Listen "Contextual vs isolated speed training and the ALTIS weight room philosophy with Stu McMillan (Coach and CEO at ALTIS)"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking to Coach and CEO at ALTIS, Stu McMillan. This episode is 5 years in the making after much stalking on my part to get Stu on and I am so grateful that he was able to squeeze me into a packed schedule, despite the corona virus disruption. There were so many things that I wanted to cover in this episode and given Stu's experience and knowledge, we could have gone for hours. Thank you to the guys that DM'd me with questions for Stu, I hope I did them justice.
