Please be aware that scientist brad schoenfeld that is being cited throughout the article. Has changed his opinion on some topics and other topics he even did a 180. The human body is very complex system with balances and counter balances. So almost any statement can be true and false, depending on the context. Interview with Brad schoenfeld where he explains his latests thoughts on training. https://youtu.be/SUy6HwOhT3U https://youtu.be/SUy6HwOhT3U Edit: Maybe it's unclear Brad schoenfeld is a prominent hypertrophy scientist if he is still changing his mind based on newer science. Then its clearly not as simple as being stated.

Are you making a claim that him changing his opinion is a negative (real question, I could not tell if you were making a value judgement from your post). I don't know enough about that specific scientist, but in general, I tend to respect scientists more when they are willing to change their opinion (assuming it's in light of new evidence and not just on a whim) and admit they were wrong previously. That isn't a bad thing, IMO, that is a valuable trait to have, which is why I tend to listen to and respect those who have that trait more than those who dogmatically stick to an opinion regardless of new information.

  > Are you making a claim that him changing his opinion is a negative Actually the opposite. The interview with Brad Schoenfeld is great and he'll explain his thinking based on the latest research.

That’s literally how science works? Hypertrophy has largely been settled and the main mechanisms and science underneath are well known by now. Call is post-2017. Source: up 40lb of Dexa scan muscle from 2014-2023, at 15lb greater body weight. Not rocket science. Strongly recommend Renaissance Periodization (the hundred of hours of lectures on YouTube if that’s your thing, the two main textbooks, the training templates, the meal books, or the meal apps) as a potential vendor if you’re on the simultaneously on the brainier/geekier and more ambitious to reach intermediate or further side of humans.

  > Hypertrophy has largely been settled and the main mechanisms and science underneath are well known by now. If only you would be aware of the different camps of thinking within the (natural) bodybuilding community. Volume vs intensity is the vim vs emacs of their community. Brad Schoenfeld is leading scientist for muscle hypertrophy and if he is changing his mind based on new evidence then would be prudent not to be confident in our thinking.

  Yes, that's how science works. The point the comment was making is that it's not enough to be citing a reliable source. That source has said contradictory things, so someone could build an argument on incorrect premises.

  > Hypertrophy has largely been settled and the main mechanisms and science underneath are well known by now No, it's nowhere near this settled. Mechanical tension is universally agreed upon as the main driver, but there are still poorly understood exceptions, like blood flow restriction.

    I BFR. It's fine. We're bike shedding now. If you want to get big, easy enough to do.

  In your experience is there a programming silver bullet for those who want to build an aesthetic physique? ( men in particular) like the highest roi
