In this episode I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Mike Israetel, PHD in Sport Physiology and Co-Founder of Renaissance Periodization. Mike discusses the overload training modalities straight sets, down-sets and tempo variations. Furthermore he divs into the best proxies for hypertrophy both in the short and the long-term. These topics will be covered in depth in his upcoming book “Scientific Principles of Hypertrophy Training”. He also gives an update on where he is at in his own training at the moment. 0:57 Mike gives an update on his own training 6:35 Could you go through the overload training modalities and how and where you would place each and every one in an hypertrophy macrocycle and with how much focus in each phase? 11:58 How much relative contribution do the training parameters (intensity and volume) have for hypertrophy? 19:13 Mikes experience with higher absolute intensities 23:28 What do you think is the best proxy for hypertrophy both in the short and the long-term? 49:13 How much emphasi
