Brad Schoenfeld

Welcome back to another season of The Discover Strength Podcast!On this week's episode, I'm delighted to be joined by world-renowned exercise science researcher, and one of the most prolific authors in the resistance training field, Dr. Brad Schoenfeld.Dr. Schoenfeld has been a previous guest on our podcast, discussing ways to maximize hypertrophy. You can find that episode HERE. In this week's episode, we had Dr. Schoenfeld on to discuss the importance of training to momentary muscular failure.While we are firm believers at Discover Strength that single-set training to momentary muscular failure is the most time-efficient, and effective strategy to maximize results in minimum time, there are many effective ways to train.The research study we discuss in this episode looks at a recent meta-analysis, comparing different training styles. Some to failure, and some not to failure, to see if there's a benefit to either.While there seems to be some benefit to training shy of failure, specifically for strength athletes, the majority of the training population will not see much if any difference between training to failure versus not training to failure.The biggest difference is the time commitment involved. At Discover Strength, we know busy people don't have time to waste on exercise that doesn't work. And while multi-set, higher volume training, may be effective, it's certainly not time efficient.We discuss how the results of training to failure versus not training to failure are essentially negligible. So for clients, listeners, and trainees, looking to maximize results in minimum time, single-set resistance training taken to momentary muscle failure, seems to be a great strategy, backed by the research, and proven to be effective!If you or someone you know is interested in trying out a FREE Discover Strength Introductory workout, please send them our way!Send any inquiries HERE to get scheduled for a FREE Introductory Session today to take the first step towards getting your life back.Check out the paper HERE.Link to Brad's Books HERE.Link to Brad's Blog mentioned HERE.Schedule your FREE Introductory Workout Session in studio or online by following the link HERE.

Found My Fitness - Rhonda Patrick Podcast Notes Key Takeaways “If I were to pick one activity that’s indispensable, it would be resistance training.” – Dr. Brad SchoenfeldAerobic exercise will improve the cardiovascular system but will do little to improve strength, muscle development, bone density, and muscle hypertrophyResistance training is an important supplement for reducing calories to lose weight – if you do not lift weights, you will lose muscle as you lose body fatAdequate protein intake is essential for muscle synthesis and maintenance Shoot for 1.6-1.8g/kg body weight if resistance training and a minimum 0.8g/kg body weight if sedentaryCombine different concepts and types of training: resistance training, power, cardio, plyometricsWhen considering rest periods between sets, the ability to perform volume load is more important than optimizing hormones through rest lengthIt’s beneficial to give a muscle 48 hours to recover before training again – training sooner won’t blunt hypertrophy because some muscles may not respond well to high training frequencyYou can lift lighter loads at higher volumes and still experience gains in muscle but intensity matters! The last few reps need to feel hardDosing resistance training: To maximize hypertrophy: 10-20 sets per muscle, per weekMinimum effective dose to gain muscle: 4 sets per muscle, per weekThe most important thing is to be in tune with your body – if you need a day off, take itRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgDr. Brad Schoenfeld is a professor at Lehman College in the Bronx, in New York City.

How does being sore after a workout contribute to your success?  How can you utilize eccentric loading and isometric training for hypertrophy?  Plus... will glycogen depletion hinder anabolic signaling? Today's episode debunks the many myths and misnomers of building muscle.  We are joined by Dr. Brad Schoenfeld, a renowned fitness expert, who is widely regarded as one of the leading authorities on body composition training. Dr. Brad Schoenfeld's PhD thesis focused on clarifying the mechanisms of muscle hypertrophy, and their applications to resistance training; he is also a lifelong drug-free bodybuilder.  Both muscle-building fanatics and novices have a lot to gain from Dr. Schoenfeld's expertise. You'll learn: What causes muscle soreness and how much is TOO much. How to balance heavy lifting with health and wellness. When to utilize full vs partial ROM in your training. How to maximize hypertrophy in the isometric, concentric, and eccentric movement phases. The ONE guaranteed driver of muscle growth.
