In this episode of the Sweet Science of Fighting podcast, Dr. Eric Helms discusses various aspects of training for muscle growth, including the importance of training volume, the optimal number of sets, and the role of protein intake.


He delves into the effective rep model, the debate surrounding long muscle length training, and the mechanisms of muscle growth, comparing metabolic stress and mechanical tension. The conversation emphasizes the need for context in training and nutrition, particularly for combat sports athletes, and provides insights into how to maximize muscle retention and growth during training and dieting phases.
