Episode notes
History Reveals Repeated Training Cycles
- The modern information environment speeds learning but also increases dogmatism and overreaction.
- Historical perspectives reveal practices that worked long before contemporary labels existed.
Partial Reps From Intuition Worked
- Eric and Levi used partial ranges on dips and pull-ups because those felt better and targeted stretched positions.
- Those intuitive deviations later aligned with better stimulus for certain muscles.
Swap Better Tools For Familiar Cues
- Know why someone uses a 'wrong' technique and give a better tool that satisfies the same goal.
- Replace ineffective but satisfying cues with methods that feel similar but produce better stimulus.
