EP 18. DR. BILL CAMPBELL - THE SECRET SAUCE: SCIENCE OF REFEEDS/DIET BREAKS

Hawk Fit Presents: Anabolic Radio

In this episode of Anabolic Radio I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Bill Campbell from University of South Florida. Dr. Campbell is previous president of the ISSN and currently is a professor conducting research pertaining to physique development and sport science at USF.

Oftentimes, what is currently emerging in the science realms is either validating, or invalidating what coaches do in the real world. All roads lead to Rome, however, there are certain approaches when it comes to nutrition, training, and fat loss that allow us to progress towards the end goal as efficiently and effectively as possible.

We spoke about a variety of topics in this episode ranging from nutrition (refeeds, diet breaks, body recomp.) to training (nuances of calculating training volume, individualizing volume requirements, exercise selection). It was a blast chatting with Dr. Campbell and I want to give a massive thank you to him and his team at USF for the awesome work they’re doing.
