Description

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
