#12 Dr. Jimmy Bagley - Limits Of Muscular Potential And Muscle Physiology

In today's episode, Daniel sits down with Jimmy Bagley. Topics of discussion include limitations to muscle growth, muscle fiber differentiation, PED's and gene doping, AMPK and mTOR, blood flow restriction training, improving tendon strength, and more.

 

TIME STAMPS:
