Dr. Andy Galpin: Optimize Your Training Program for Fitness & Longevity | Huberman Lab Guest Series

About this video

Dr. Andy Galpin joins Huberman for the fourth episode in their fitness series, focused on designing a training programme that combines protocols for multiple adaptations at once, such as endurance, strength, hypertrophy and speed. Rather than repeating background physiology from earlier episodes, Dr. Galpin moves more directly to sample programmes and case studies, varying structure across the week, month and year for people training anywhere from a few days a week upward, with different equipment and experience. Huberman and Dr. Galpin discuss fitting training around work, relationships and recovery, noting that activities such as hiking with family can serve more than one purpose. A recurring principle Dr. Galpin emphasises is that consistency beats intensity, illustrated by reworking a poorly attended recovery day into training people actually wanted to do.
