This episodes guest is Dr. Andy Galpin.

Andy is a tenured Professor in the Center for Sport Performance at CSU Fullerton.

Andy has a degree in Exercise Science, a Masters degrees in Human Movement Sciences, and a PhD  Human Bioenergetics.

He now focuses his attention on teaching classes (Sports Nutrition, Exercise Physiology, Designing Exercise Programs, Applied Strength and Conditioning, Athlete Assessment and Measurement, etc.) and running the BMEP lab (which studies the acute responses and chronic adaptations of human skeletal muscle in response to high force/velocity/power and fatiguing exercise from the whole body, down to the individual muscle fiber and even into the individual DNA. The team does this by taking muscle biopsies from non-athletes and elite athletes from different backgrounds (e.g. normal college student, MMA fighter, Boxer, Weightlifter, etc.) and use highly sophisticated laboratory techniques and equipment to address questions about single fiber "type", size, function, protein quantity, diameter, mitochondria, and myonuclear function. You can get all of our published research here.

On this episode Andy and I discuss:

• Andy's background & Influences 
• Andy and I discuss having perspective and context in life
• What are the good and not so good things that Andy currently see's with the physical preparation and sport science professions, and what solutions would he offer for the not so good things he is seeing

• I ask Andy to discuss everything around Fibre typing
• Andy and I discussed experience vs expertise
