In the second installment of the Overrated/Underrated series, Dr. Layne Norton ranks the most talked-about muscle-building strategies as overrated, underrated, or properly rated — based purely on the evidence.No hype. No bro-science. Just what the data actually says about what builds muscle, what doesn’t, and what’s been oversold.Layne covers training intensity, proximity to failure, volume, rep ranges, range of motion, exercise selection, muscle confusion, protein timing, post-workout nutrition, and more! He also explains why he recently changed his mind on calorie surplus, why most people are not training as close to failure as they think, and why stretch/lengthened-position tension matters more than most lifters realize.Whether you’re a coach, athlete, or just trying to build muscle efficiently, this episode cuts through the noise so you can stop wasting time on the overrated stuff and double down on what actually moves the needle.#musclebuilding #hypertrophy #evidencedbasedfitness #DrLayneNorton #BiolayneSPONSORS• Workout Builder – Customized training programs for all experience levels: https://biolayne.com/workout-builder• Outwork Nutrition - Evidence-Based Supplements to Support Your Hard Work: https://outworknutrition.comLAYNE'S COMPANIESCarbon Diet Coach: https://joincarbon.com/podcastOutwork Nutrition: https://outworknutrition.comREPS Research Review: https://biolayne.com/repsWorkout Builder: https://biolayne.com/workout-builderTeam Biolayne: https://biolayne.com/online-coachingPhysique Coaching Academy: https://physiquecoachingacademy.comFOLLOW LAYNEhttp://www.facebook.com/laynenortonhttp://www.twitter.com/biolaynehttp://www.instagram.com/biolayneTIMESTAMPS0:00:00 - Intro0:00:43 - Training Intensity0:05:34 - Training to Failure0:07:04 - Training Volume0:09:07 - Rep Ranges0:12:19 - Workout Builder0:13:16 - Range of Motion0:15:31 - Exercise Selection0:18:02 - Muscle Confusion0:19:29 - Tempo0:20:54 - Training Frequency0:22:13 - Protein Intake0:22:54 - Carbohydrates0:24:12 - Outwork Nutrition0:25:39 - Fats0:27:02 - Calorie Surplus0:27:36 - Protein Timing0:28:38 - Protein Quality0:30:12 - Recomposition0:32:15 - Post-Workout Nutrition0:33:28 - Creatine0:35:19 - Testosterone Boosters0:35:51 - OutroSHOW NOTEShttps://biolayne.com/podcasts/dr-layne-norton-podcast/
