Episode notes
INSIGHT

Growth vs Strength Divergence

  • Muscle growth and strength adaptations can diverge, especially in low load training scenarios.
  • Growing muscle doesn't always increase strength, and gaining strength isn't always accompanied by muscle growth.
INSIGHT

Muscle Growth Plateaus Over Time

  • Muscle growth is most robust early in training and plateaus as you approach your genetic potential.
  • Maintaining muscle after initial growth is common; substantial new growth becomes rare.
ANECDOTE

Supervision Enhances Growth

  • Supervised training in studies likely boosts growth by ensuring proper intensity.
  • In real-life unsupervised training, consistent muscle growth is less guaranteed.
