Will Pre-Exhausting Your Muscles Increase Growth?


Listen Later

Pre-exhaust training is a strength training philosophy popularized in the 1970s. Many bodybuilders still swear by it, but what does the scientific evidence say?

In today's episode, we examine a new study comparing pre-exhaust training with traditional training, and give you our thoughts on when and how to implement it in your own training.

Also, here's the bulletin on "the pre-exhaustion principle" by Nautilus founder Arthur Jones, which we read an excerpt from during the episode (if you want to read the whole thing).
