How should you actually train if your goal is to build muscle and get stronger?

In this episode, we break down the latest American College Sports Medicine (ACSM) resistance training guidelines and turn them into practical advice you can actually use in the gym.

Also, how do the new guidelines compare to what we thought was true before? Many of our beliefs have changed, especially if we rewind to when we first started in the fitness industry (over 20 years ago for Ben).

- How many sets should you do?
- How often should you train each muscle?
- How many reps should you perform?
- Do you need to train to failure?
- How important is exercise selection?
- Does the order of your exercises matter?
- How much volume is actually necessary for muscle growth?
- And how much flexibility do you really have when designing your workout program?

Which common resistance training rules are genuinely useful, which are oversimplifications and which ones should be thrown in the fire?

The good news is that effective resistance training doesn't have to be complicated, so here we tell you the most important things you need to know, and also tell you what you have more flexibility on.
