Hypertrophy for Athletes - Build Mass Without Wasting Time Ep 44 Ryan L'Ecuyer

What’s the least you can do to maintain or even build muscle? How do you balance movement quality with output for athletes? And is there such a thing as “too much” technical obsession?

In this episode, I’m joined by Ryan L’Ecuyer—bodybuilder, strength coach, and expert in hypertrophy and movement strategies. We cover:

✅ Minimal effective dose for hypertrophy (and why less might be more).
 ✅ How to balance athletic movement and output in programming.
 ✅ Smarter ways to train in-season without losing size or strength.
 ✅ Our unfiltered takes on trends in strength & conditioning—and why coaches often overcomplicate the basics.

This one is part masterclass, part comedy special. Whether you’re a coach, athlete, or just someone trying to train for life, you’ll walk away with practical insights (and a few laughs).
