Science of Muscle Growth, Increasing Strength Muscular Recovery, Huberman Lab Podcast, 22

In this episode I describe how our brain and nervous system control muscle tissue and how to leverage that for muscle maintenance, growth (hypertrophy) and recovery. I explain muscle metabolism and muscle fiber recruitment. I detail protocols for increasing muscular growth and for neuromuscular recovery. I explain the effects of deliberate cold, antiinflammatory agents, and antihistamines on training progress. I describe sciencesupported protocols using certain weight load ranges, total sets per week, training intensity, frequency, and inbetween set activities if one s goal is to increase muscle growth, strength or endurance. I review three foundational compounds and nutrients and three optimization compounds and nutrients that have been shown to improve neuromuscular performance. Finally, I explain how to leverage exercise and weight training to enhance cognitive function.
