Okay, hello everyone, and welcome to a new episode of the Jeff Nippard podcast. In this episode,

I'm speaking with Dr. Pack. Dr. Pack is one of the world's leading experts in the area of

minimalistic training. He did his PhD on the minimum effective dose needed to increase

strength in power lifters, in a sense become one of the science-based fitness community's

leading voices in the area of minimalistic training for both strength and hypertrophy.

As I explained in a recent YouTube video, the majority of bodybuilding and fitness content

seems to be focused more on maximalist or more is better training, and the idea of minimum

effective dose training does get relatively less attention. But the reality is that most people

find the idea of getting in

an effective workout in a much shorter time frame, very appealing. People are busy, and most people

don't have the time to dedicate one to two hours to the gym every day. And so the question of,

what's the least amount of time we can spend in the gym and still make measurable progress

is an important one. So in this podcast, Dr. Pack and I discuss just how effective minimalistic training can be,

and we try to pin down just how low you can go with training volume and still make gains.

Now, this conversation can be essentially broken up into two parts.

For the first part, we talk mostly about strength, and then for the second part, we talk mostly about hypertrophy.

I thought this was a

really good discussion and it covers a lot of new ground that you may not have heard much about before.

And so without further ado, I give you my discussion about minimalistic training with Dr. Pack.

So I guess for anyone listening who isn't aware, I recently uploaded a video about training

minimalism, which basically is just like how to structure your training so that you're, I guess, prioritizing time efficiency more than optimalism, if you will, right?

So that's kind of the way I think about it.
