In a lively discussion, Dr. Milo Wolf, co-creator of the MyoAdapt App focusing on educational fitness content, and Dr. Pak, a strength training enthusiast, tackle prevalent health myths. They explore the significance of evergreen content in fitness and debunk misconceptions about BMI and ultra-processed foods. Insights about navigating new research emphasize balanced habits over extremes. The duo even delves into the controversial topic of seed oils and shares light-hearted takes on popular kitchen gadgets, all while promoting a pragmatic approach to nutrition.

Milo Wolf, a researcher in muscle adaptations during resistance training, teams up with Dr. Pak, an exercise science expert, to delve into groundbreaking findings on lengthened partials. They discuss how these partial reps can yield similar muscle growth as full range of motion for trained individuals. The duo emphasizes the significance of training at longer muscle lengths and the necessity for a diverse approach in resistance training. They also highlight the importance of personalized coaching programs for optimizing hypertrophy while maintaining muscle mass.

Fitness experts Milo, Greg, and Pak discuss stretch-mediated hypertrophy, from animal to human studies, implementing lengthened training into workout routines, comparing results with resistance training, and answering audience questions. They explore the impact of longer muscle links on growth, stretching interventions, and the importance of muscle length in achieving hypertrophy. The podcast provides valuable insights on muscle growth strategies and challenges misconceptions in the fitness industry.

Dr. Pak discusses the science behind perfect exercise technique for muscle growth, including the effects of tempo, range of motion, and momentum. They explore the importance of balance between strict form and pushing limits for optimal results, and challenge traditional beliefs about muscle lengthening and momentum in exercises.

Greg, Pak, and Milo engage in impromptu debates on topics like the necessity of the 'big 3' exercises, training to failure for hypertrophy, utilizing sumo deadlifts, old-school bulking, and the benefits of lifting weights for over 60 mins per week. The podcast also features a Battle Royale recap and a Q&A session.

Dr. Milo Wolf, Max Coleman, and Dr. Pak discuss challenges and balance of social media in fitness as evidence-based creators. Are they doing more harm than good? Topics include growing a following, striking the right balance, and navigating the complexities of fitness and social media landscape.

Dr. Pak discusses challenges of science communication in the fitness industry with hosts, including the 'Sagan effect' and academic integrity. They talk about expert creep, gatekeeping, and pseudoscience on social media. The episode also covers the struggles of balancing professionalism with personal expression and financial sustainability in science communication.

Bodybuilding experts Brad Schoenfeld and Dr. Pak discuss gender differences, losing lean mass, maintaining strength, hormonal panels, and more in bodybuilding case studies. They dive into the nuances of competition preparation, varied training methods, testosterone variability, rebound effects, and neuromuscular performance in bodybuilders.

Brad Schoenfeld, Milo Wolf, and Dr. Pak discuss a recent high-volume study, addressing concerns about hypertrophy measurement, junk volume, rest times, escalating volume, and the dose-response relationship with training volume. They provide practical takeaways and delve into the benefits of blood flow restriction training. The speakers also discuss the need for studies comparing training methods and the limitations of studying training volume in isolation. Additionally, they explore the concept of pushing limits through supervised training and express gratitude for the guests on the podcast.
