Data Driven Strength Podcast
Which Reps are the Most Efficient for Strength? | Ep. 53
Mar 27, 2023
The podcast discusses the relationship between velocity loss and strength gains, highlighting the dose-response relationship and limitations of velocity loss research. It also explores the impact of proximity to failure on strength gains, emphasizing the importance of volume. The significance of indicator sets and velocity loss thresholds for powerlifters is examined, along with evolving thoughts on training approaches and individualization.

Quick takeaways
- Moderate velocity loss thresholds generally lead to the greatest strength gains, while lower velocity loss thresholds are more efficient in terms of strength gains per rep.
- Volume plays a significant role in driving strength gains, and equating volume between different velocity loss groups is crucial to accurately assess the influence of velocity loss on strength gains.
Deep dives
The relationship between velocity loss and strength gains
The podcast discusses a recent meta-analysis that examines the relationship between velocity loss and strength gains. The study found that moderate velocity loss thresholds generally led to the greatest strength gains, while lower velocity loss thresholds were more efficient in terms of strength gains per rep. However, the analysis also highlighted the limitation of velocity loss research in not controlling for volume. It is suggested that volume may play a significant role in driving strength gains, as evidenced by studies that equated volume between different velocity loss groups. The podcast emphasizes the need for further research to better understand the relationship between velocity loss, volume, and strength gains.
