Podcast #933: The Science of Swole — How to Grow Your Muscles

Many men would like to have bigger muscles. They may have heard they must activate "hypertrophy" in order for them to build bigger muscles. But what exactly is hypertrophy, and how can you achieve it?

Paul Carter, a bodybuilding and strength trainer, will explain what you should know on today's show. We discuss the differences between strength and size, two myths about hypertrophy, how many sets you should do to develop a particular muscle group, and why Paul believes machines are better for building larger muscles than free weights.
