Key topics include: • Clancy Ross’ 1940s full-body single set routine • Whether training a muscle every 48 hours can blunt hypertrophy • How repeated bout effect studies can be misapplied to training frequency • Why mTOR signalling is not the same thing as muscle growth • The role of oxidative stress and inflammation in post-workout recovery • How volume, frequency, stress, dieting, and athletic workloads affect recovery • Why the best training frequency is limited by recovery","meta_description":"In this episode of Hypertrophy Past & Present, Jake and Chris begin with a classic Clancy Ross full-body routine from the Silver Era, then move into a…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":5433,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/hypertrophy-past-and-present-7348739/episodes/058-does-mtor-determine-your-optimal-training-frequency/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/hypertrophy-past-and-present-7348739/058-does-mtor-determine-your-optimal-training-frequency.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
