Building muscle for longevity | Dr Brad Schoenfeld and Alan Aragon

Simon Hill· Host0:00

Today's episode is a deep dive into all things muscle, resistance training, and healthy aging with two of the most influential voices in this space, Brad Schoenfeld and Alan Aragon. Brad is one of the most prolific researchers in muscle science with over three hundred peer-reviewed publications on hypertrophy, strength, and resistance training. Alan is a nutrition researcher and educator known for bridging physiology with real-world application. The two have also collaborated academically over the years, bringing exercise science and nutrition into the same conversation. In this episode, we discuss what actually happens to muscle as we age, why strength and power decline, and what kind of resistance training best counteracts those changes while layering in the role of nutrition along the way. This is a long-form conversation, nearly four hours, where we go deep into the science but consistently translate it into practical takeaways that you can apply to your own training and nutrition. Please enjoy. [whooshing sound] Today, I wanted to get the pair of you back on so we could really go deep on muscle physiology. Obviously, everyone right now is really interested in longevity. That's become a bit of a, a kind of trend, which I think is a positive thing. And muscle has very much become a central part of that conversation
