Thank you guys for tuning in to the on-it podcast. This week's guest is Dr.

Andy Galpin. Dr. Andy Galpin is a buddy of mine. I met at XPT in Malibu with

Laird Hamilton, Gabby Reese, and Brian McKinsey. He's a phenomenal guy. He knows a ton of stuff on muscle as that's what he does.

He's a researcher and a scientist. He's a professor at Cal State Fullerton and he just released

his new book Unplugged, co-authored by Brian McKinsey and Phil White.

There's a wealth of knowledge in there. I hope you guys enjoy this podcast as much as I did.

Thank you very much for joining us. We got our man, Dr. Andy Galpin here with us today. You know, we have a shorter

format show so I'm going to try to grind through as much awesome bullet points for people

and takeaways as possible to dive deeper and I mentioned

this too when I had Rob Wolf on you had an excellent excellent podcast with Joe

Rogan he's got the three-hour show he can dive a little deeper there yeah

makes more sense if you want

full background and all that but what's your background what do you do for a living so I am

the director for the Center for Sport Performance at Cal State Fullerton, and I'm the

founder and director of what's called the Biochemistry and molecular exercise

physiology lab and that's the fancy way to say I'm a scientist, I'm a teacher and

I conduct and disseminate research in the areas of human performance.

So specifically muscle, but that's what I do.

Hell yeah.

Yeah. So you tell us about the background though, like growing up before you got into that.

Because you have some some

training lifting weights a little bit yeah yeah I grew up in a really small country
