On this episode of ‘2 Dudes, 1 Barbell’, Adam and John talk about the 6 principles of training - Specificity, Overload, Progression, Recovery, Reversibility, Individualisation and why they are important for making gainz.

1. Specificity

The dudes talk about specificity in relation to movement, hypertrophy and weaknesses.

 2. Overload

John explains the basics of overload - Do more than you usually do!

3. Progression (Progressive Overload)

The dudes agree with Greg Doucette in terms of training harder than last week

4. Recovery

The dudes link back to previous episodes about sleep and talk about the relationship between recovery and adaptation

5. Reversibility (Study on rates of detraining)

The dudes briefly explore the differences of detraining on different intensities - High Intensity Strength Training seems to be better the Lower Intensity in terms of reversibility

6. Individualisation 

The dudes quickly talk about the influence of genetics on performance and gainz
