Do hypertrophic adaptations lead to an increase in strength? The authors of the two paper linked below, Dr. Chris Taber and Dr. Jeremy Loenneke, have differing beliefs on this question. In a Weightlifting House first, we hosted this interesting discussion between the two doctors in search of greater understanding between the entwined relationship between the two training qualities. The discovery of truth in this area is monumental, and the implications with regards to athletic training are potentially enormous.
We hope you enjoy this discussion!
