In this episode of Hypertrophy: Past and Present, Jake and Chris unpack Steve Reeves’ 1947 pre-competition full-body routine, then dive into why the Silver-Era were such advocates of orange juice + honey during training. We assess the building research on carbohydrate mouth-rinsing, what this tells us about supraspinal CNS fatigue, and how the performance increase from carbohydrate mouth-rinsing differs from the performance increase from creatine supplementation.

Key topics include:

Steve Reeves’ 1947 pre-comp full-body plan
What carbohydrate mouth-rinsing is doing and intra-workout carbohydrates
Why everyone experiences supraspinal CNS fatigue during strength training and what you can do about it
Why creatine adds reps without adding stimulus, but carbs can add stimulating reps
