Episode 15
In this episode of Hypertrophy: Past and Present, Jake and Chris explore the lesser-known silver-era bodybuilder Floyd Page’s 1952 full-body routine before unpacking the topic of training frequency, long-term training studies, and physiological models.
Key topics include:
- Floyd Page’s 1952 “favourite routine” and its historical context
- The non-linear dose-response of sets and why frequency changes the outcome
- Physiological models vs. long-term training study data
- What the Currier (2023) network meta-analysis really shows
- Why three times per week consistently beats once per week, and where two times fits in
- The role of models in filling research gaps and guiding practical programming
- How to navigate conflicting information
