Summary

In today’s podcast, we dove into training intensification techniques! A training intensifier or intensification technique is simply a method that allows you to get closer to failure, go beyond the initial point of fatigue, extend your sets for longer durations (i.e. more volume per set), and create an exciting new challenge that literally just makes training more fun.

During this episode, Cody will explain the science behind these methods, exactly how to implement them, why you would want to use these in the first place, and finally - 7 specific techniques that you can leave the podcast with!
