The JPS Hypertrophy seminar is a full day course designed to educate coaches and athletes of the latest science and its application to hypertrophy training and diet strategies.
Director Jacob Schepis, Coach and Education Manager Lyndon Purcell & Coach and Education Coordinator Martin Refalo combined have years of in the trenches experience and textbook knowledge.
Lecture 1: Physiology of Muscle Growth & Dietary Implications (90 minutes) – By Lyndon Purcell
This presentation will cover the fundamental aspects of muscle growth and how they can be augmented from a nutritional perspective. By understanding the underlying physiology that allows muscle cells to function, as well as the stimuli and signals they respond to, we are better informed on knowing how to induce the desired adaptation. When we have an understanding of the stimuli and signals we are utilizing, we can direct our attention to nutrition and ensure that we are maximizing its role in how effective our entire intervention is.
Lecture 2: Program Design for Muscle Hypertrophy (90 minutes) – By Jacob Schepis
This presentation will provide the foundation for a hypertrophy program training design. The training principles are the guiding concepts that must be satisfied by all well-constructed programs, no matter how varied differing methodologies may be. The training principles are the first step in the process of taking a theoretical understanding of muscle physiology and bringing about practical, real-world results. This lecture will start with a recap on the processes by which muscle tissue is grown and then move into a discussion on how we can conceptually design a program to stimulate maximal muscle growth while avoiding negative outcomes and trade-offs along the way.
Lecture 3: Nutrition Strategies for Muscle Hypertrophy (90 minutes) – By Martin Refalo
This presentation will cover nutrition strategies and diet periodisation to enhance muscle growth. Whilst traditional nutrition practices incorporate distinct phases of ‘bulking’ and ‘cutting’, they have often left many athletes spinning their wheels and for reasons explained in this seminar, may not be an optimal approach for physique athletes. In this lecture, you will learn why such binary nutrition strategies are undesirable for long term body composition development, the importance of certain macronutrients, as well as how to strategically plan, design and implement nutrition protocols that optimize muscle growth.

This seminar was full of great information that has a lot of practical take-away points so utilise with training yourself and clients. I studied a degree in Exercise Science and a seminar such as this, supplements the knowledge learnt because its based on the latest evidence, easily applicable and given in a digestible format. University lectures are like a firehose of information, that is given by a ,sometimes, not so passionate lecturer. This seminar is given by passionate individuals who have the practical and theoretical knowledge on exercising for hypertrophy and are utilising it on clients regularly. Overall, a great course and an enjoyable day.

a very well structured and insightful seminar covering a range of evidence based principles of exercise and strength, and programming principles like periodisation and autoregulation, and having an in depth demonstration/practical component
