    • How Muscle Is Built, Why Do We Do Different Exercises, And More On Resistance Profiles

      In this episode, I talk about all things resistance profile. I talk about the logic behind changing resistance profiles, how muscle is built, and why we choose different exercises for muscle growth. This is a slightly more advanced topic than usual, but shoot me an email if you have any questions at all. In short, a resistance profile is how hard an exercise is or feels at certain ranges of motion, and we want to manipulate this for many reasons as discussed in this podcast in order to maximize muscle growth.
