Hello, folks. Welcome back to the The Whoop podcast. I'm your host, Will Ahmed, founder and CEO of Whoop.

We're on a mission to unlock human performance. This week's episode, Woop VP of Performance,

our fearless principal scientist, Kristen Holmes Holmes is joined by fitness expert Brad

Schoenfeld. Brad is widely regarded as one of the leading authorities on body composition training.

He's a lifetime drug-free bodybuilder and has won numerous natural bodybuilding titles.

Brad is the best-selling author of multiple fitness books, including

the Max Muscle Plan, which is widely referred to as the Muscle Building Bible, and Strong and

Sculpt, which details a cutting-edge body sculpting program targeted to women. In total, Brad's books

have sold over a half million copies. Kristen and Brad will discuss the definition of muscle hypertrophy and resistance training.

They also touch on the benefits of both and how it impacts your short and long-term health.

How to create and get started on a resistance training program.

Workout recommendations for various age groups. Did you know children as young as

five or six can lift weights if properly supervised? I didn't know that. The optimal recovery

times for muscle groups, how to balance your nutritional and cardio needs with a resistance

training program and the idea of progressive overload.

I'm also excited to share we've got a whole new slate of whoop blue light blocking glasses.

That's right. They're back. They're in stock. We got new ones.

We've also got a new fully adjustable sleep mask.

The benefits of blue light blocking glasses are that they increase your recovery.

I'm obsessed with them. I've

been wearing them for years. They truly improve your recovery, your sleep. You wear them 30 to 90 minutes

before bed and you just feel way better getting into bed. If you're looking to join Woop, you can sign up for
