Dr. James Steele

Have you been looking into boosting your strength training client’s results using advanced training techniques and come across lengthened partials as a possible approach to bust out of plateaus?

Dr. James Steele returns to the podcast to talk about his latest study that goes into whether it’s worth your time or not, and how you might be able to use this information for your strength studio clients.

Our conversation goes through what most trainers think versus what the results of the study actually say, and we also go into whether older exercise studies still hold up, if there’s more room to improve when you think you’ve hit your genetic ceiling, and more.

If all roads lead to Rome and you want to know which one an exercise scientist would take, then check out this episode.
