You can grow muscle at pretty much any rep range.

So it used to be thought that hypertrophy was the 8 to 12 range.

Strength was 3 to 5 and muscle endurance was like, I don't know, 15 plus where I can't count.

You can use these rep ranges however you like.

Dr. Brandon Roberts, welcome back, man.

Every time we get on here, I'm like, I feel like it's been a minute.

But I guess it's just because we know each other so well now that even if it's just a month, it seems like it's been a while.

So I'm excited to have you back on to talk shop, man. Yeah, yeah, talked to you, but then I look at my text. I'm like, actually, I texted him last week. It's totally fine. Yeah. Yeah. It's pretty often. So, um, but today we're going to dive into hypertrophy, um, amongst other things. We'll see where the rants take us. So this is actually going to be cool. Cause I think a lot of times we structure the hell out of these. And I think it'll be cool today to just kind of have a conversation on some of these topics. Because people really enjoy rants, it seems like, on the podcast. They enjoy the coaching rants.

And they always enjoy our more casual conversations where we just start kind of going in little tangents and talking about different things.

And there was a few different aspects we wanted to touch on regarding hyperch fee because some new research has been coming out on what might be optimal

Training wise when it comes to hypertrophy and I think there's a few things that we can kind of pick out of it that I would love to pick your brain on

Kind of throw some ideas at you that I've been playing around with in my own training as well as with some of my clients

And then of course I'm getting ready to step on stage, which I said I would never do,

but decided I was going to do it.

It's been in the back of my mind for a minute and I've always wanted to.

And I was like, you know what, based on like where life's at and the trajectory of like business

and schedule and all this stuff, I think it's a good time.

So let's go for it. So I'm excited, but we can kind of pick apart some of the, maybe some of the diet and exercise aspects, what the science

shows, what to expect, so on and so forth. But first, man, what has been up and coming with

hypertrophy research? I know you said there's been a few different things as far as volume and some of the stretch-based talk that

I've mentioned multiple times in the podcast.

So what's been on your mind?
