(#254) Does the latest research shed new light on the overhead press? Or is this shoddy science that leaves little practical application?

In this episode, I'll discuss some of the latest kettlebell science. Unfortunately, this study had a major flaw and I'll tell you what it is and why it's important to understand the limitations of a study like this.

Additionally, I'll share some specific applications to performing a safe and effective overhead press, whether you use a kettlebell or any other training implement.

I'll even offer a "call to action" for future research in this area.

To maximize the effectiveness of the much-debated overhead press, take a listen to this week's episode.

(#252) What's the difference between training for maximum muscular development and true strength training? Yes, this is often misunderstood.

Thanks to a great question from Ian (one of our loyal listeners to the podcast), I wanted to answer this question in detail - especially since I'm a former bodybuilder.

While it's true that resistance exercise will provide gains in strength and muscle, the way we manipulate training variables has a great deal to do with maximizing results in either area.

I'll explain the key differences.

The Rdella Training® Podcast is published every week with valuable training information and amazing interviews with many "world-class" coaches, experts, and authors in the fitness industry.

In general, the image below depicts differences between training for maximizing muscle mass versus training to maximize strength gains.

There's more to it than this, but this represents a fundamental overview of where the differences begin.

The evidence is highly suggestive that volume plays a key role in muscular development and there is still much more to be learned about volume-based periodization strategies.
