In this episode of The Muscle Memoirs Podcast, I am joined by Jake Remmert to discuss the pros and cons of tracking data for strength athletes. We cover metrics that every lifter should track, the nocebo effect, and much more.

He also holds a Bachelor of Science with Honors in Exercise Science, is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, and graduate of the JPS Mentorship program.
