#23 Dr. Mike Israetel - The Relationship Between Training Frequency a Hypertrophy | The Efficacy a Utility of High-Frequency Mesocycles
Welcome back to The Muscle Memoirs Podcast. This episode features the almighty Dr. Mike Israetel. You are not going to want to miss this one!On this episode, Dr. Mike unpacks his general position on training frequency, the relationship between training frequency and volume (with advanced lifter considerations), the drawbacks to high-frequency training, a gives us insight into his current training frequency as well as his personal experience with the highest frequency he has utilized.You can follow and support Dr. Mike at:Instagram: @rpdrmike a @rpstrengthCompany: https://renaissanceperiodization.com/YouTube: Renaissance PeriodizationFacebook: Mike IsraetelThe Discussion:1. Dr. Mike gives his thoughts on how we may reconcile the discrepancies in the findings of Brad Schoenfeld's and Greg Nuckol's reviews on training frequency for muscle hypertrophy2. Dr. Mike describes when it may be appropriate to utilize a higher training frequency depending on the nutritional phase you are in3. Dr. Mike shares the muscle groups that typically respond best to higher frequency training as well as those that he may be skeptical about4. In advanced lifters, could spreading out training volume over the course of a week with a higher-frequency optimize the MPS area under the curve and thus enhance muscle growth over time? 5. How long does MPS tend to stay elevated in advanced lifters?6. Dr. Mike explains the utility of increasing training frequency for individuals with a very high MRV7. Should whatever frequency that allows you to achieve the most volume load for a given amount of sets be the route to take in order to maximize hypertrophy?8. Dr. Mike describes the "floor" or minimum number of sets required per session to generate a sufficient anabolic response9. Cons to high-frequency training: Could you be sacrificing anabolic potential with full-body high-frequency training through reduced cell swelling/metabolite accumulation by having to shunt blood throughout the entire body?10. Dr. Mike's current training frequency and his personal experience utilizing the highest frequency for major muscle groups11.
