Myth Bust Monday is a new series where every monday I will review scientific literature around a specific topic/myth.

That picture frame being so close to the window pisses me off.

[CEOofSleep]

Every 8 minute of Jeff Nippard's videos contain
19g of protein
25g of carbs
12g of fat

[TheBestGinger]

You should do a video completely explaining muscle protein synthesis in detail

[JeffNippard]

Hope you guys like the video! You can check out some of the additional reading in the description box if you're interested and as always, all the scientific references are in there. I'll be back with a travel vlog or two a little later this week and then the first episode of the new "Science Applied" series early next month! Lots of content coming... enjoy!

[empyrealwhiterabbit]

You’re my favorite fitness channel. It feels so lovely to hear the science and build a proper and effective plan based on solid information.
Much appreciated, Jeff!

Jeff, stumbled on your channel a little less than a week ago and i've started following your push/pull/legs split. I think it's a good fit for me right now getting back into the gym after a biceps/labrum repair. I love your science and fact-based approach to the exercises. Don't see a lot of these gym bros on youtube reading research papers (or if they do, they don't explain the findings) - i find this particularly valuable, can't help but wonder - are you a PhD student of sports science or is reading research just a hobby?

[lucasjurys]

Jeff, please, bust this myth: "The Somatotype Myth: Ectomorph Mesomorph Endomorph".
Thank you.

[blacktaxid]

all this science, and the result is...it depends

[jeffbiggs]

Great information as usual. I always appreciate your attention to detail and, since I'm fascinated by the science behind what I'm doing in the gym and in the kitchen, I find your channel very informative and extremely helpful. I also love your science explained series. Keep up the great work!

[chaovisuals]

Thank you for your videos Jeff, I love how they are based off of science and not just “bro science.” I typically do a lot of research myself and your channel has allowed me to save a lot of time! You’re amazing man and I appreciate all the hard work you put into your videos!

[kyledunk]

Hey Jeff, just wanted to say that I just found your channel a couple weeks ago and I've been binge watching your videos. As someone of similar height, you have given me the motivation I had lost in the gym. I've had the best workouts the past couple weeks. Big fan. Keep up the good work!

[MadelineKing]

the effort does not go unnoticed!!! awesome video.

[CasualLaugh]

Great video. The delivery of info was fantastic. Really love your videos! I got excited thinking this would be one of the few videos out there that really highlights and challenges the common myths surrounding protein consumption - particularly in regards to building muscle and even performance. Kinda sucked that even after all the studies, in the end 1g per lbs of body weight as recommended. We pretty much ended up where we started. 1g per lbs has been the rule of thumb for a while now and it seems like there's still a large group of people that are looking for reasons to justify consuming even more despite studies continuing to suggest we're already consuming more than we really need for muscle protein synthesis. I'm more positioned to consume as little protein as possible but still promote MPS because of the effects protein has on aging - it promotes it. Dr. Valter Longo has shown this in his work and Dr. David Sinclair suggest this too (both of these are leading figures in the realm of aging). Dr. Gabrielle Lyons believes in high protein consumption but realises that individuals who regularly and intensely exercise don't need as much protein as someone who doesn't to induce MPS yet for some reason pushes high protein consumption. I want to build muscle but I don't want to speed up aging either. There has to be an optimal amount where someone can build muscle and keep total consume relatively low. Also if 36g of protein is enough for a 200lbs man, isn't adding 164g (200g total) more a little excess? Again love the video but this protein stuff gets super complicated.

[zalmykarimi]

This guy just doesn’t miss. Jeff’s got a video for almost all the top questions re: lifting. Great content!

[ShaunPettigrew]

Quality this, Jeff. My favourite channel on YouTube by far!

[SpacePizza]

I’ve been following Jeff for some time now and I must say this was one of the most informative and helpful videos thus far. Keep it going man!

[jacobfarnsworth]

Jeff, youre the only guy I trust when it comes to health and fitness etc. You do your research, job well done

[erixtian]

As a healthcare practitioner and a fitness coach i appreciate how well you’ve been incorporating evidence based facts! I’ve found tons of value in your videos! Keep em coming! You just gained a new subscriber 🙋🏻‍♂️

[Meliza.Hernandez]

Thanks always for your amazing videos. Can you please make a video, if possible or if you see it worth your while, on the differences between whey and soy isolate protein. I have heard that soy isolate is terrible on the kidney where whey is not. Is this true. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALWAYS MAKING THESE GENIUS VIDEOS!

[mikkolopez]

I was literally searching this topic all over Youtube. Refreshed and saw this video. Such timing!
