071 How to use AI to learn about hypertrophy

In this episode of Hypertrophy Past & Present, Jake and Chris start with a 1947 Steve Reeves workout before accidentally going down an AI rabbit hole. They discuss the difference between “evidence-based” and “science-based” thinking, and how AI can be used to understand research and design training without simply accepting the first (usually incorrect) answer it gives you.

Key topics include:

Steve Reeves’ 1947 full-body routine, including his rest-pause approachThe difference between evidence-based and science-based approaches to interpreting training researchWhy AI often defaults to conventional answers when asked about training and hypertrophyHow giving AI source material can dramatically change its answersUsing AI to interrogate research, identify patterns in studies, test hypotheses, and accelerate learningThe limitations of using AI to write bodybuilding programs from scratchHow coaches and lifters can use AI without outsourcing their critical thinkingWant to train like a Silver-Era bodybuilder?
