The Science of Muscle Growth: Mechanical Tension, Hormones, and The Pump with Derrick Van Every | Ep 692
Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!
In today's episode, I am joined by Derrick Van Every, a natural pro bodybuilder, coach, and science-based educator. He brings a wealth of firsthand experience and deep knowledge when it comes to building muscle.
We dig into The Science of Muscle Growth: Mechanical Tension, Hormones, and The Pump. Derrick and I break down the myths around “the pump,” soreness, and low vs high rep training, including how to think about long-term progress and realistic expectations.
If you’ve been second-guessing your training or chasing short-term fixes, this conversation will help you cut through the noise and focus on what actually works. Don’t miss out!
