RP University is a structured, evidence-based educational video series from RP Strength, led by Dr. Mike Israetel, a sports scientist and bodybuilding coach. The channel functions like a free online university course, systematically covering hypertrophy training, nutrition, and recovery through short, lecture-style videos organized into numbered lessons and sections (e.g., "All About Fat Intake"). Each episode is tightly focused, breaking down complex exercise science and dietary topics—such as macronutrient needs, fat quality, and muscle growth principles—into digestible, academic-style lessons. The tone is instructional and research-driven rather than conversational, appealing to fitness coaches, personal trainers, bodybuilders, and serious lifters who want a deep, science-backed understanding of hypertrophy and diet rather than quick tips. With a growing curriculum of 150+ planned lessons released twice weekly, the show functions as a self-paced educational course, complemented by RP's companion apps for hypertrophy training and diet coaching. Its audience includes strength athletes, nutrition enthusiasts, and health professionals seeking credible, structured fitness education.
