How Many Weekly Sets Improve Muscle Strength | Dr. Andrew Huberman

In this clip, Dr. Andrew Huberman explains the science-based protocols for resistance training to maximize muscle strength and hypertrophy, highlighting how performing 5 to 15 sets per muscle group per week at 30% to 80% of one-repetition maximum leverages the nervous system's ability to recruit motor units for optimal gains. Dr. Andrew Huberman is a tenured professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford University School of Medicine and host of the Huberman Lab podcast.
