This week I am talking to Zac Robinson about his recent meta-regression analysis that reviewed the influence of the estimated proximity to failure on muscle hypertrophy.

It kicked up quite a storm on social media and some people may have jumped to conclusions. So we have Zac to give us the low down and some great practical insights into how we might apply this new research to our training.
