About this podcast

Dive into a masterclass on fitness with Dr. Andy Galpin, a leading expert in kinesiology, as he joins Dr. Andrew Huberman on the Huberman Lab Podcast. This episode is an exhaustive guide to building strength, increasing muscle size (hypertrophy), and enhancing endurance performance. Dr. Galpin breaks down the fundamental principles, underlying mechanisms, and specific protocols for optimizing training and recovery. Learn about modifiable variables in strength and hypertrophy training, repetition ranges, and strategies for combining different training types. The discussion extends to crucial elements like hydration (including the Galpin Equation), sleep, nutrition, and supplements such as sodium bicarbonate and creatine monohydrate. Whether you're a recreational exerciser or a professional athlete, this episode provides actionable, science-based tools to accelerate adaptations and achieve your fitness goals, directly linking practical advice to the specific physiological and neural changes required for exercise adaptations.
