Listen "#259: How Our Hypertrophy Programming Has Changed"
Episode Synopsis
Eric, Jeff, and Alberto discuss how they program their own and their athletes’ training differently than they used to. The coaches talk about how to apply new training techniques and understandings, the benefits of being open-minded, exercise selection, managing fatigue, range of motion, and a lot more. If you’ve been wanting to learn more about training at longer muscle lengths and lengthened partials, this is a great episode to listen to. The coaches go through how to train at longer muscle lengths, potential reasons behind why doing so is beneficial for hypertrophy, and which muscles might benefit the most from lengthened partials.
