-How quickly do we lose strength if we don’t train it
-How much of our strength is our muscle
-How much of our strength is our nervous system’s ability to recruit our muscles better
-Why frequency matters most for strength development
-Why can’t we voluntarily recruit 100% of our capacity for strength

-And much more
