Okay, welcome everyone to a new episode of the Jeff Nippard podcast. In this episode, I'm going to be

0:04.8

speaking with Dr. Brad Schoenfeld about some really interesting and cutting edge topics around

0:09.6

exercise science and its application to training for maximum muscle gain. And I was actually

0:14.6

lucky enough to teach a guest lecture at Dr. Schoenfeld's College in New York over Skype a couple

0:19.3

weeks ago. And then he agreed to come

0:21.1

on my channel and podcast for an interview. I'd say many of you guys probably already know that

Dr. Schoenfeld is one of the most prolific researchers in exercise science worldwide. He's published

0:31.9

over 150 scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals, so it was an honor to get to pick his

brain for an hour. And he's written articles in just aboutreviewed journals. So it was an honor to get to pick his brain for an hour.

1:00.2

style, because we both trained with John. We discussed my technique Tuesday series and what the role

1:05.9

of technique might be when it comes to hypertrophy. And we talk about his very controversial study

1:10.8

on training

1:11.6

volume that found benefit to training with higher volumes than had previously been recommended. And we

1:16.7

talk about other cool stuff like his opinion on modifying the resistance curve on some exercises

1:21.0

and whether or not internally rotating on lateral raises is a good or a bad idea. And some other

1:26.2
