@jeffnippard There’s some pretty cool research showing that people can complete about 1–2 extra reps per set when listening to their preferred music. (PMID: 26106802) Interestingly, the same effect doesn’t seem to apply to maximal strength. Music might help you squeeze out a few extra reps on a set of 5-20, but it probably won’t increase your one rep max strength as much as you’d expect. What I find especially interesting is that your preferred music seems to matter more than the specific genre. So if Lorna Shore helps you train harder, great. If Taylor Swift helps you train harder, that works too. Btw this caption is from my free weekly email newsletter that I send out every week. I try to keep it to about 1 paragraph of info so you can keep up with the latest science as quickly as possible. Link to sign up at the bottom of the link tree in my bio if you’re interested!

A man wearing unconventional and stylish attire (an oversized designer football jersey and high-top sneakers) in a gym setting, creating a visual pattern interrupt. The cool-toned color grading and dynamic walking pose also capture attention.
