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...

The low-down on rest intervals for single-joint & multi-joint exercises. Hint, there is a difference.
First, let's set the expectation. If you reduce the rest interval between sets of a given workout, your capacity noticably decreases over the course of your working sets. What does get taxed, however, is your aerobic energy system. When rest intervals are lengthened, your ability to produce the desired reps over the course of many working sets is spared which results in a higher training volume. Moral of the story, shorter rest intervals improve your aerobic energy system, longer rest interva...
