"What to Expect From Your Strength Training Progress" with Exercise Physiologist, Rick Rignell

Have you ever wondered what your strength training progress might look like? When do you start building muscle? How much muscle can you build, and will you just get stronger forever? Who should you look to for an evidence-based approach to strength training progress? What does the scientific literature have to say about strength training progress over the course of a few months, a few years, or a lifetime?

On this week's episode of "The Discover Strength Podcast," I sat down with Senior Exercise Physiologist Rick Rignell to discuss all things strength training progression. We look over what the relevant literature has to say in regards to how we adapt to exercise, and what we can expect in the short and long-term of our strength training careers.

Rick and I describe in detail based on personal, anecdotal, and most importantly research-backed experience on what you can expect your own strength training progress to look like. This means from the day you step into the gym for the first time and start lifting weights, to your last workout ever at 100 years old before you finally kick the bucket. How can we expect our strength training progress to shift over the course of time, and how can we set realistic expectations of strength training progress outcomes.

This is a great episode for new and long-time trainees, and anyone who's interested in what the journey might be like in their own strength training progress. I encourage you to like and share with any friends that may be interested in trying a Discover Strength workout, in person or virtually.
