In this episode, Blair and I mostly focus on his recent findings from data on himself and his own clients. Blair has noticed that many of his trained clients have noticed significant lean gains following periods of extending rest from regular training. This is an ideal episode for you if you're a trained individual who is looking to optimise muscle gain over the long-term or a business owner looking to do the same for your clients.

We also cover:

• How periodic lay-offs from training can increase muscle gain in trained individuals
• How this has informed training programming
• Higher frequency vs lower frequency
• Bod Pod vs DEXA vs electric sales
• … and much more
