Powerlifting, Strength Gain, and Neural Adaptations | Episode 5

In this episode, I recap my recent powerlifting meet, and discuss how we can become stronger without necessarily growing muscle through neural adaptations in our muscles. I discuss some physiology, and the results of a study that tested low, intermediate, and high rep training protocols. I also talk about a common training "periodization" that an athlete would use to prepare for a powerlifting meet, and topics like making weight and carb loading.
