Ever wondered why bodybuilders train differently than powerlifters?
Wouldn't training that gets you super strong, also make you super jacked?
Or are they seperate goals entirely?
Back as our first three-peat guest, Dr. Eric Helms breaks down the difference between training for strength and training for muscle growth.
If you have seen any of Eric's work, you will know he know's his shit. And especially so when it comes to the literature on strength and hypertrophy.
As a current powerlifter competitor and world class natural bodybuilder, Eric also has as stack of years in the trenches to back up what he says.
You can also catch Eric in Ep. 13 on protein for Vegans and Ep. 30 on concurrent training.
