The Frequency Roundtable

There’s been a lot of talk about training frequency lately, and a new study on the topic was just published from Colquhoun et al. called “Training Volume, Not Frequency, Indicative of Maximal Strength Adaptations to Resistance Training.”

Well, the MASS team was able to get the lead author Ryan Colquhoun and senior author Dr. Bill Campbell on the line to interview them about the study. This resulted in a 45-minute conversation regarding the specifics of the study, the authors’ own interpretations of the findings, and new horizons for frequency research. Thanks to Ryan and Bill for their time and insight, we hope you enjoy.
