Discover Strength CEO and exercise physiologist Luke Carlson takes you behind the scenes of Project Discover—our ongoing effort to advance the science of strength training and lead the movement in evidence-based exercise.

In this episode, Luke shares: 

• The history of Discover Strength’s published research and collaborations with Dr. James Fisher and Dr. James Steele. 
• Why our supervised, high-quality training environment is ideal for groundbreaking studies. 
• Highlights from past studies on pre-exhaustion, eccentric training, breakdown sets, virtual training, and lengthened partials. 
• The myth-busting findings from our heavy vs. light weights for fat loss study.
• Details on our largest study to date—a deep dive into volume (one set vs. three sets) and its impact on muscle growth.

If you care about training that’s grounded in science—not fads—this episode shows why Discover Strength is the destination for resistance exercise as medicine.
