December 03, 2020Episode 3b: Mechanisms of Muscle Gain - Metabolic Stress
Welcome to the 4th episode of the ApexDelta Coaching Podcast.

This is part 2 of a mini-series looking into the mechanisms of muscle growth.
(Part 1 can be found here: https://apexdeltacoachingpodcast.buzzsprout.com/1483177/6548017-episode-3a-mechanisms-of-muscle-gain-mechanical-tension)

In this episode I discuss:
A recap of mechanical tension
Metabolic stress
What is it?
Why does it cause muscle growth?
How can we cause metabolic stress?
How can we apply this to training?
And, What are some other different methods to apply this principle?
