Hi Fitness Folks!
Welcome to the first episode of the B&B (Bret & Brad) Connection.
Brad Schoenfeld and I are going to be recording a 30-minute podcast each week where we discuss muscle science and anything else we feel like rambling about.
The key is to keep it to 30 minutes so you don’t feel overwhelmed.
I know that some folks love my longer podcasts with Jonathan Fass on The Strength of Evidence Podcast and my one-on-one interviews (ex: Jason Silvernail on pain) that typically last 90-120 minutes (or even my Stu McGill 3-hour Marathon from yesterday), but many people just want a quick listen. My discussions with Brad will fill this void. Click on the player below to listen to the first episode:

Here are some links that are associated with our first podcast:
The Mechanisms of Muscle Hypertrophy and Their Applications to Resistance Training (Click HERE for the Pubmed link and HERE to download the PDF)
The Hypertrophy Specialist (Click HERE)
Why Bodybuilders are More Jacked Than Powerlifters (Click HERE)
Are All Hip Extension Exercises Created Equal? Click HERE to download the pdf and HERE to watch a video on the topic)
Looking forward to this! Anyway we could get an RSS feed for the podcast so I can subscribe and catch all of them?
Hi Nick, I don’t know how to do that. I’ll look into it. Little by little I’m expanding my technological repertoire – I’m a techno caveman!
Isn’t possible to download the episode?
I can’t, nice if you could fix it 🙂
Fredrik, I don’t know how to do this but it’s somehow possible to get the code – check out the comments section of my blog from the day before (interview with Stu McGill). Some readers posted notes on how to download it. Sorry for the inconvenience, Bret
Great tips. I found this on the interview with McGill:
” Just right-click on a blank part of this page, choose “View Page Info”. Then go to the media tab and scroll down until you find the audio file. Then click “Save As””
Thanks for the tip on the download it worked great! Note I found it very easy w/ Firefox but couldn’t do it with Explorer so if anyone is having difficulty they may want to try Firefox.
Is this in ITUNES?
No Meghan, I don’t know how to do this. Need to learn how. Sorry! Trying to learn as I go and I’m a technical idiot!
Thanks Bret and Brad, I really enjoyed listening to this. I’d watched the Form Analysis you did Bret and wondered about the mechanical tension/ metabolic stress/ muscle damage you talked about. Now after listening to this and reading The Mechanisms of Muscle Hypertrophy it all makes sense.
Actually make that while I was reading The Art of Glute Building that I’d read about Mechanical tension etc. All helping me put better programs together anyway, thanks.
This is great. Really insightful. Thanks B & B
I had a similar interaction w Mr. Schoenfeld, i had a question, emailed him and later on that day he replied! I couldnt believe that he replied to my email but replying the same day or maybe the next was just pleasantly surprising.
Brad Schoenfeld and Bret Contreras are my fitness Gods!! 🙂
I’m excited about this new podcast Bret! Thank you.
This is one of the best podcasts on hypertrophy I’ve ever come across. Great job guys – this is packed full of great information.
Really enjoyed this, as the info is very easy to consume.
In terms of rep ranges, it seems like the 6-15 rep range is the sweet spot, and the fun is periodizing. Any suggestions for programs that have a good 4 day split with these concepts programmed in? I have fallen into the strength black hole when I really just want to look good.
Nicely done, Bret (and Brad). I’m a little late to the table, but there’s still plenty to chew on. Thanks
I think it’s safe to say that you’re more than just the “glute guy” anymore Bret. Thank you both for your passion and dedication to the pursuit of knowledge and further understanding regarding the human body.
