Programming Variables – Density

In today’s episode we continued our recent discussion on programming variables. We’re talking about density in this one!

Training density is the ability to complete a certain amount of work (sets/reps) in a specific amount of time.

In this episode we dive into:

• How does density apply to training?
• What are some ways to change density from a practical standpoint?
• How can changing density alter the desired adaptations?

If you want to learn more about programming variables, specifically density, don’t miss this!
