Summary

Samuel Buckner, PhD, is an assistant professor of exercise science at the University of South Florida. Dr. Buckner is director of the University of South Florida Muscle Laboratory. His research group’s primary focus is on skeletal muscle adaptations to resistance exercise. Specifically, the USF Muscle Laboratory is interested in the influence that exercise-induced increases in muscle size have on exercise-induced increases in muscle strength. In addition, the lab studies low-load alternatives to traditional resistance exercise (with and without the application of blood flow restriction), and the applications these methods may have on various populations. Dr. Buckner has published over 100 papers in peer-reviewed journals.

In this episode we discuss:

  • How to reduce the amount of time you spend in the gym
  • Is it harder to grow muscle the more you train?
  • Should you lift with more weight or less?
  • The ideal amount of training to stimulate muscle growth

This episode is brought to you by Apollo Neuro, Paleovalley, InsideTracker, and 1stPhorm

Welcome to the Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show, where I believe a healthy world is based on transparent

0:08.5

conversations. In today's podcast, I interview Dr. Samuel Buckner. He's a PhD, an assistant

0:20.5

professor of exercise science in the

0:22.8

College of Education at the University of South Florida. Dr. Buckner is the director of the

0:28.6

University of South Florida Muscle Laboratory. This sounds like my personal heaven. His research

0:35.3

group primarily focuses on skeletal muscle adaptations to resistance

0:39.3

exercise, specifically the USF muscle laboratory, which is a mouthful, is interested in the

0:47.9

influence that exercise induced increases in muscle size have on exercise induced increases in muscle strength. So basically,

0:57.7

he looks at hypertrophy, how to grow muscles, and what does that mean for strength? This guy

1:06.0

is really an amazing scientist. He's published over 100 papers in peer-reviewed journals. He's

1:13.2

very well respected. His lab right now is interested in the time course of skeletal muscle growth

1:19.6

and how imaging techniques can be used to best detect the presence of this growth. Really fine

1:25.6

scientists. I think you're going to get a lot of value and you're going to hear things that you have

1:30.2

not heard before.

1:31.8

My goal for you is to bridge the gap between medicine and fitness and really looking at

1:37.3

muscle as the organ of longevity.

1:39.4

If you like this podcast, it would mean so much to me to subscribe, rate, leave a comment. Again, this is for you.

1:47.9

And any support that you feel called to give the podcast is really, really valuable.

1:54.0

I don't take your time lightly. And I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy bringing it to you.

1:59.5

I'm super grateful for the Apollo wearable sponsoring this

2:04.4

episode of the podcast. I am obsessed with the Apollo wearable. Okay, so what is this? Well, it is a

2:11.5

small device that you can either wear on your wrist or your ankle if you like to look like you are on house arrest. But anyway,
