In this episode Sal, Adam & Justin cover what you need to know to train for four different types of strength. Strength is the ultimate physical pursuit, but did you know there are different types of strength that you can train for? (1:41) The Four Different Types of Strength and How to Train for Them. #1 - Maximal strength. (6:06) Lots of carryover to other types of strength and the real world. Low reps and lifting heavy. Best example: Powerlifter. Phase 1: MAPS Programs. Produces solid, hard-looking body. #2 - Explosive strength. (12:47) How fast and hard your muscles can contract. This makes you agile and athletic. Involves proper technique and efficiency. Best examples: Olympic lifters and sprinters. Most misunderstood type of strength. Lift lightweight fast for a few reps, but not to fatigue. #3 - Strength endurance. (22:52) Muscles exert strength rep after rep (driving a sled, supersets, long high-volume sessions). Best examples: Bodybuilder, running back, and CrossFit athlete. Great for real-world work capacity. Phase 3: MAPS Anabolic and Aesthetic. Best for beginners. Training gives you a great pump. #4 - Relative strength. (29:48) How strong you are for your size. Allows you to move your body through space. Best examples: Gymnastics, wrestlers, and rock climbers. Lots of skill acquisition. Bodyweight exercises, balance exercises, and keeping body weight low. The recommended order and how long to stick in each phase.
