Fitness M/K fangede for nyligt Brad Schoenfeld, da han var på besøg i København for at holde foredrag arrangeret af Fitness Institute. Brad har på en håndfuld år tilegnet sig status som "Mr. Science", når det kommer til træning og ernæring for muskelvækst. Han er en del af en ny type træningseksperter, der har en blandet praktisk og teoretisk baggrund, og prædiker en grundlæggende videnskabeligt fornuftig tilgangsvinkel. Diskursen om fitness og sundhed har i mange år været præget af folk, der enten selv havde en fortid som elite bodybuilder/fitness atlet, eller som bare havde været god nok til at vælte skamløst, men lækre løgne ud over folk.NB: Programmet er et genudgivet program fra da Fitness M/K blev produceret hos Radio24syv. Programmet blev sendt første gang 2016-10-29.

Brad Schoenfeld, PhD is among the worlds leading researchers in the field of muscle hypertrophy, a tenured professor, and author. Brad is measured and nuanced in his breakdown of popular muscle building beliefs and myths. Brad joins me to share a researched backed breakdown of:-Why we can build muscle with rep ranges outside the classic 8-12 reps. -The benefits of training at different rep ranges. -Are higher reps more fatiguing than low reps.-Is fatigue really a serious issue in training.-What the research really says about volume.-The difference between effective and optimal for training volume.-Are metallic stress and muscle damage relevant to muscle growth.-How muscle memory works.-Does lifting tempo matter.-The frustrating things about muscle hypertrophy Brad sees popular and circulating in the industry.-Plus much more.01:05 Debunking Muscle Building Myths01:40 Research Insights on Rep Ranges03:29 Practical Implications of Training Loads14:44 Volume and Muscle Hypertrophy23:31 Mechanical Tension and Muscle Growth25:25 Introduction to Muscle Hypertrophy Research25:52 Mechanical Tension: The Primary Factor26:16 Metabolic Stress and Muscle Damage29:37 The Role of Satellite Cells31:09 The Pump and Mechanical Tension33:15 Misconceptions in Muscle Hypertrophy34:24 Training Variables and Individual Differences36:40 Eccentric Training and Muscle Damage40:24 Gender Differences in Training Response43:06 Genetic Ceiling and Muscle Memory46:17 Aging and Muscle MaintenanceI've been putting a lot of time and effort into making these new episodes valuable for you.

Efter att i flera månader fått sporadiska frågor kring små pikar och skämt kring Brad Schoenfeld och andra forskare som också är influensers i podden så tar Jacob och Wille tjuren vid hornen med ett helt avsnitt kring vad de menar. Du får höra om de problem och mer kontroversiella delarna kring den grupp av forskare som till stora delar dominerar på sociala medier runt studier på styrketräning. Det är ofta så att möjliga men osäkra hypoteser blir både etablerade fakta och dessutom lyfts det fram som väldigt viktigt för ens utveckling. Samtidigt ges även följarna en bild där alla som på något vis ifrågasätter eller vill tona ner de starka slutsatserna är pseudovetenskapliga personer. Även med den här kritiken så är det viktigt att påpeka att dessa forskare som tar stor plats när det gäller presentation av vetenskap kring styrketräning är kontroversiella ut vissa aspekter så är det inte så att de sprider ren pseudovetenskap vilket annars är vanligt från influensers inom träningsvärlden. På Tyngre Träningssnacks instagram kan du hitta bilder relaterat till detta och tidigare avsnitt.

Today, we're diving into the world of hypertrophy (that's science-speak for muscle growth) and uncovering one of the most powerful principles for packing on size: mechanical tension.Now, if you're a serious lifter or a student of the iron game, you've probably heard of Brad Schoenfeld. He's like the Yoda of muscle-building research, and his work has revolutionized our understanding of what it takes to optimize gains.One of the key concepts that Schoenfeld has championed is the idea that mechanical tension – the force that's generated when our muscles contract against resistance – is the primary driver of hypertrophy.But here's the thing: not all tension is created equal. To really maximize muscle growth, you need to be strategic about the way you apply that tension. And that's where Schoenfeld's research comes in.Learn about mechanical tension on today's Quick Wits!--“Quick Wits” are short mini-episodes between full episodes to give you an actionable strategy or hit of motivation.These mini-episodes give you practical advice on fitness, training, and mindset based on my everyday experience with clients that you can implement right away.If you enjoy these bonus episodes or have feedback on how to make them better, just send me a message on IG @witsandweights or hit me up in the free Wits & Weights Facebook community.Send me a question for Q&A!Support the Show.

How can you focus on muscle and body composition in menopause, specifically gaining muscle and losing fat? How many sets, repetitions, and how much rest should you take? How much can you follow research featuring young athletic men and how should you advocate for yourself when trainers aren't using science based on women? We cover this all today with my guest who is a well-respected and prolific researcher and published author in the field of human performance. Optimizing muscle and body composition in menopause, that is gaining muscle and losing fat is the focus of this episode. A researcher I met personally a decade ago, whose name has become nearly synonymous with any new study on muscle, hypertrophy, and protocols, joins me. Want Stronger Muscles? Let's Talk Muscle and Body Composition in Menopause! Women in midlife are often more susceptible to negative effects of stress. We have a frequent occurrence in our membership of women who are “pushing through” and not actually getting stronger or more fit, because of adrenal insufficiency or a combination of things, we find that less is more, if we can get adequate stimulus during a session and balance that with adequate recovery, we have a better opportunity to improve quality of life for women who need muscle mass and bone density but not at the cost of exhaustion and injury. My Guest: BRAD SCHOENFELD Brad Schoenfeld, PhD, CSCS, CSPS, FNSCA, is a professor of exercise science at Lehman College in the Bronx, New York, where he serves as the graduate director of the Human Performance and Fitness program. He also formerly served as the Sports Nutritionist for the New Jersey Devils hockey organization. Dr. Schoenfeld has published more than 300 peer-reviewed scientific papers on various exercise- and sports nutrition-related topics, and authored the seminal textbook, "Science and Development of Muscle Hypertrophy." He was the recipient of the 2016 Dwight D. Eisenhower Fitness Award, presented by the United States Sports Academy for outstanding achievement in fitness and contributions to the growth and development of sport fitness through outstanding leadership activity, as well as earning the 2018 National Strength and Conditioning Association Young Investigator of the Year Award. His research interest is to optimize body composition (muscle hypertrophy and fat loss) . In particular, his lab studies the manipulation of resistance training variables and their effects on muscular adaptations. QUESTIONS we Cover in this Episode: Why this?

Wille och Jacob diskuterar en nyligen publicerad artikel med titeln ”The dose-response relationship between resistance training volume and muscle hypertrophy: There are still doubts”. På senare år har det via några enstaka studier och inflytesrika personer på nätet byggts upp en bild av att det finns bra evidens för, och starkt koncensus kring, att högre styrketräningsvolym ger mer muskelmassa även när man går förbi säg 8-12 hårda träningsset i veckan. Tre forskar argumenterar dock för att detta inte är accepterad fakta och att slutsatserna i själva verket hänger på några få enstaka studier vars resultat inte passar med andra studier på snarlika träningsmängder och där resultaten i sig är nästan för bra för att vara sanna.

On this week's episode, I'm delighted to be joined by world-renowned exercise science researcher, and one of the most prolific authors in the resistance training field, Dr. Brad Schoenfeld.Dr. Schoenfeld has been a previous guest on our podcast, discussing ways to maximize hypertrophy. You can find that episode HERE. In this week's episode, we had Dr. Schoenfeld on to discuss the importance of training to momentary muscular failure.While we are firm believers at Discover Strength that single-set training to momentary muscular failure is the most time-efficient, and effective strategy to maximize results in minimum time, there are many effective ways to train.The research study we discuss in this episode looks at a recent meta-analysis, comparing different training styles. Some to failure, and some not to failure, to see if there's a benefit to either.While there seems to be some benefit to training shy of failure, specifically for strength athletes, the majority of the training population will not see much if any difference between training to failure versus not training to failure.The biggest difference is the time commitment involved. At Discover Strength, we know busy people don't have time to waste on exercise that doesn't work. And while multi-set, higher volume training, may be effective, it's certainly not time efficient.We discuss how the results of training to failure versus not training to failure are essentially negligible. So for clients, listeners, and trainees, looking to maximize results in minimum time, single-set resistance training taken to momentary muscle failure, seems to be a great strategy, backed by the research, and proven to be effective!If you or someone you know is interested in trying out a FREE Discover Strength Introductory workout, please send them our way!Send any inquiries HERE to get scheduled for a FREE Introductory Session today to take the first step towards getting your life back.Check out the paper HERE.Link to Brad's Books HERE.Link to Brad's Blog mentioned HERE.Schedule your FREE Introductory Workout Session in studio or online by following the link HERE.
By this point, you know that physical activity is essential -- but how do you start?! Let's tackle the thing many people avoid or do wrong - strength training. Today we talk with Kevin Cory who is the owner of Experienced Fitness gym and a professional trainer. Here are Kevin's recommended sources of information ( I have not vetted them): Brad Schoenfeld, PhD website: https://www.lookgreatnaked.com/ Twitter: https://experts.mcmaster.ca/display/phillis Twitter: https://www.billcampbellphd.com/ Find out how you can make meaningful, tangible, durable improvements to your sleep and health at cprhealthclinic.com Schedule a free consult. (Below is a portion of the AI-generated transcript. If you want the whole thing, become a site member for free.at cprhealthclinic.com) Kevin Cory: I feel like there's no single person who would not benefit by having more strength and working out with weights. Dr Sagar: Hello everyone. Today we're gonna do something a little different for this podcast. I've been hearing from people, and it seems like many folks have trouble with the actual initiation of a physical activity program, and on top of that, they're a bit intimidated by it, especially when it comes to resistance training or strength training. We had a prior episode with Dr. Franklin, a renowned exercise physiologist, and he thought that cardio was priority number one, and strength was priority number two, but even he. Had trouble doing the ladder. So I've brought someone in that I've known for many years and who has spent the last 14 years helping people of all walks improve physical performance. His name's Kevin Cory Corey, and he owns the boutique gym in Westville, Ohio, known as Experience Fitness. He's also a personal trainer thanks for being here today. Kevin Cory: Thank you. I appreciate Thanks for having me. Dr. Sagar: Of course. first off, I'd like to ask people, what is your definition of health? Kevin Cory: Yeah, so I think of health , as various biomarkers, various health biomarkers, cholesterol, blood pressure, A one C, your risk for Dr. Sagar: I. Kevin Cory: but also I think of it as strength and muscle mass as well. We've all heard about blood pressure, cholesterol. These are risk factors for disease, for dying early. But when it comes to strength, that's a rarely talked about subject. If you, as we all age, we all lose strength and muscle mass unless we intervene with strength training. And as you age, you lose muscle mass. You also lose bone density. lose the ability to control your body as well. So having more Dr. Sagar: Mm. Kevin Cory: allows you to move your body easier. It allows you to have denser bones. So should you actually ever fall, may not your femur or your hip. you may just merely get, a bruise, hopefully. so strength is one of those things. , I'm very passionate about that, that people should be doing more often. I feel like there's no single person who would not benefit by having more strength and working out with weights. Dr. Sagar: Yeah, and that's a really good point. We don't typically talk about strength. Anytime a person talks about exercise, number of one thing they're talking about is walking or running, possibly bicycling, maybe even swimming. And it's hardly ever talked about resistance training. That's an interesting take on things. So I gotta ask you, how did that become a focus of yours? what's the role of fitness in your life? And then how did that transition into bringing that passion to other people? I. Kevin Cory: I grew up in a household where fitness was a high priority. My mother stayed in shape. My father was a bodybuilder. He was the amateur bodybuilder here in Ohio.

This week on the "Discover Strength Podcast" I had the privilege of sitting down with world renowned exercise scientist Dr. Brad Schoenfeld.Dr. Schoenfeld is widely regarded as the world's leading expert on strength and hypertrophy. He's published well over 300 papers and multiple best selling fitness books. His work has been cited over 1,000,000 times on Researchgate, and he's been a highly sought after keynote speaker at exercise conferences around the world.Dr. Schoenfeld joined me this week to discuss his recently published position stand for the IUSCA (International Universities Strength and Conditioning Association) "Resistance Training Recommendations to Maximize Muscle Hypertrophy in an Athletic Population: Position Stand of the IUSCA". The paper outlines the six most important factors to maximize muscular growth and what the research has to say about how to optimize this change in an athletic population. With little regard for time investment, this paper is still a fascinating look at how to get the absolute most out of your human potential.Though very impractical from a time investment standpoint, this position stand still offers many fascinating insights on optimizing muscle growth. What's of more interest to our listeners in the second paper we discuss, also published this year, entitled "No Time to Lift? Designing Time-Efficient Training Programs for Strength and Hypertrophy: A Narrative Review". This paper has many more practical applications to our listeners as it targets the general population as opposed to athletes. It also focuses on what will give trainees the most "bang for their buck" from a strength and hypertrophy perspective in regards to abbreviated training.For long time clients, you may not be surprised to hear that many of the recommendations in this paper sound eerily similar to what you already do on a regular basis in your own Discover Strength workouts. Workout hard, brief, and infrequent, and you'll get the vast majority of the hypertrophy and strength benefits that resistance training has to offer.Please like and subscribe to the "Discover Strength Podcast", and help us spread the word of smart, efficient, evidence based exercise.Are you or someone you know an exercise professional?

In this week's episode of the Discover Strength Podcast, I had the chance to sit down with Ph.D. candidate Daniel Plotkin. Daniel received his Master's from the world-renowned exercise science lab at Lehman College in New York, under the instruction of Dr. Brad Schoenfeld. Daniel is currently pursuing his Ph.D. at one of the premier physiology labs in the world at Auburn University under Dr. Michael Roberts.We were lucky enough to have Daniel join us this week to discuss a paper he spearheaded for his Master's thesis on progressive overload. Our listeners will be familiar with this term which typically means incremental increases in weight, reps, or both from workout to workout. Daniel's thesis focused on another less common means of overloading the musculature: simply increasing reps, each and every workout.Subjects in his study completed lower body training either progressing in a traditional fashion (keeping the rep range the same, or increasing load after completing beyond that range) or keeping the weight the same the entire study period and simply trying to perform more reps each time they exercised.This program of progressive overload without progressing the load is another great reminder that rep range and weight are not nearly as important for increases in strength and hypertrophy, as simply working with a high level of intensity. Daniel and I discuss the takeaways from this paper, its implications for your own training, and what else we can expect from him in the future.We know you'll enjoy this episode on progressive overload without progressing the load, and we look forward to having Daniel back on the podcast in the future.

In this week's episode of the Discover Strength Podcast, I had the pleasure of sitting down with a young up-and-comer in the field of exercise science to discuss drop set training.Max Coleman is a Master's student at Lehman College in New York, under the tutelage of Dr. Brad Schoenfeld. He's already starting to make a name for himself in the strength and conditioning space and we were lucky to have him join us today. We discussed a recent meta-analysis that Max spearheaded comparing traditional multi-set training versus what's referred to as "drop set" training.While the term "drop set" is not properly defined in the exercise science literature, Max's paper does a good job of defining a working definition: "... the strategy is typically performed by taking an exercise to (or close to) momentary failure followed by immediate reductions in load (i.e., minimal to no rest between the drops in weight) and then performing as many additional repetitions as possible (29). Depending on the protocol, a single, or multiple “drops” (i.e., reductions) in the load can be performed either on some or all sets."It's something our listeners or clients may have done in their own workouts. Typically designated with a total number of repetitions as a "breakdown set" (i.e. 20-rep breakdown, 30-rep breakdown, etc.). There are many ways to do a drop set, but this analysis looked to compare the effectiveness or this advanced technique versus a more traditional multi-set training approach.Max and I discuss the types of papers included, why a study like this is important, and what this type of training design can tell us about the intensity of effort in a set. (Working harder for a shorter time, versus doing a traditional multi-set training approach.)This episode is filled with great information comparing single versus multi-set training and why something like drop sets, might be a great addition to your current routine.Keep an eye out for more coming from Max in the future. He's currently in the process of putting together a first-of-it's-kind study on "Deloads" in conjunction with Dr. Brad Schoenfeld and Dr. PAK, both former guests of the Discover Strength Podcast.Check out the meta-analysis that Max led HERE.If you or someone you know is interested in trying a FREE Discover Strength Introductory workout, please send them our way!

In this week's episode of the Discover Strength Podcast, we are excited to continue with our Exercise Myths and Misconceptions Mini-Series with Dr. James Fisher and Discover Strength CEO, Luke Carlson. We'll discuss another prevalent myth in the fitness industry: the idea that "more is better" when it comes to exercise and results.These two friends and colleagues were kind enough to sit down and discuss, in their own words, some of the most pervasive myths still running rampant in our industry. While there are plenty to choose from, we decided to focus on the myths and misconceptions from our very first podcast ever with Dr. Fisher (HERE).This five-part mini-series will cover some of the most widespread myths and misconceptions and hopefully set the record straight on some of these topics once and for all.Our fifth and final episode focuses on the ideal training frequency for resistance training. We hope to once and for all breakdown and dispel the common notion that "more is better". We'll look at what the research actually has to say regarding frequency. We'll also look at how recovery should factor into your workout frequency, and finally, we'll discuss why the "more is better" archetype simply doesn't apply to proper resistance training.Dr. Fisher has conducted some of the definitive work on ideal exercise frequency. Along with his colleagues, Dr. James Steele, Dr. PAK, and Dr. Brad Schoenfeld (all previous podcast guests), they have collectively or individually published numerous papers on this exact topic of the ideal exercise frequency.Like many things in the fitness industry, we are often led to believe that more is better because it allows fitness influencers and charlatans to sell complicated programs for what need naught be that complicated. The ideal exercise frequency is typically anywhere from 1-3x/week. The key factor is all about the intensity of effort in the individual workout, and how you recover outside of your workouts.We need to consider things like stress, not just from exercise, but from life, and how those things influence your recovery ability. If you want to learn more about proper recovery and how to maximize it, check out our previous episode with NYT-Best Selling Author Christie Aschwanden (HERE).The reality is one to three full-body workouts per week, with a high level of intensity of effort, is more than enough for MOST people. We don't need MORE exercise, we need smarter, harder, more efficient exercise.If you or someone you know is interested in trying a FREE Discover Strength Introductory workout, please send them our way!

How does strength training differ from hypertrophy training? How much overlap is there? In other words, will strength training get you bigger? Likewise, will hypertrophy training make you stronger? If you want to maximize strength gains, how should your training program look? Can you build a healthy, muscular physique with just strength training or do you also need accessory movements? And if you are training more like a powerlifter, how much volume is necessary to get stronger? These are common questions I get about strength versus hypertrophy training, and in this podcast, I invited Dr. Brad Schoenfeld to dive into the science of training for strength compared to lifting with the goal of gaining muscle size. He's the perfect guest for the topic, because he was recently involved a narrative review of the science of maximizing strength. Brad practically needs no introduction, but in case you're not familiar with him, he's an internationally renowned fitness expert, author, educator, lecturer, and researcher, who's published over 200 peer-reviewed research articles on exercise and sports nutrition. He's truly an authority on all things related to body composition, hypertrophy, fat loss, and natural bodybuilding. In this interview, Brad and I discuss . . . The role of rep ranges for achieving strength goals and how training with heavier and lighter loads may have additive effects Why 1RM calculators don't always accurately predict your true strength The usefulness of machines compared to free weights Compound versus isolation exercises and how to adjust your training to your specific circumstances and goals Whether deadlifts are overrated or underrated for hypertrophy How specificity is often overemphasized in strength training “Strength endurance” and how it's more practical for everyday activities than maximal strength Set intensity and training to failure The role of age in strength training and how your age factors into your programing And a lot more . . . So whether you're a seasoned lifter or just starting, tune in to learn how to optimize your training for strength and hypertrophy goals, and let me know your thoughts! --- Timestamps: 0:00 - Please leave a review of the show wherever you listen to podcasts and make sure to subscribe! 2:43 - What is the difference between getting strong and having bigger muscles? 31:07 - Save up to 30% on Legion Health Supplements this week only! buylegion.com 32:17 - What is set intensity and proximity to muscular failure? 46:12 - What are your thoughts on strength training as you get older? 51:00 - What are your thoughts on the one rep max test and how necessary are they? 54:17 - Where can people find you and your work? --- Mentioned on the Show: Go to buylegion.com and save 20% to 30% during my Health Supplement sale this week only!

In this installment of the Best of Muscle For Life, you'll hear hand-picked clips from three popular MFL episodes: an interview with Brad Schoenfeld on the science of time-efficient training, a monologue on the “best” workout split for gaining muscle, and a Motivation Monday episode on how the Stockdale Paradox can change your life. Some people—my favorite people—listen to most or even all of my podcasts, but my wizbang analytics tell me that while many listeners tune in on a regular basis, they don't catch every installment of Muscle for Life and thus miss out on insights that could help them do at least a little better inside and outside the gym. That's why I do “best of” episodes that contain a few of the most practical and compelling ideas, tips, and moments from the more popular episodes I've published over the years. This way, you can learn interesting insights that you might have otherwise missed and find new episodes of the show to listen to.

Welcome back to another season of The Discover Strength Podcast!On this week's episode, I'm delighted to be joined by world-renowned exercise science researcher, and one of the most prolific authors in the resistance training field, Dr. Brad Schoenfeld.Dr. Schoenfeld has been a previous guest on our podcast, discussing ways to maximize hypertrophy. You can find that episode HERE. In this week's episode, we had Dr. Schoenfeld on to discuss the importance of training to momentary muscular failure.While we are firm believers at Discover Strength that single-set training to momentary muscular failure is the most time-efficient, and effective strategy to maximize results in minimum time, there are many effective ways to train.The research study we discuss in this episode looks at a recent meta-analysis, comparing different training styles. Some to failure, and some not to failure, to see if there's a benefit to either.While there seems to be some benefit to training shy of failure, specifically for strength athletes, the majority of the training population will not see much if any difference between training to failure versus not training to failure.The biggest difference is the time commitment involved. At Discover Strength, we know busy people don't have time to waste on exercise that doesn't work. And while multi-set, higher volume training, may be effective, it's certainly not time efficient.We discuss how the results of training to failure versus not training to failure are essentially negligible. So for clients, listeners, and trainees, looking to maximize results in minimum time, single-set resistance training taken to momentary muscle failure, seems to be a great strategy, backed by the research, and proven to be effective!If you or someone you know is interested in trying out a FREE Discover Strength Introductory workout, please send them our way!Send any inquiries HERE to get scheduled for a FREE Introductory Session today to take the first step towards getting your life back.Check out the paper HERE.Link to Brad's Books HERE.Link to Brad's Blog mentioned HERE.Schedule your FREE Introductory Workout Session in studio or online by following the link HERE.
Found My Fitness - Rhonda Patrick Podcast Notes Key Takeaways “If I were to pick one activity that's indispensable, it would be resistance training.” – Dr. Brad SchoenfeldAerobic exercise will improve the cardiovascular system but will do little to improve strength, muscle development, bone density, and muscle hypertrophyResistance training is an important supplement for reducing calories to lose weight – if you do not lift weights, you will lose muscle as you lose body fatAdequate protein intake is essential for muscle synthesis and maintenance Shoot for 1.6-1.8g/kg body weight if resistance training and a minimum 0.8g/kg body weight if sedentaryCombine different concepts and types of training: resistance training, power, cardio, plyometricsWhen considering rest periods between sets, the ability to perform volume load is more important than optimizing hormones through rest lengthIt's beneficial to give a muscle 48 hours to recover before training again – training sooner won't blunt hypertrophy because some muscles may not respond well to high training frequencyYou can lift lighter loads at higher volumes and still experience gains in muscle but intensity matters! The last few reps need to feel hardDosing resistance training: To maximize hypertrophy: 10-20 sets per muscle, per weekMinimum effective dose to gain muscle: 4 sets per muscle, per weekThe most important thing is to be in tune with your body – if you need a day off, take itRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgDr. Brad Schoenfeld is a professor at Lehman College in the Bronx, in New York City.
