Training from Scratch (IV) – Stability (2)
‘Functional’ exercise pays lip service to biomechanics but forgets about mechanical stability, and that’s too bad because you can’t spell ‘biomechanics’ without ‘mechanics’. (Around 3.600 words, estimated reading time 18-20 min.)
Training From Scratch (III) – Stability (1)
Stability training has been FUBAR-ed by ‘functional fitness’ and this post will level the ground so we can build a stable house later. (Around 5.700 words, estimated reading time: 27-30min)
Training From Scratch (Special) – What muscle does that work?
This post applies the Analytic Fitness™ methodology to one of the most common and yet often useless questions in strength training in order to determine when it’s worth bothering.
