Today Steve interviews Dr. Andy Galpin. Andy has a degree in exercise science, masters in human movement sciences and a PhD in human bioenergetics. So as you can tell already, he is incredibly well educated and what I love about Andy is that he thinks a little outside the box (more in the episode!). He also has his own lab and focuses his attention on teaching classes, running this lab, weightlifting, grappling and American football. In today's episode, we dig into muscle fibre types, what the most important variables are to consider when growing muscle and why you might want to stop your bodybuilding programme now and then to maximise muscle growth! Timestamps: 01:39 Andy talks about exciting new findings in their research 03:10 Andy elaborates on his quote "The most perpetuated myth is that fibre type can’t change with training." and further gives an insight into fibre types. 14:11 Andy shares his thoughts on why bodybuilders & powerlifters might be different in size 19:12 Furthermore Andy talks about his thoughts on periodisation 25:04 Andy talks about specificity and non-specificity 33:05 Andy speaks about general progress 37:11 Andy explains what he means with what consistency actually means 39:42 Andy's take on "hard work" http://www.andygalpin.com/ http://www.thebodyofknowledge.com/ Thanks, please comment, like and subscribe!
