Summary

Chris and Rob walk through the major physiological adaptations that contribute to increases in maximum strength and give examples of how these adaptations can be stimulated by specific elements within a strength training program. Since maximum strength is an externally-measured outcome, it cannot be stimulated to increase directly. We must instead create a range of specific underlying adaptations, each of which have their own unique stimuli.
