In this episode, Andy explains the anatomy, microanatomy, and physiology of the muscle, what it actually means to undergo hypertrophy of the muscle, and more, including:
- Contrasting strength, power, and force production and how they inform us about training for longevity
- Muscle energetics: Fuels that provide energy to muscles, and the importance of protein
- Muscle fibers: modulation between fiber types with movement and changes in fibers with training and aging
- Microanatomy of fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers
