Kinesiologist talks the science of muscle building!

Episode Summary

On this week's episode, I sit down with Dr. Jimmy Bagley, who is a Professor of Kinesiology at San Francisco State University. Dr. Bagley specializes in muscle physiology and talks about how muscles use energy and what the research really shows about getting in shape. Dr Bagley also discusses the reality of research studies and how many people "cherry pick" data to prove their own hypothesis, when the truth is much more complicated.
