"Is Training to Failure Necessary?" with Dr. Patroklos Androulakis‑Korakakis... Dr. PAK

In this week's episode of "The Discover Strength Podcast" I sat down with Dr. Patroklos Androulakis-Korakakis... aka Dr. PAK.

Dr. PAK was a featured guest on the podcast back in Season 1 when we discussed his doctoral dissertation on Minimum Effective Dose Training in Powerlifters (you can check out that episode HERE). His paper has since been published and featured in newspapers, magazine and articles around the world.

Dr. PAK joins us today to discuss a Meta-Analysis (a study of multiple studies) on training to momentary muscle failure to maximize strength and hypertrophy.
