The Top Article of the Week
This week's top article is a huge 2-parter going deep into the science behind both your muscle and strength potential, and how these relate to each other (i.e. the more muscle you have, the higher your potential strength will be).
Part 1 explains the theory of these topics, as well as a balanced discussion of pros and cons of numerous approaches of how best to calculate your potential for muscle and strength, offering an evidence-based recommendation. Part 2 will put these models into action so you can get a good idea of your muscle and strength potential.
Keep your eyes peeled for Part 3 and 4, where Greg will go on to discuss how to choose a weight class, and rectify "strength standards" tables, offering a more objective way to classify lifters.
