  • Optimal Bodybuilding for Weightlifting.

    Optimal Bodybuilding for Weightlifting.
    Jan 12 2024
    With Seb's growing interest in hypertrophy training (pun intended), we decided to deep dive into the theory and practice of effective bodybuilding training for weightlifting. Is it much different from what hypertrophy research teaches us? Does the sport of weightlifting require a unique blend of prescriptive practices?

    In this podcast episode, we survey and break down the landscape as we understand it. This includes a conversation around range of motion, exercise selection, body part training, and other nuanced considerations.
