In this episode of the Muscle Memoirs Podcast, I am joined by Dr. Jeremy Loenneke. Dr. Loenneke is an assistant professor of health and exercise science at the University of Mississippi and the director of the Kevser Ermin Applied Physiology Laboratory. His research group's primary focus is on skeletal muscle adaptations to exercise with and without the application of blood flow restriction.
