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.
