Strength ratios are often talked about, but how well are they truly understood? In this episode, we break down the concept of strength ratios—where they come from, what they actually mean, and how they vary across different sports and training goals.

We explore their role in programming and why not everyone agrees on the same ratios. You’ll also hear about common ways people misinterpret or misapply strength ratios, how they function as qualifiers for other lifts, and the most frequent weak links that need attention.

Whether you’ve been using strength ratios for years or just heard about them, this discussion will help you refine your approach and better understand their value in building balanced, resilient trainees. Tune in for a no-nonsense, practical guide to Strength Ratios!
