Dr. Mike Israetel, Ph.D. in Sport Physiology and Co-Founder of Renaissance Periodization is back on the show. In this episode Mike dives deeper into the overload training modalities including higher rep sets and metabolite techniques like giant sets, myo reps, drop sets and BFR training. These topics will be covered in depth in his upcoming book “Scientific Principles of Hypertrophy Training” which will be released next year. 01:23 What exactly is metabolic stress? Where would you place its importance in contrast to mechanical tension in hypertrophy training? 5:50 Giant Sets 16:07 Myo Reps 42:55 Drop Sets 46:24 How do you program Drop Sets? 50:27 Is there a bottom range intensity for drop sets? 52:45 How do you program relative intensities for metabolite techniques? 01:01:44 Supersets 01:02:20 Compound alternating supersets 01:14:12 Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFR) 01:17:32 Do you think there is a specific advantage to BFR vs. just normal low load training? 01:18:49 How do you track sets for metabolite
