In this episode of the Revive Stronger podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Eric Trexler to unpack the role of novelty in muscle growth.
Is switching things up essential for gains, or is it overrated? We’ll dive into the science behind novelty, discuss its pros and cons, and give you practical tips for incorporating it strategically into your training.
Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced lifter, this episode will help you optimise your approach. Don’t miss it!
