#239 ‒ The science of strength, muscle, and training for longevity | Andy Galpin, Ph.D. (PART I)

The Peter Attia Drive

What led Andy to specialize in exercise science?

How do strength, power, and force production differ and what do they tell us about training for longevity?

Muscle energetics: What fuels muscles and why is protein important?

Understanding the structure and microanatomy of muscle and muscle fibers

How do the energy demands of skeletal muscle compare to other body tissues?

How does a muscle contraction work and why is ATP necessary?

Can muscle fibers change type with movement, training, and aging?

What did Andy’s study on twins reveal about muscle fibers in trained vs. untrained individuals?

Exploring the microanatomy of fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers

What determines a person’s muscle fiber makeup and how adaptable are they?

What happens at the cellular level during muscle hypertrophy?

How do athletes manage rapid water weight loss and rehydration?

What are the different types of athletes?

What training advice would Andy give to an untrained person aiming for muscle and strength for longevity?

How do muscle and muscular function change with aging?

What would Andy’s training plan look like for the hypothetical client?

What drives muscle hypertrophy?

How should isometric exercises be incorporated into a workout?

What are some additional training tips including movement patterns and workout endings?

How can high heart rate exercise be integrated into a workout plan?
