Rest periods are one of the most ignored parts of training, and they're often the reason you're exhausted but not actually getting stronger. This episode of Broads is about removing the guesswork. We break down what rest periods do, why more sweat doesn't equal better results, and how mismatching your rest to your goal can stall progress without you realizing it. If your lifts feel inconsistent, your workouts feel randomly hard or way too easy, or you're spending forever in the gym without seeing results, your rest between sets might be the missing piece. That's what this episode is all about. What's Discussed: (00:48) Why rest periods are an overlooked driver of strength and muscle gains (03:25) ATP, creatine phosphate, and what actually recovers between sets (05:03) How rest determines strength, hypertrophy, or endurance outcomes (06:51) Why heavy lifts require three to five minutes of rest (07:46) Using shorter rest to create metabolic stress for muscle growth (09:13) How short rest trains fatigue tolerance and muscular endurance (10:52) What breaks when rest is too short or too long (15:41) Why timing rest separates training from random workouts Head to https://www.broads.app/broadscoach and apply for BroadsCOACH.

In this episode of the Garage Gym Athlete podcast, Jerred and Dave delve into the concept of concurrent training, which combines strength and aerobic training. They discuss a recent study on concurrent training, exploring its effects on muscle protein synthesis and hypertrophy. The conversation covers personal experiences with concurrent training, the interference effect, and the importance of proper programming and nutrition. They emphasize the need for athletes to set clear performance goals and the significance of recovery in achieving those goals. The episode concludes with insights on how to effectively approach hybrid athlete training. Takeaways Concurrent training is essential for overall fitness. The interference effect can impact strength and endurance. Proper programming is crucial for concurrent training success. Nutrition plays a vital role in hybrid athlete training. Setting clear performance goals helps in training. Recovery is as important as training itself. Hypertrophy can be achieved while focusing on performance. Avoid arbitrary goals; focus on measurable metrics. The minimum effective dose is key in training. Don't neglect the importance of sleep and hydration.

Angela examines the intricacies of training for muscle strength, hypertrophy, and endurance, referencing a key paper by Brad Schoenfeld that outlines effective rep ranges for different fitness goals.  She discusses the importance of neuromuscular adaptation for beginners and suggest starting with bodyweight exercises before progressing to kettlebells and heavier weights, as well as the significance of tailored training programs, especially for women undergoing menopause, advocating for high-intensity interval training and heavier lifting. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: Training Ranges: Hypertrophy is typically achieved with 8 to 12 reps, strength with 1 to 5 reps, and endurance with 15 or more reps. It's important to follow a structured program to maximise results. Neuromuscular Adaptation: Beginners will experience significant improvements through neuromuscular adaptation, which involves learning proper movement patterns. Starting with bodyweight exercises like squats and pushups is effective. Progression: As individuals advance, they should gradually incorporate resistance training, starting with bodyweight exercises, then moving to bands, and eventually to weights like kettlebells for functional movements. Training for Life: Emphasis should be placed on training that prepares individuals for everyday activities, such as lifting children or carrying luggage, rather than just focusing on traditional weightlifting.

I answer your questions on everything from blood flow restriction training to building muscle without living in a permanent bulk. He kicks things off by unboxing his new BFR cuffs and explaining why he refuses to have “expert” opinions on things he hasn't actually tried yet, then uses that as a springboard into the bigger theme of the day: trusting your own experience over fitness dogma and internet hype.From there, the conversation dives into practical training strategy: why eating in a long-term caloric surplus can actually slow your overall muscle growth, how to balance training to failure with hypertrophy work, and why cardio-style circuits often fall short when your real goal is building muscle. Matt also breaks down smart variation in calisthenics to prevent overuse issues, how much warm up you really need, and whether you can build 5K and 10K endurance without doing much running.You'll also hear about: • Using blood flow restriction as a tool without overcomplicating your training • The “tortoise vs hare” approach to long-term hypertrophy and body composition • Programming heavy vs lighter “cardio-based” strength work • Rotating exercise variations to protect joints without killing progress • Isometric IsoMax moves that carry over to better push ups and pull ups • Managing elbow pain with better scapular support • Why you don't need bulking, cutting, or macro micromanagement to look better • The difference between what's effective and what's actually necessaryMatt also shares details on the free 28-day starting calisthenics challenge, the Delta Digest email list, and the upcoming RDP video advent calendar focused on making fitness easier and more effective.

In this episode of the Movement Logic Podcast, Laurel Beversdorf and Dr. Sarah Court examine the enduring myths and misinformation around the aesthetic goal of “getting abs.” They analyze the anatomy and function of the abdominal muscles, the cultural evolution of ab training versus core strength and stability training, and the role mechanical tension, muscle length, and training volume play in hypertrophy (muscle growth). Additionally, they discuss how pursuing the aesthetic goal of "getting abs" is different from performance goals related to abdominal strength.The hosts unpack popular misconceptions, such as “abs are made in the kitchen,” or that body composition changes work differently for women than men, or that core stability means never moving your spine. They contrast these myths with what current research on energy balance and hypertrophy training show. They also trace how Pilates, physical therapy, and social media helped shape the modern core strength and stability narrative—one that, in some circles, shifted from building strength through movement to “protecting” the lumbar spine by avoiding it.Additionally, this episode aims to clarify all of the factors that influence the appearance of the abdominal region, and how gendered, moralized, and shame-based messaging about the midsection continues to distort public understanding of exercise and body image.CART CLOSES Nov 1st for Lift for Longevity—SIGN UPFOLLOW @MovementLogicTutorials on InstagramRESOURCESClip: Mel Robbing Podcast interview with Stacy Sims about abs67: Popular Explanations for SI Joint Pain are Wrong, Says Science78: Behemoth Knee Myths20: Pelvic Floor In-Depth with Stephanie Prendergast, MPT54: Alignment Dogma - Spine58: Alignment Dogma - Shoulders48: Alignment Dogma - Pelvis80: Posture Panic Pt. 3 with Author Dr. Beth Linker, PhD50: Bracing versus BreathingSlouch: Posture Panic in Modern America, by Beth LinkerGHD Sit-UpHodges, 2001; PMID: 11181617Kalantari, 2024; PMID: 38565979Brown, 2011; PMID: 21325932Cholewicki, 1999; PMID: 10521659

Want to get stronger, fitter, and stop faffing around aimlessly at the gym? Well, here's an ep on some of the more intermediate to advanced concepts around strength and conditioning with a little Q & A with Harps. We cover things like training volume, hypertrophy, the difference between strength and power rep ranges, and little sneaky tweaks like time under tension and pause reps that make your muscles hate you in the best way. We’ll walk you through free weights verses machines, how to use periodization to stop plateauing, why recovery is essential if you don’t want to burn out, what about cardio (yes, you still need it), how to test your one-rep max without wrecking yourself, and what it really takes to move past beginner level. So, if you're partial to a little training and would love to step it up a little, here's one for you!

Is bigger always better when it comes to strength training? In this episode, Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher break down the science of muscle growth, revealing why increased size doesn't always equal increased strength. From neural adaptations to muscle fiber recruitment, they explore what's really happening inside your body when you train – and why understanding it can transform the way you approach your workouts. Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher talk about increasing muscle size, and when that doesn't happen. Back in the 1980s, a hypothesis by Digby Sale looked at the two key adaptations most people are interested in when it comes to growing their muscle. Hypertrophy is an increase in muscle size. Dr. Fisher explains that, “When we begin strength training, almost 99% of our adaptations and increases in strength are neural.”  Dr. Fisher goes on to say that at some point our hypertrophic adaptations, or increase in muscle size, will kick in which can lead to an increase of muscle strength as well. Did you know that most people aren't able to recruit 30% and maybe 90% of their muscle fibres. Dr. Fisher touches upon a project that looked at the different reactions (and results) between people used to exercise and some who typically don't… “The increase in force and the increase in ability to produce force is a product of our ability to send continued, sustained and higher frequency impulses from our brain to our muscle fibers,” says Dr. Fisher. There are different structures within a muscle: the muscle fascicle, the muscle fiber, and the myofibrils. A 1-2% change in one of them doesn't equal a change in the whole muscle. Dr. Fisher and Amy go through each muscle structure and its role within strength training and in the muscle growth process. It's good to note that “myo” refers to muscle, so myofibril, for instance, refers to a fibril within a muscle. Hypertrophy revolves around an increase in size, while hyperplasia has to do with an increase in numbers. There's some evidence around hyperplasia, though many people still question whether it truly exists. Did you know that somebody that has average size in muscles but is very strong has arguably better muscle quality than somebody who can produce the same amount of force but has much bigger muscles? The conversation touches upon two ways to measure muscle growth, “in vivo” and “in vitro,” as well as muscle architecture, the motivators for wanting to increase the size of one's muscle, and the pennation angle of our muscles. For Dr. Fisher, strength training is wasted on people that just want bigger muscles, as it's a superficial acceptance or adaptation to strength training.     Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!

More sets = more gains? Not so fast. In this episode of The Fitness League, we break down a brand-new meta-analysis that challenges the age-old belief that more training volume always leads to better results. We'll walk you through what 67 studies revealed about how many sets per muscle group actually lead to optimal hypertrophy and strength—and where doing more can actually backfire. Whether you're lifting 3x per week or programming for clients, this is the data-driven breakdown you've been waiting for. Learn the sweet spot for per-session volume, the difference between total vs fractional sets, and how to structure your week for max muscle without burning out.
