Episode notes
Stimulating Reps Model
- The stimulating reps model considers fatigue and other factors influencing muscle growth.
- It focuses on high motor unit recruitment and mechanical tension for stimulating reps.
Weekly Net Stimulus Model
- The weekly net stimulus model calculates total hypertrophy stimulus, minus atrophy.
- It considers workout stimulus, atrophy effects, and time outside stimulus periods.
Individual Recovery
- Consider individual responses in studies and real-world training.
- High-frequency programs can be ineffective if individuals don't recover between workouts.
