Episode: [Hypertrophy] A 12-Month Periodization Model to Maximize Muscle Growth w/ Bryan Boorstein, Anders Varner, Doug Larson, and Coach Travis Mash
Description: In today's episode of Barbell Shrugged, Bryan Boorstein lays out a hypothetical model for building muscle over a 12 month period. This model is a comprehensive training approach that systematically varies training variables over a year-long period. The approach involves breaking down the year into specific phases, each with its unique focus and training goals, to ensure optimal muscle development and prevent stagnation. Typically, the phases involve different training intensities, volumes, and exercises to challenge the body in new ways and promote progressive overload. Incorporating the latest science and research in hypertrophy, this model la...
