Welcome to the tailored life podcast, the one and only fitness and nutrition podcast that goes way beyond just training and nutrition.

I'm your host, Cody McGrume, and today I have a special guest, Dr. Eric Trexler.

This is a second time coming on the show. He is a coach, a researcher. He is

one of the head honchos over at Stronger by Science, which is an extremely well-known

to the type of coaching we all do. So this is his second round. Last time we talked about metabolic

It was about two years ago, I think I had them on the podcast. So it's been a while, but we've been in touch ever since.

And this is just a good chance for us to catch up and dive into some new and updated topics that he's been diving into as far as the research goes.

So today we're going to discuss a little bit about periodization for hypertrophy and whether

or not that even matters.

We're going to talk about P ratio and everything pertain to that.

There was some research that came out on that.

There's a lot of debates on whether P ratio even matters right now.

And I'm going to let him explain exactly what that is and why that matters to you when you

are somebody searching for more muscle
