Aliquot #78: The minimum effective dose for hypertrophy (more gains, less time)

Dr. Brad Schoenfeld, Dr. Stuart Phillips

Performing time-efficient workouts that involve supersets, paired sets, drop sets, and multi-joint exercises decrease training time while providing the minimum effective dose necessary for muscle hypertrophy. In this Aliquot, experts Dr. Brad Schoenfeld and Dr. Stuart Philips provide tips for optimizing gym time and share the workout routines and healthy lifestyle behaviors they practice to promote healthy aging.
