#19 - Dr. Andy Galpin - Professor / Scientist

Guest - Andy is a tenured Professor in the Center for Sport Performance at CSU Fullerton. He now focuses his attention on teaching classes (Sports Nutrition, Exercise Physiology, Designing Exercise Programs, Applied Strength and Conditioning, Athlete Assessment and Measurement, etc.) and running the BMEP lab (which studies the acute responses and chronic adaptations of human skeletal muscle in response to high force/velocity/power and fatiguing exercise from the whole body, down to the individual muscle fiber and even into the individual DNA. The team does this by taking muscle biopsies from non-athletes and elite athletes from different backgrounds (e.g. normal college student, MMA fighter, Boxer, Weightlifter, etc.)

He stops by to shoot the shit with Christian about what he does and the interests that both have in the sport of fitness, weightlifting and human bio-energetics
