigue-acquated training on hypertrophy. One group would train at a 2-3 RIR or 3-4 RIR the entire time for eight weeks, while another group would train to failure every session. The volume between the groups would be adjusted to maintain similar fatigue levels. This study could provide insights into the effectiveness of failure training and the optimal level of fatigue for hypertrophy.
Comparative study on different training variables
Another interesting study could compare different training variables in a fatigue-acquated manner. This could include comparing failure training to non-failure training, as well as comparing different exercise modalities such as isolations vs. machines. By controlling for fatigue levels, this study could shed light on the effectiveness of various training approaches.
Study on the impact of progressive overload
A study focused on the importance of progressive overload within a mesocycle could also be valuable. This study could compare individuals who progress their performance week to week in terms of weight or reps with those who start closer to failure and increase intensity over time. By examining the impact on hypertrophy and strength gains, this study could provide insights into the best approach for optimizing progress within a mesocycle.
Fatigue and hypertrophy relationship study
Lastly, a study exploring the relationship between fatigue and hypertrophy could be interesting. This study could examine different training protocols with varying levels of fatigue and measure their impact on muscle growth. By better understanding the role of fatigue in hypertrophy, this study could inform optimal training strategies for maximizing muscle gains.
Mike is back with a longer episode which we decided to split into two so that you have a nice X-mas holiday. This time he's talking about prep feelings, peak week, the mysterious hypertrophy book and static vs. dropping RIR throughout a Mesocycle
Timestamps:
00:00 Prep feelings, peak week, etc.
18:42 Hypertrophy book
25:08 Difference of 4 to 0 rir or static RIR throughout a meso? Also, how important is it to beat week to week performance
36:54 If Mike could conduct any research study, what would it be?
