Science & Tools For Muscle Growth, Increasing Strength & Muscular Recovery | Episode 22

<p>In this episode I describe how our brain and nervous system control muscle tissue and how to leverage that for muscle maintenance, growth (hypertrophy) and recovery. I explain how neurons control muscle contractions and limb movements. I explain muscle metabolism and muscle fiber recruitment. I detail protocols for increasing muscular growth and for neuro-muscular recovery. I explain the effects of deliberate cold, anti-inflammatory agents, and anti-histamines on training progress. I describe science-supported protocols using certain weight load ranges, total sets per week, training intensity, frequency, and in-between set activities if one's goal is to increase muscle growth, strength or endurance. I review three foundational compounds and nutrients and three optimization compounds and nutrients that have been shown to improve neuro-muscular performance. Finally, I explain how to leverage exercise and weight training to enhance cognitive function.</p> <p> </p> <p>Thank you to our sponsors:</p> <ul> <li>InsideTracker - <a href= "https://insidetracker.com/huberman">https://insidetracker.com/huberman</a></li> <li>Belcampo - <a href= "https://belcampo.com/huberman">https://belcampo.com/huberman</a></li> <li>Headspace - <a href= "https://headspace.com/specialoffer">https://headspace.com/specialoffer</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Our Patreon page:</p> <ul> <li><a href= "https://www.patreon.com/andrewhuberman">https://www.patreon.com/andrewhuberman</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Supplements from Thorne:</p> <ul> <li><a href= "http://www.thorne.com/u/huberman">http://www.thorne.com/u/huberman</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Social:</p> <ul> <li>Instagram - <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/hubermanlab">https://www.instagram.com/hubermanlab</a></li> <li>Twitter - <a href= "https://twitter.com/hubermanlab">https://twitter.com/hubermanlab</a></li> <li>Facebook - <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/hubermanlab">https://www.facebook.com/hubermanlab</a></li> <li>Website: <a href= "https://hubermanlab.com">https://hubermanlab.com</a><
