Which exercise is better for building your glutes and quadriceps, the barbell squat or the hip thrust? And which is better for improving your jumping and sprinting performance?

Today, we're discussing a new study that looked into these questions. And we follow that up by answering the following listener questions on hip thrusts versus squats:

Why do training discussions always seem to be either or, never both?
If I'm only gonna do one of them for a big beautiful butt, which one?
Is it productive to do both in the same workout?
I don't like hip thrusts. What is the best foot position to make squats hit the glutes more?
My coach programs squat myo-reps sets, (30 reps @ 70% 1RM). How can I get her to stop?

Lastly, check out the free fitness advent calendar in our workout tracker app StrengthLog! It’s live now and gives you a new workout every day up until Christmas Day.

What is the correlation between grip strength and health? How do you keep yourself motivated when injured? And is muscle soreness really a good sign that your training is working? In this episode, we finish the Q&A we started last week, with five more listener questions on strength training! Timestamps: 01:30 - Question 1: Is muscle soreness a good sign that you've trained hard or just have unaccustomed muscles? And do you stop getting soreness when you reach a particular strength level/habit? 06:00 - Question 2: Is there any study on the connection between grip strength and health? 10:10—Question 3: My problem is that no matter how hard I push myself, I’m just not adding weight to the bar. Why? 17:45 - Question 4: I’d love to hear some perspectives on how to keep motivation up when you’re plateauing or injured. 24:00 - Question 5: I want suggestions for exercises/programs to prepare my body for working out at the gym again in the fall. I haven't worked out in 7–8 years, because I gave birth to 2 children and lived through the toddler years! *** Do you like what you hear so far?

How Little Can You Train and Maintain Your Mass? Q&A Part 1 30:15

Can you maintain your muscle mass with just one full-body workout per week? Are planned deload weeks necessary or overrated? How do you balance squats and deadlifts in the same training program? We’re in the midst of summer and it’s time to answer your best questions! We have five questions this week, and we’ll finish this Q&A round next week with five more. Timestamps: 01:50 - Question 1: How long can you maintain your muscle mass with just one full-body workout weekly? 07:15 - Question 2: Is there any benefit to regularly adding wall-sits to your training to increase your maximum strength in the squat? I hope the answer is no because it's a f*cking pain. 12:20—Question 3: Can you please talk about deloading? I’ve been lifting since January. Should I do deloads periodically? 17:55 - Question 4: Why do you have so many exercises in the StrengthLog app? Don't you think it might trick people into doing anything other than deadlifts ? 21:15 - Question 5: I would love it if you could talk about the difficulties of balancing squats and deadlifts within a training program. *** Do you like what you hear so far?

The pull-up is one of the most classic strength training exercises you can do, and also one of the best!

The Big 6 – Overhead Press: Build True Upper Body Power 59:34

5 weeks ago59:34

59:34

The standing barbell overhead press (also known as a military or shoulder press) is a classic strength training exercise. Before the ascent of the bench press in the 1950s, it was the most important lift for upper body pressing strength. It mainly targets your shoulders and triceps, but it’s also great for the core muscles and athleticism in general. In this episode, we’ll examine this lift in depth, including its technique, biomechanics, muscles worked, and variations. We also spend a lot of time discussing why you shouldn’t give up on the lift once it gets harder and harder to add weight to the barbell. The overhead press will love you back if you only give it the attention it deserves, we promise. This is the fourth episode in our series covering ”The Big 6” exercises: the bench press , squat , deadlift , overhead press, different kinds of rows, and pull-up/lat pulldown.

If you improve your cardio fitness , will you also perform better in the gym and recover faster between sets? That’s a common hypothesis in the gym world. If proven true, it would be another good reason for adding more cardio training into your routine , since better recovery should mean bigger strength gains in the long run (pun intended). That’s the topic today, and we have a new study that examined the relationship between oxygen uptake (VO2 max) and recovery between sets, within-set fatigue, and whether men and women recover at different rates. *** Do you like what you hear so far?
