Is there such a thing as too strong? In this episode of The Train With The Best Podcast, Craig Hoffman and Chris Gorres break down the point of diminishing returns in strength training.

They dive into risk mitigation, why more weight doesn’t always mean better performance, and how to train for what really matters—excelling in your sport.
