162. How to get stronger according to science - With Raphael Bender

There are only 4 key things you need to know to break through a strength plateau, or help your clients get seriously stronger.

Resources mentioned in the episode:

  • 4+ sets per week per movement is required for strength gains here
  • Stop 2-3 reps before failure here
  • Eat 2g protein per kg body weight per day here
  • For young adults 1.6g/kg/day may be enough
  • Caloric surplus makes it a lot easier to get strong here
