Dr. Andy Galpin Reveals Science-Based Protocols for Building Strength and Muscle

Dr. Andy Galpin, Executive Director of the Human Performance Center at Parker University, shares science-based protocols for building strength and muscle size on Huberman Lab. He covers the nine key exercise adaptations and progressive overload principles, explaining optimal rep ranges, sets, frequency, and rest intervals for different training goals. The discussion includes practical guidance on exercise selection, training intensity, and the differences between hypertrophy and strength training recovery. Galpin also explores how mental focus and the mind-muscle connection enhance training effectiveness, plus breathing techniques and post-workout strategies to accelerate recovery and maximize adaptations.
