In this deep-dive discussion, Dr. Michael D. Roberts, Professor at Auburn University and Director of the Nutrabolt Applied and Molecular Sciences Lab, joins Drs. Cody Haun and Daniel Lawson (and Dr. David Hardin) for an in-depth exploration of muscle hypertrophy, aging, anabolic hormones, and molecular adaptation.
We cover:
• Myonuclear permanence & muscle memory
• Sarcoplasmic vs. myofibrillar hypertrophy
• High-volume training &a...
Drs. Cody Haun and Daniel Lawson explore the recent study (PMID: 39995432) on lengthened partials following full range of motion training compared to full range of motion alone during a calf raise exercise. The discussion covers the potential mechanisms behind muscle growth, the definitions of failure in training, the study's design and results, and practical applications for trainees and practitioners.
Takeaways:
- Lengthened...
How does exercise influence your body beyond the typical weight loss narrative? In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Matt Romero—professor of Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology at UC Santa Cruz—joins us for a deep dive into the world of gene regulation, tissue-specific expression, and the unsung genetic elements that may hold the key to better health and performance.
We explore how exercise affects your genome at the cellu...
In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Alex Olmos to discuss motor units, hypertrophy, and neuromuscular research. We first dive into what a motor unit is, how motor units are measured, and the limitations and considerations of measuring and interpreting motor units during resistance training. The second half of our talk in this episode focuses on a 2016 paper from Pope et al. titled 'Action potential amplitude as a noninvasi...
In this podcast, we discuss the paper "Cluster analysis tests the importance of myogenic gene expression during myofiber hypertrophy in humans" by Bamman et al. (2007), PMID: 17395765. To our knowledge, this was the first study to explore potential molecular pathways that differentiate between non-, modest, and high-responders to hypertrophy from resistance training. We delve into the study design and methods, and key f...

In our first episode, we explore -omics with Dr. Chris Vann.
Dr. Vann is a postdoctoral research scholar at Duke University primarily researching in the Molecular Physiology Institute.
We dive deep into the process of interrogating DNA, RNA, and protein using traditional methods. Then, we explore how -omics provides pote...
