In this episode, I dive into the research behind an intriguing combo: high-intensity progressive resistance training paired with self-talk. The featured study explores how these two strategies affect muscle strength and functional performance in older adults—and the results are worth paying attention to. I break down what the study found, how self-talk influenced outcomes, and what it all means for designing effective, evidence-based training programs for aging populations. Whether you’re a c...
