How much training should a lifter perform to increase 1RM strength in a squat, bench, and/or deadlift? That was the question Dr. Pak (Patroklos Androulakis-Korakakis) set out to discover.

In this episode of the podcast, we discuss training volume and load (intensity/% of 1RM) to drive 1RM strength improvements. Along the way, we discuss Pak's background, his interest in the topic, other research he's been involved with, and more.

Enjoy!
