Pak's PhD "The minimum effective dose for strength"


Listen Later

On the third episode of the podcast that made Joe Rogan quit, we take a deep dive in the infamous MinimumDose™ universe with Pak as our trusted guide. 

*you asking* Wait, how is Pak taking you both for a deep dive when Pak is indeed, one of you?! 

Nice try MATRIX, we're not answering that question.

TLDR: a few heavy sets per week are enough for strength gains. There you go. Saved you almost an hour of your life. YOU'RE WELCOME.
