Description

Before major competitions - whether regional, national, or world championships or just you maxing out at the gym - lifters use tapering to achieve peak performance on a given day. Unfortunately, most tapering literature has focused on endurance sports, and the current literature on tapering and peaking maximal strength is scarce. Luckily, a group of researchers has taken it upon themselves to fill the literature gap; thus, one of them, Dr. Kyle Travis, is here to provide us with some insight!
