Welcome to the tailored life podcast, the one and only fitness and nutrition

podcast that goes way beyond just training and nutrition and helps you create a life

by design.

I am your host, Cody McBroom, and today I have the one and only Mike Israel to tell.

Mike has been on this podcast multiple times, and he is full of so much information and he does a

really good job at breaking down scientific research in not only an informative and practical way,

but a hilarious way. He is one of the most punny guys I have ever met. He has tons of analogies that he's

constantly going on with. And it's actually quite fucking hilarious to listen to him while

learning about some very educative stuff. So I'm really excited about him coming on the podcast over and over

again. And we've repurposed some of his content because it's always some of the best content

we put out because he gets straight to the point.

He answers questions really well and he has a lot of science to back up his claims.

Mike Isritzell holds a PhD in sports physiology and he is currently the head science consultant for Renaissance periodization.

Renaissance periodization is a very well-known company for what they do in the fitness educative space.

I've had almost every one of their top people on the podcast.

You guys are probably familiar with them, even if you didn't hear about Renaissance

periodization before us.

But today we're going to dive into hypertrophy, specifically the fundamentals and the basics

of hypertrophy.

So when it comes to building muscle, training, nutrition, all that, what do you need to know?

What are the things that you cannot live without when it comes to building muscle in achieving maximal hypertrophy?

That's what we're going to lay out today.
