#9 : Building Muscle with David Young NSWIS
On Episode 9 of the Musashi R&D Sessions Podcast, Ross and Dhiren are joined by David Young from the NSW Institute of Sport to discuss this week’s topic – Building Muscle. David is the Senior Strength and Conditioning Coach at NSWIS, and the senior S&C trainer for NSWIS’s rowing and cycling programs. The guys thoroughly explore the concept of building muscle mass and strength, touching on the types of training programs, training to failure, and the impact of cardio on muscle gain. David provides his professional recommendations on how often to train, quantity of sets and reps as part of volume, order of exercises, workout duration, and rest between sets. R&D also chime in on stretching before exercise, activation warm ups, and pre-fatiguing for compound exercises. With the revival of Australian sports, the guys discuss the first rounds of NRL and AFL, and Musashi’s own Rob Whittaker announcing his upcoming fight against Darren Till on Fight Island. We also address the anticipation of fans being allowed back into stadiums, and the outcome of crowd-less games and canned cheering. This episode we finish with a few listener questions about how often to change up your routine, how many meals a day is best for muscle gain, and the best sports for building muscle. R&D manage to guess the origin of a famous athlete quote pitched by Hal the Intern, and Dhiren applies the philosophy of Miyamoto Musashi to the topic using the quote: “The path that leads to truth is littered with the bodies of the ignorant.” You can find out more about Strength and Conditioning at NSWIS at: https://www.nswis.com.au/services/str...
