Why More Sets, More Soreness and a New Program Every Month Aren't Building More Muscle
How many sets should you do? How often should you train a muscle? How close to failure should you go?Before answering any of those questions, I want to know what the program is trying to achieve and what the person can recover from.In this episode of Stronger With Time, I'm resharing a conversation I had with Ariel and Matt from Raise the Bar about the way I think about exercise programming af
Why the Shoulder Is So Vulnerable (And What Stabilises It), with Professor Donald Neumann

Stretching Before Training: When It Helps and How Much with Professor Dave Behm
Static stretching before training is one of the most debated habits in the gym.For years, many coaches were told to avoid it because it could impair performance. But as Professor Dave Behm explains in this episode of Stronger With Time, the real answer is more nuanced than simply saying stretching is good or bad.Dave is a university research professor in the School of Human Kinetics and Recreation

Hypertrophy Research in Practice: What Matters for Muscle Growth
Hypertrophy advice can become confusing fast.Different studies, different coaches, different physiological models and different claims online can point to slightly different answers. Sets, reps, frequency, failure, soreness, exercise selection and periodisation are all debated, often with more certainty than the evidence allows.In this episode of Stronger With Time, Tony brings together close to f
How to Program for Hypertrophy: Volume, Frequency & Exercise Selection (with Dr Eric Helms - Part 2)
Hypertrophy programming comes back to a few practical decisions: how close to failure, how much volume, how often, and how much variety.In this episode, I speak with Dr Eric Helms about how to make those decisions with better judgment, and where popular models claim more than the evidence supports.Dr Helms is a PhD researcher in strength and hypertrophy, a coach of physique and strength athletes,
How To Think About Training Advice (with Dr Eric Helms – Part 1)
If you coach or train seriously, you have probably had to weigh different sources of training advice against each other.A successful coach recommends one approach. A research paper seems to suggest another. A physiology-based explanation points somewhere else.In this episode, I speak with Dr Eric Helms about how to think through those conflicts without becoming dogmatic about any one source.Dr Hel
