Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Experience-Driven Coaching Strategies | Ep. 60

Q: If failure is not better than one to two reps in reserve, how would length and supersets past failure be better for growth?

They discuss that extending sets beyond failure might target different muscle lengths more effectively, particularly in exercises like calf raises.

Experience-Driven Coaching Strategies | Ep. 60

Q: In which areas, if any, does your coaching differ from the evidence?

Their coaching strategies involve integrating enjoyment and training preferences into programming, which sometimes diverges from strict evidence-based practices.

Conceptualizing Training Frequency for Strength | Ep. 61

Q: How do you view frequency as a tool?

Frequency can be understood as a dosage tool that affects overall dosage and has an impact on performance and recovery, needing to be personalized based on the athlete's ability to manage training stress.

How Novelty Can Make Your Training More Effective | Ep. 63

Q: What do you think about novelty in programming being a potential influence on strength gains?

Novelty in training can potentially mitigate diminishing returns by resensitizing muscles to stimuli, but more research is needed to firmly establish its benefits.

Managing the Costs of Training to Failure | Ep. 66

Q: You stated that hitting failure on early sets can cost you reps on later sets. What's the implication?

While training to failure can enhance muscle hypertrophy, it may limit performance in later sets, so balancing failure with overall session goal is important.
