In this episode of Hypertrophy Past & Present, Jake and Chris break down Peary Rader’s minimalist full-body routine from the 1940s before digging into Rader’s advice to train later in the day. Could afternoon workouts give you an edge, and does better performance in the gym translate into more muscle growth?

Key topics include

• Peary Rader’s five-exercise routine, including the 20-rep breathing squat, and how Jake and Chris would modernise it
• Why Rader favoured late-afternoon and evening workouts
• How muscle temperature, motivation, and motor unit recruitment could influence training performance throughout the day
• How to get more out of early-morning workouts
