Description
In this episode of "Office Hours Live," Dr. Eric Trexler and Dr. Eric Helms discuss the newest issue of the MASS Research Review, focusing on Helms' article about muscle reallocation in untrained individuals. They discuss a study examining muscle volume changes during resistance training, exploring its methodology, findings, and implications for body recomposition and protein/energy intake. The conversation covers practical applications for bodybuilders and athletes, before transitioning into a Q&A session addressing topics such as supplement tiers, general health supplements, and the use of multivitamins. The hosts explain the importance of third-party testing for supplements and discuss isometric training, including its potential benefits and current research gaps. The episode also features rapid-fire questions on protein intake and longevity, exercise selection, underrated muscles for aesthetics, quad development strategies, and long-term creatine use.
