Listen to this episode

0:00 / 0:00

Summary

Alberto, Eric, and Jeff discuss how to know if you are progressing at a good rate for your genetics and where you are at in your lifting career, what to do if you aren’t, and the importance of having realistic expectations about how quickly you can progress. What is the difference between progressive overload and progression? Do you want to be more proactive or reactive when it comes to increasing and decreasing load? What is “autoregulated double progression” and how can you use it to help you get the most out of every session? What percentage of hypertrophy is related to volume? What undesirable things can happen when someone puts too much emphasis on beating the logbook? The answers to these questions and many, many, many, more are covered in this episode.

    Ideas, morals, opinions, are incredibly complex in their composition and role in our lives. Why has our culture insisted that we subscribe to a black and white view of our surroundings? Are you tired of seeing in black and white? Are you too scared to try seeing in color? This isn't a political commentary podcast; it's a call to anyone who is tired of polarization.
