Timestamps: How hard should you train?: 0:00 Is reps in reserve (RIR) exercise-specific?: 10:44 Advice to help estimate RIR more accurately: 16:04 Which is most important for hypertrophy: intensity (effort) or volume?: 19:34 Is it optimal to take some sets to failure?: 31:33 Is it harder to do a high effort or high volume training session?: 38:19 You can listen on: iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-jeff-nippard-podcast/id905054765 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5TkwWmQEiYHx8vkYjisIQo YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjTp-nBKswYLumqmVeBPwYw Find Mike Israetel here: https://renaissanceperiodization.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfQgsKhHjSyRLOp9mnffqVg https://www.instagram.com/rpdrmike/?hl=en

We also cover the "is a calorie a calorie" question, address the role of sugar/carbs in obesity and diabetes and the role of the brain in regulating all of this.

Part 2 of my discussion with muscle metabolism researcher Jorn Trommelen. Here we cover how to diet to maximize muscle protein synthesis. This is an audio repost from my interview on YouTube. Jorn's website: http://www.nutritiontactics.com Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/jeffnippard TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro 1:38 The role of carbs (insulin) and fats in stimulating MPS. Is insulin anabolic? 7:46 Whole eggs more anabolic than egg whites? (New research) 11:00 "Just hitting total daily protein intake" and an "IIFYM approach" to protein 13:25 Collagen protein discussion 14:32 How much protein do you need per day? 1g/lb per day? (The controversy) 20:21 Does protein intake depend on lean body mass/body weight? 26:13 Role of individual differences 28:02 Protein quality (plant vs animal protein) 31:46 Should vegans supplement leucine? (And leucine discussion) 34:25 How much leucine do you need per meal? (Is the "leucine threshold" legit?) 44:17 Protein distribution (Can you eat all your protein in one meal?) What is the "muscle full effect"? 47:28 Intermittent fasting – is it sub-obtimal for MPS? (What happens when you eat 50-100+g in one meal?) 52:52 Is there a "refractory period"? 1:03:35 Protein before bed? How much and what type? 1:09:56 What about a protein feeding in the middle of the night? 1:14:35 Summary of training and nutrition for MPS 1:17:29 Practical takeaways for those wanting to really optimize results (3 things)
