Miss programming with you guys. Shame since moving to the states I lost all strength and am skint cos everything here is expensive and I have cycle 15 miles a day to work as I cannot afford the car. Anyways, love the podcast.
@@datadrivenstrength yes 🙌 there seemed to be speculation but that strength wasn’t explained by muscle size - but those are studies that don’t include the population - typically - that’s actually powerlifting or Olympic lifting. It seems straightforward that if your goal is strength you need to also maximize FFM
We tend to agree. It’s just pretty humbling what we see in the research when that concept is tested, hence why we view it as something we value as coaches but isn’t totally evidence based.
@@datadrivenstrength absolutely! Appreciate the data. Just makes sense - more FFM = more opportunity for mechanical tension assuming you use that added FFM to strength train?

RIR-velocity relationship.
If muscle size doesn’t matter then why have weight classes ?
Did you listen to the podcast?
