    Greg was recently on the Data Driven Strength podcast to chat about their meta-regression on proximity to failure and hypertrophy. In the episode, Greg, Zac, and Josh discuss what we know about the mechanisms underpinning muscle growth and the weaknesses of the "effective reps" model. We think it's a conversation worth sharing, so we're re-releasing it in our feeds today as a special bonus episode.

TexaSaint ,

Great all around Strength / Hypertrophy oriented podcast

Easily one of the best, if not the best, “Muscle” related podcasts out there on the Webs. But since it was the first ever fitness related podcasts ever put out, that’s to be expected I guess. Tons of great info put out by Eric Trexler and his temporary (?) guest host Greg Nuckols. You can clearly sense the tension b/t them during the podcasts, but it only seems to make each of them up their game to provide outstanding fitness information. Also, just to to be clear, they were promoting a MASS Black Friday sale. They were NOT promoting nor advertising to celebrate a Black Mass this Friday.

Awesome

You all are great. I started a month ago with your first episode and slowly working towards the present. I love your sarcasm not to mention the sarcasm you use when people write bad reviews. Also, your research reviews are awesome

Awesome! Except for how much time y’all take to convert material

Hey all, I love the content you share on your podcast, and I love that you dive so deeply into the material, but I feel confident that you are serving waaaaaay less people than you could. The incredibly long podcast is made all the longer with all the digressions, and meandering you do. It’s just too much. Every episode I’m excited to learn what it is you are covering, and each am every time I get upset by how long it is taking y’all to get through anything.
I say with love and appreciation: you gotta tighten this thing up. Thank you for your service to us all.
