Dr. Cliff Harvey is back on the pod, this time going deep into strength training. As a weightlifting world record holder and consultant to the likes of Team New Zealand and Joseph Parker, Cliff’s one of NZ’s leading resistance training experts.

In his words, strength training has the biggest bang for buck in terms of long term health outcomes. We strip it right back to understand how it works, and address the biggest issues people have when they’re trying to get stronger. 

That includes:

• The most important principles in resistance training (progressive overload etc.)


• How to use strength training for weight loss 


• The ideal number of sets, reps and frequency for better results


• Why you shouldn’t lift until you can’t lift anymore, and what a better option is


• A 101 in hypertrophy (putting on muscle)


• Under-eating - how it’s a much bigger issue than people realise and how he saw its impact on people with IBS


• Why the recommended daily protein intake is way less than it should be


• The importance of residual movement outside the gym

The great thing about Cliff’s take on all this is he has the scientific knowledge to explain it, but it’s also understandable and usable for everyday people. He knows the studies and he’s seen the results of so many different things - now it’s accessible!
