Episode notes
Controlled Momentum Can Boost Hypertrophy
- Slightly looser form and controlled momentum can increase muscle hypertrophy by loading muscles in a stretched position.
- Use this sparingly because looser form raises injury risk and requires advanced control.
Focus On One Exercise Many Sets
- Do fewer exercises but increase sets on one lift to drive neuromuscular adaptation and target specific muscles.
- Pick a main compound and perform many sets (e.g., 9–10) to rapidly improve that movement.
Use Overcoming Isometrics For Fast Strength
- Try overcoming isometrics: push an immovable load with maximal intent for ~10 seconds to recruit more muscle fibers.
- Use for 4–6 weeks to gain strength and tendon durability, then return to dynamic lifts.
