When it comes to the human body, Size Matters.  And this is particularly so for those who are interested in increasing their muscle mass.  What exactly are we increasing, however, when our muscles grow?  And how much bigger should we try to be?  Is it just a matter of personal taste, or is there an optimal degree of hypertrophy for human movement?  Some think bigger is better, while others believe that too much can be detrimental to movement and motor skill.  Once again we’re faced with a fitness controversy, having no dearth of opinions.  To help us sift through the science and uncover some of the secrets behind the size, we sat down with professor of physiology, researcher, and former Mr. United States Natural Bodybuilding Federation champion, Dr. Fred DiMenna.

Our previous two episodes, Power Play and It’s About Time, centered on rate of tension development (RTD), fatigue and the neuromotor implications of those constructs, so hypertrophy was a logical next subject.  We cover some exercise physiology studies, techniques and perspectives on developing hypertrophy, and merge them with some of the motor control theories and personal perspectives discussed in prior episodes, to create a richer tapestry of What Really Matters when it comes to size.

Three reasons why you should listen to this episode:

1. First of all, what, exactly, is hypertrophy?  Dr. DiMenna explains what’s occurring at the cellular level when a muscle undergoes hypertrophy, or hyperplasia and how it can be measured both in a lab and in the gym.  There’s been some speculation as to what we’re actually experiencing during human muscle growth, and Dr. DiMenna offers his perspective.

1. How important is Growth Hormone (HGH)?  Conventional wisdom tells us that post-exercise HGH, circulating in the blood, is an accurate marker of subsequent muscle growth.  Dr. DiMenna clues us in to why that might not be the case.  Dr. DiMenna also identifies a more accurate proxy of an environment amenable to creating hypertrophy that often gets overlooked by mainstream media, listen in to hear what this is!

1. Intensity is obviously necessary for hypertrophy, right?  Perhaps, but what does intensity really mean?  How do we quantify it?  It seems like intensity and load should be synonymous, but does the load need to be heavy for the exercise to be intense?  Can we create enough intensity with light loads to reach a stimulus significant enough to drive hypertrophy?  How does that compare to using heavier loads?  

Think learning about any of this can help you in your workouts?  We do!  

In this episode we discuss:

• The cellular dynamics of hypertrophy
• Hypertrophy vs hyperplasia
• Protein synthesis
• Fast and slow twitch fiber transitions due to hypertrophy training
• Is hypertrophy training helpful as we age?

Glossary:

Concentric Failure - The point during a muscle-shortening contraction at which a repetition can no longer be completed

Eccentric Failure - The point during a muscle-lengthening contraction at which a repetition can no longer be completed

Hyperplasia -  Muscle growth due to an increase in the number of muscle fibers

Hypertrophy - Muscle growth due to an increase in the size of muscle fibers

Mitochondria - An organelle found in most cells responsible for governing processes of respiration and energy production

Protein Synthesis -  Two stage process; transcription and translation in which cells make new proteins, can be used as a proxy to measure hypertrophic effect of an exercise condition

How many times are we going to listen to fitness experts having a conversation about cardio exercise being ‘good’ or ‘bad’?

Not this time, Jennifer and Remy Rory of MNE Fit Camp have a conversation about keeping our mind open, in a nonjudgemental spaciousness, to entertain different approaches to exercising our cardiovascular systems.

Exercise is so nuanced that we really can’t take the assumption that there is only one way to hack your system for healthy living.

Topics discussed:

• Remy’s practical approach to helping his clients “Make No Excuses” 
• Different tools for cardiovascular exercise: kettlebells, jump ropes, suitcases, calisthenics
• Jenn discusses Pain Science and getting out of your own way

Exercise, it’s About Time, time under tension (TUT) that is.  If you lift weights you’ve most likely heard this term at some point along your journey. Good chance it was mentioned in a conversation, media piece or Google search related to recommendations for increasing muscle mass.   “They,” the collective voice of conventional wisdom on exercise, often propose that increasing TUT is a necessary step for building hypertrophy.  But...what are they talking about, exactly?  The amount of time it takes to complete a single rep?  The amount of time it takes to complete a set?  The amount of time a muscle is exposed to tension during an entire workout?  All the above?  

Is increased time under tension a magical elixir for all muscular development concerns, including making gains in strength and power?  Could it be that increasing TUT might actually inhibit the development of certain substrates!?  Are there some lesser known applications you can try in the gym tomorrow that might just yield better results?  Well, It’s About Time someone turned a critical eye towards this topic to separate the supported from the supposed, and that is exactly what we do in It’s About Time, this week’s installment of the Fitness For Consumption podcast.

Three reasons why you should listen to this episode:

1. The conventional wisdom of time under tension.  TUT, either by increasing the length of a single rep, or increasing the amount of reps in a set to fatigue is often considered a requisite for developing hypertrophy.  It’s also speculated by some that training slowly is a safer and more effective way of training for explosive power.  The research in this area can paint a different picture however, and it might just make you reconsider what you have heard.

1. A (not) new way of thinking about your sets: cluster loading.  Although cluster loading has been around for decades, it is unfortunately not well known within the consumer and even fitness professional population.  What is it?  Why use it?  How might it be used as a potentially ideal application for traversing the challenge of developing strength, power and hypertrophy?  What are some potential drawbacks?  We cover the research and share some really interesting findings.

1. On a neuromotor level, what actually happens when you move slowly and intend to move slowly?  With so many social media fitness accounts seemingly obsessed with creating muscle activation, what does some of the research investigating deliberately slow and fatiguing movement actually show us about recruiting fast twitch motor units?  And, what, if anything, can you do about it using voluntary intention?  

Think learning about any of this can help you in your workouts? We do! Only one way to find out though, give it a listen and let us know what you think!

In this episode we discuss:

• The different perspectives on TUT
• EMG studies examining effects of sustained muscular contraction
• What happens to our ability to recruit fast twitch motor units during fatiguing contractions
• Cluster loading principles and potential applications
• Are sports binary in function?  Either totally aerobic or anaerobic?  What to consider if you need both

Glossary:

Cluster Loading - An alternative form of performing an exercise set in which  there are distinct  rest intervals between either single repetitions or   a few grouped repetitions, for the purpose of preserving power output

Isokinetic Exercise -  Exercise performed at constant speed

Isometric Exercise -  Exercise performed where there is muscular contraction but no joint displacement

Isotonic Exercise - Exercise performed with a constant load

Presynaptic Facilitation  - A process whereby motor units are stimulated, lowering their firing threshold and facilitating an action potential. 

Presynaptic  Inhibition - A process in which a nerve cell is inhibited, raising the firing threshold  and decreasing the likelihood of reaching an action potential.

Supraspinal Centers - Supraspinal/segmental centers are centers "above" the spinal cord and brainstem including cerebellum, basal ganglia and the sensory and motor cortices cortexes

Continuous exercise progress comes from your body’s natural wisdom that allows you to create, innovate, and push boundaries. 

The typical ‘exercise more to improve fitness’ model serves only a small population of active people. Without context most motivated exercisers are running themselves into the ground without any knowledge of how to rebound into a commitment with exercise that is long-term and sustainable. 

In this episode, Jennifer shares the 8 principles of sustainable fitness that she lives by and wants to share this with the 1000s of athletes that she has worked with over her career span.  

Understanding these 8 principles will have direct implications for your current workout plan and she invites you to join a free webinar in which she fully dives in to the first principle of exercise set up and anatomy.
