Summary
Christopher Fry is an Associate Professor with tenure in the Department of Athletic Training and Clinical Nutrition and the Co-Director for the Center for Muscle Biology at the University of Kentucky.
Chris completed a B.S. in Biology at Baylor University (2006), Ph.D. in biomedical sciences at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB, 2011) and postdoctoral training in muscle physiology at the University of Kentucky (2014).
Chris’s research focuses on elucidating the mechanisms that regulate skeletal muscle plasticity to establish interventions to maintain strength and function during conditions of muscle wasting.
Over the course of his career, he has created a focused research program that bridges targeted mechanistic approaches to clinical translation.
Chris's work spans the translational spectrum, from targeted genetic strategies in pre-clinical models to randomized controlled trials. He has competed as an amateur bodybuilder and enjoys working out, traveling, cooking and spending time with his wife and son.

| 0:00.0 | Shug family this week on barbell shrug Dr. Christopher Fry is coming into the show. |
| 0:05.0 | He is going to teach us. We're going to take the deep dive into all things muscle |
| 0:09.3 | plasticity. For many people you may have heard of like brain plasticity and how your brain is always able to mold to whatever new is going on or adapt to whatever stimulus is coming into it. |
| 0:20.2 | Sometimes I think about it on the physiological side of things as well, but today we're going to be digging into specifically muscle plasticity. |
| 0:26.0 | Essentially, how do you grow more muscle faster while you're in the gym? |
| 0:30.0 | What do you need on the recovery side, the nutrition side, and then what are the mechanics that are in play that actually allow you to speed up the process of building muscle? |
| 0:39.0 | As always friends, make sure you get over to rapid health report.com. That is where Dan Garner and Dr. Andy Galperner |
| 0:44.4 | doing a free lab lifestyle and performance analysis |
| 0:47.5 | and you can access that free report over at rapid health report. |
| 0:51.3 | friend let's get into the show. |
| 0:55.4 | Welcome to Marlboro Shug. |
| 0:56.4 | I'm Manders Marner, Doug Larson, Coach Travis, |
| 0:58.2 | Smash, Dr. Christopher Fry. |
| 0:59.5 | Welcome to the show, man. |
| 1:00.4 | This is fantastic. |
| 1:02.0 | Today on Barbell Shug, we're going to be talking about how we get more out of lifting weights. How do we build more muscle? |
| 1:08.0 | You said an awesome word that I'd love to, but the plasticity of muscle. |
| 1:15.7 | Yeah. |
| 1:16.7 | We're gonna have to dig into that for sure. |
| 1:18.6 | What, I'd love if you could just kind of break down what that means and really like how the layman can go to the gym |
| 1:26.7 | and understand that concept. No, that's fantastic. I appreciate the opportunity to be here. |
| 1:31.5 | Thank you all for having me on the show today. |
