The Catalyst to Hypertrophy with Dr. Brad Schoenfeld

[@boydhooper4080]

Great discussion guys. Ben don’t interrupt your guests. You interrupted Brad many times in the middle of sentences. That’s bad form. Still it was a great discussion👍

[@Eudaimonia88]

Ben is a great guy but he tends to be desperate to prove a point with interviewees. Someone like Brad Schoenfeld speaks slowly and clearly and he explains technical terms for viewers who may not be conversant with scientific terms. Ben on the other hand, races through his sentences, swallows half of his words, interrupts Brad and speaks using a terminology that isn't even always scientifically correct in the context of what he is talking about. But he races ahead and uses the language anyway. This may not be noticeable to those who don't know any different but those who do, well, they gasp and go: ouch!! My feeling is that Ben would rather now be seen as a serious man of science than a "former bodybuilder". And his anxiety to shake off the latter image does show!! Stay within your limitations, Ben! Stay humble, man!

Could not agree more, I was hoping I wasn't the only one thinking this. It is uncomfortable to listen to at times. He throws things around like parasympathetic nervous system etc that Brad essentially ignores because there is almost no evidence for what he's saying. Keeps talking about such stupidly intricate things that literally have not been proven in the literature and definitely comes off as a try-hard scientist i.e. a pseudo scientist

@@Eudaimonia88 why don’t you educate yourself instead of expecting Ben to hand you everything in a silver platter? Him spending his time on this podcast don’t enough for you huh? What else does Ben have to do to satisfy you? Being the most knowledgeable bodybuilder in the planet isn’t enough?

[@hong-enlin4651]

I see your point but they were going back and forth through pretty interesting stuff here

[@CALISUPERSPORT]

Brad is used to talking to bro scientists he's actually pretty gracious and precise in correcting them

[@dualShockRK98]

Awesome podcast. Please invite Chris Beardsley next, he is also super damn amazing. Would love to hear him as well!!!

Very interesting discussion. About soreness, i typically don’t get much soreness but i’ve noticed that when i eat low carbs i often get sore. Usually i do resistance training in the morning and most days i hike or do low intensity cardio like steep walking in the afternoon. Low carbs for me are about 50g carbs. If i do heavy resistance upper body in the morning and then walking in the afternoon in the low carb state and go to sleep then i often get soreness in my legs the following day. It is interesting that i get soreness in my legs and not upper body because my legs are well trained. Has soreness been connected to a low carbs or training in glycogen depleted state?

[@mertonhirsch4734]

Soreness is pretty much established at this point to be due to lymphatic vessels that are swollen with lymphatic waste products from the immune system 1-2 days after training. It demonstrates that the immune response responsible for protein remodeling has been activated but some muscles have less surrounding lymphatic vessels or less sensitivity.

Great podcast! I've noticed the most important function of my own training in results is form, and place the maximum amount of stretch I can get with a muscle under a targeted manner to stress it. There's something about keep the muscle in the stretched portion and you don't even need to move it through a full range of motion through the top...just moving it from that max stretch to maybe half way through a rep and back to the stretch has gotten me results I didn't even think we're possible. This is all with the assumption you train very close to failure.

This was a wonderful conversation. I had given up on listening to “science based” hypertrophy due to many many annoying dogmatic ppl, and idiot youtubers. But this really got me thinking.

Max Muscle 2 is on its way today (from amazon) cant wait to check it out!

[@DrinkingStar]

Hypertrophy may be associated with lowering the pH of the muscle cell such that the change in the pH causes the steroidal hormone receptors become denatured(changing the shape) enabling the hormone to attach to the receptor. Bodybuilders have larger muscles than powerlifters because bodybuilders produce higher levels of carbonic acid and lactic acid than powerlifters. Those doing aerobic exercise have resting levels of lactic acid and carbonic acid. This would explain how hormones "recognize" the exercised muscles. This explains why, even though the hormones are going equally to both sides of the body, all the muscles don't grow if only one group of muscles is exercised . There are 2 studies that I am aware of that looked at nitrogen uptake(aka muscle growth), as an aside, with serum lactate levels.

Worth watching 👌

[@ollie5300]

I read recently that the reason behind muscle soreness isn't muscle damage. It's actually the nerve endings within the muscle being sore from being squeezed by the muscle around it contracting.

[@willthomas5953]

I believe it

Canyou just stop interrupting the interview
