In this episode, I discuss the fear of losing strength and muscle when taking a break from training. I explain the process of building strength and muscle, emphasizing the role of the brain and the specific types of training required for different types of strength. I delve into the effects of stopping training, including muscle loss and decreased strength, and I provide insights from research on strength retention.
