Continuing from the previous two episodes about powerlifting, Chris and Rob tackle the problem of "work capacity" in this context. What does work capacity mean? What are the underlying physiological adaptations that contribute to changes in work capacity? How should we train to improve work capacity?

In this introductory episode, Chris and Rob explain the underlying adaptations that contribute to powerlifting performance in general terms, and then discuss basic concepts like sets and reps, progression models, potentiation prior to the lifts, and the basic purpose of the training programs from a physiological point of view.

What are strength, speed, and power? We call them athletic qualities but how are they actually improved? In this episode, Chris and Rob explain how strength and speed are each outcomes underpinned by specific, unique adaptations, while power is a second order outcome underpinned by strength and speed.
