What weight lifting routine does Andy Galpin suggest in the episode Dr. Andy Galpin: Optimal Protocols to Build Strength & Grow Muscles | Huberman Lab Guest Series and the clip Bulgarian Weightlifting Method?
I have a question about this episode Dr. Andy Galpin: Optimal Protocols to Build Strength & Grow Muscles | Huberman Lab Guest Series and this Bulgarian Weightlifting Method. During the Huberman and Dr. Andy Galpin guest series, Dr. Andy Galpin dove into some specific strength tests to find out where one was "weak." I recall a portion being finding your max in a specific lift, then taking a percentage of that max and trying to move it for a certain amount of reps. Can you find that, and any other strength testing protocols Andy Galpin shared, along with the exact steps to implement them?
