Data Driven Strength Podcast Does the Evidence Now Support Effective Reps? Ft. Greg Nuckols | Ep. 58
7 snips
Dec 18, 2023 Greg Nuckols, fitness expert and founder of Stronger By Science, discusses the new proximity to failure meta-regression and the resurgence of the effective reps model. They explore the desire for a proxy metric of hypertrophy, other factors influencing muscle growth, and the role of metabolic stress. They also touch on the limitations of single number metrics, embracing uncertainty in science, and the popularity of simplistic ideas. Additionally, they discuss the complex relationship between desire, eating behavior, exercise, and energy expenditure, as well as factors influencing muscle protein synthesis and the importance of novelty in training.
