Dr. Eric Helms is the Chief Science Officer at 3DMJ, an online coaching company for strength and physique athletes, and a research fellow at the Sports Performance Research Institute New Zealand at Auckland University of Technology, with a PhD in strength and conditioning, a Masters in nutrition, and a second Masters in exercise science and health promotion.

He’s also a professional bodybuilder, a raw powerlifter, and a weightlifter. In other words, he’s a lover of all strength and physique sports.

In today’s episode, he joins the podcast to answer these questions on evidence-based programming for hypertrophy:

• How do you design an effective hypertrophy training program?
• How many sets per body part should you do every week?
• How often should you train each body part?
• Are there any “best” exercises?
• How many exercises should you do for the same muscle?
• How often should you switch exercises?
• … And much more!

Listen to the end for perhaps the most important component of a truly effective program.
