In this interview podcast, Kayla Barnes-Lentz speaks with Dr. Brad Schoenfeld, a leading researcher in muscle hypertrophy, about the importance of strength training for overall health, including its effects on bone density, metabolic health, and mental well-being. They discuss various aspects of resistance training, such as the best exercises for different goals (strength, hypertrophy, power), the role of mechanical tension, metabolic stress, and muscle damage in muscle growth, and the importance of mind-muscle connection. They also touch on nutrition, specifically protein intake and pre- and post-workout fueling, as well as the use of creatine. Dr. Schoenfeld emphasizes the importance of consistency and proper effort in training and debunks common myths about women getting bulky from lifting weights.
