Evidence-Based Nihilism | ETP#100

Eat Train Prosper

Research has dramatically helped to drive the industry forward over the last 10+ years. Thanks to this research we now feel quite confident about some things, such as longer rest periods are better for hypertrophy, frequency is mostly a means of partitioning volume etc… 

But there are many studies which have extremely small effect sizes or state conclusions where it doesn’t seem to matter what we do. Such examples might be: 

Training with “lower” reps vs “higher” reps or progressing with reps vs progressing with weight. 

When it comes to training volume, it’s often stated that more is better up to a point. Is that true for everyone? 

This episode is about going deeper into these studies, and understanding that these things very much matter FOR THE INDIVIDUAL (even if they don’t necessarily matter on a population level).
