Huberman Lab · Essentials: Optimal Protocols to Build Strength & Grow Muscles | Dr. Andy Galpin · 24 Sep 2026 podcast

One of the major disservices we've done in this field is convince people that things like strength training are for athletes or for growing bigger muscles. voice-verified

and cardiovascular training are for things like fat loss and heart health. voice-verified

And that is a tremendous disservice because it puts a lot of unnecessary barriers and leads to a lot of false assumptions and then therefore poor actions. voice-verified

We could do a hundred episodes on the benefits of exercise and we could run all the way from voice-verified

mood and focus, um, cognitive tasks, to a better immune function, you'll get less colds, you'll be you'll fight them off more effectively, to mortality, right? voice-verified

So s some of the strongest predictors of how long and how well you will live or exercise. voice-verified

However, voice-verified

There are independent benefits that come from just endurance training, and there are independent benefits that come from strength training. voice-verified

And so to just give you one categorically. voice-verified

Uh the way that you want to think about this is resistance exercise and strength training is the number one tool to combat neuromuscular aging. voice-verified

You cannot get that through any other form of exercise besides heavy overload strength training. voice-verified

If you want to be alive and you want to live by yourself, you have to be able to engage in human movement. voice-verified

If you have voice-verified

Any dysfunction in the neuromuscular system there, then you're not gonna be able to do that. voice-verified

And again, as I mentioned, the only way to preserve that or fight that loss of aging. voice-verified

i is to strength train. voice-verified

So people will tend to hear numbers like you lose about one percent of muscle size per year after age about forty. voice-verified

And that's true. voice-verified

However, what they don't realize is you lose about two to four percent of your strength. voice-verified

per year. voice-verified
