Dr. Eric Helms returns to the podcast to discuss one his recent research papers on the relationship between the size of a caloric surplus, strength, and muscle growth.

In this episode, we cover not only the study itself, but also how it fits within the wider scientific literature on muscle gain, and how you can apply these findings to optimise your gaining phases.
