Data Driven Strength | ETP#37
Today we have Zac and Josh of Data Driven Strength on the podcast and we get real into the weeds on what research supports for lifting big weights...and a little bit of getting jacked as well. Zac and Josh take us through what monitoring velocity in your strength training can provide you, the differences in approach for training for strength vs. muscle hypertrophy, and how training at lower RPE and higher RIR can be neurologically beneficial for you strength adaptations. It was really cool to get the time to have this conversation from guys who are deep into the research, application, AND participation in where research meets lifting weights.

We also discuss upcoming strength training cycles we both will transition to during this fall season after exclusively training for hypertrophy for 2+ years.
