Earlier this month I had a fantastic chat with Dr Brad Schoenfeld, a professor of exercise science at Lehman College in New York. His name sits atop more than 400 research papers, most of them on the topic of strength training, making him one of the world’s leading authorities on all things muscle growth.
During our interview, Dr Schoenfeld gave a clear and concise summary of what makes a successful strength training plan – and it’s beautifully straightforward. The equipment doesn’t matter, nor does where you train or what clothes you wear. It doesn’t have to take more than one per cent of your week either.
