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 & edema
• Testosterone, anabolics, and clinical applications
• Ribosome biogenesis & genetic variability in response
• Aging, epigenetics, omics, and the future of muscle research
If you're interested in the science behind how and why muscle grows—and what that means for health, longevity, and performance—this episode is for you.
