"How Much Is Just Enough? Minimum Training Recommendations" with Patroklos Androulakis‑Korakakis feat. Colton Haight, Exercise Physiologist, Discover Strength
In this week's episode of "The Discover Strength Podcast" I had the pleasure of sitting down with a Research Assistant at Solent University in the UK. Patroklos Androulakis-Korakakis (PAK) is mere weeks away from becoming Dr. Androulakis-Korakakis, and was kind enough to share some of the research he's using for his Doctoral Thesis.
PAK's main focus for his research work has been on "Minimum Effective Dose" training for powerlifters. In this episode we talk about some of his research and other similar projects that investigate this idea of what is the least one can do to still effectively gain or maintain strength.
His research is extremely applicable to clients and listeners who feel that if they ever miss a workout, it's the end of the world. PAK and I discuss what you can actually expect to achieve training as little as once a week, and just six exercises. Though it may not be "optimal", there is evidence to suggest at the very least you can maintain all your hard work during those times when life gets the busiest.
For anyone who is interested, please reach out to myself ([email protected]) or to PAK ([email protected]) and we'd love to chat more about this topic with you.
