In this show Jacky T returns to discuss (with Max) the complexity of training adaptations, why cant we predict training adaptations? Why do we all improve differently when it comes to training cycles? Why do some people make 10-15kg gains and others make 0? How can you maximise your chance to adapt favourably? All this is discussed in the episode 'workout', our 'strength' section is about what makes a good workout, and the 'warm up' is a quick chat about how to take rest days even when you don't want to take them.

Enjoy!
