Description

In this episode of Hypertrophy: Past and Present, Jake Doleschal and Chris Beardsley discuss one of the strongest bodybuilders of the Silver Era, and the third man to ever bench 500 pounds, Marvin Eder's training routine. 

The second half of the episode takes a deep dive into the mechanisms of strength, why strength isn’t a single adaptation, and why hypertrophy does contribute to strength.

Key Topics:

  • The alignment between old-school programming and recoverability data
  • Why strength isn’t one thing
  • The 6 mechanisms of strength gains (and how they interact)
  • What lateral force transmission is
