In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, my guest is Dr. Andy Galpin, PhD, Executive Director of the Human Performance Center at Parker University and an expert in building strength and muscle size (hypertrophy). We cover the core principles and protocols for building strength and muscle, including science-based guidance on reps, sets, frequency and rest intervals. We also discuss how breathing and mental focus can enhance training and how post-workout downregulation can speed recovery.Read the show notes at hubermanlab.com.Subscribe to Perform with Dr. Andy Galpin at performpodcast.com.Thank you to our sponsorsAG1: https://drinkag1.com/hubermanLMNT: https://drinklmnt.com/hubermanEight Sleep: https://eightsleep.com/hubermanTimestamps(((((((((((((((((Disclaimer & Disclosures Learn more about your ad choices.
