Summary

You’re hitting those sets of five on triceps pushdowns because you want maximum transfer to bench. Or maybe, you’re doing sets of 8-12 on the big 3, because you want to be strong and big. But damnit, your elbows and hips hate you. Are you doing something wrong? Is this really the best way to train for strength and size? Are you actually being specific in a useful way? In this episode, we discuss not only these topics, but also how they apply when you’ve been away from the gym, like many of us have been due to COVID, and you’re regaining strength you previously had.

0:00.0	Okay, so I want to set the scene for everyone because if you're listening to this, you are part of the resistance.
0:07.5	We're recording this in 2020, but you might be listening to this from the future.

0:46.9	We used to all love missing PRs.
0:49.3	We would go to the gym and then we'd write that lengthy caption on Instagram, coming up with 30 different excuses
0:54.9	on why the humidity was off, and therefore we misgroved it and we missed the lift, and we missed
0:59.2	that sensation.
1:00.8	So I think it would be pertinent both in 2020 and in the future when we're ruled by those

1:12.9	than we ever wore before.
1:15.7	Well, the beauty of these chips that we have is that they also hook up to our ocular implant,
