Listen "Muscle Hypertrophy Science Masterclass with Dr. Michael Roberts"
Episode Synopsis
In this deep-dive discussion, Dr. Michael D. Roberts, Professor at Auburn University and Director of the Nutrabolt Applied and Molecular Sciences Lab, joins Drs. Cody Haun and Daniel Lawson (and Dr. David Hardin) for an in-depth exploration of muscle hypertrophy, aging, anabolic hormones, and molecular adaptation.We cover:• Myonuclear permanence & muscle memory• Sarcoplasmic vs. myofibrillar hypertrophy• High-volume training & edema• Testosterone, anabolics, and clinical applications• Ribosome biogenesis & genetic variability in response• Aging, epigenetics, omics, and the future of muscle researchIf you're interested in the science behind how and why muscle grows—and what that means for health, longevity, and performance—this episode is for you.Fitomics Resources:Instagram: https://instagram.com/fitomicshqhttps://www.instagram.com/drcodyhaun/https://www.instagram.com/drdanlawson/Facebook: https://facebook.com/fitomicsWebsite: https://fitomics.orgResearch Labs Insider: https://fitomics.org/researchlabsinsiderFitomics Online Coaching: https://fitomics.org/coachingFitomics Training App: https://program.fitomics.org/trainers/support/landing/Fitomics Training Plans: https://www.fitomics.org/trainingplansNutrition Insiders: https://www.fitomics.org/nutrition-insiders03:06 The Nutrabolt Lab and Research Funding05:53 Exploring Muscle Biology and Aging12:04 The Importance of Muscle in Longevity14:55 Translating Animal Research to Human Studies18:15 The Role of Muscle in Metabolic Health21:02 The Impact of Muscle Mass on Mortality27:18 The Future of Muscle Research and Interventions36:48 The Role of Testosterone in Health and Fitness42:51 Myonuclear Permanence and Muscle Memory45:43 Hypertrophy: Myofibrillar vs. Sarcoplasmic54:38 Sarcoplasmic Hypertrophy: Evidence and Controversies01:16:46 Understanding Muscle Gain Variability01:18:13 Exploring Ribosome Biogenesis and Satellite Cells01:32:26 The Role of Advanced Sequencing in Muscle Research01:39:04 Practical Applications of Molecular Insights01:47:57 Future Directions in Muscle Research
