N1 Hypertrophy Camp; Spring Training Pro...

Aaron Straker | Bryan Boorstein
About this episode

Episode 150 centers around Bryan’s recent weekend at the N1 HQ for Hypertrophy Camp with numerous experiments exploring “lengthened exposures” and training density. We think that you will find some of the outcomes here rather thought provoking, as did we. Bryan wraps up the episode expanding upon Episode 143, where he turned a version of his 10 Exercises for Life into a twice weekly program he will run this Spring as he again shifts his training prioritization towards a cardio focused modality.
