Philosophical Weightlifting Podcast

How much does a particular rep range influence an adaptation? Is it true that muscular endurance, hypertrophy, and strength can only be influenced in a narrow window of reps? In this episode of the podcast, Dr. Pak and I dig into some of the literature surrounding the strength-endurance continuum. This includes available evidence discussing the influence of repetition range on specific adaptations, how Pak uses this evidence to inform practice, and more!Enjoy!The paper that prompted the discussion: https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/trainology/9/1/9_1/_article/-char/ja/Follow Dr. Pak:https://www.instagram.com/dr__pak/https://www.strongerbyscience.com/coaching/pak-androulakis-korakakis/https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Patroklos-Androulakis-KorakakisFollow me:https://www.instagram.com/josh_philwl/
