Closed Kinematic Chains, Pre-exhausting, Volume vs. Intensity, & Star Wars vs. Tolkien...

The Muscle Mentors Podcast

Welcome back to The Muscle Mentors Podcast! In this episode, Luke, Paul, and Ross sit down to run through some questions from our Instagram and Education Portal community. Want to learn more from us and get early access to the podcast? Head over to The Muscle Mentors Education Portal and join our epic community of coaches there: www.themusclementors.co.uk/ We covered: - Closed Kinematic Chains & the Pre-exhaust Concept: is there a potential benefit seen in performing knee extensions prior to a closed kinematic chain lower body movement like a leg press? - Volume vs Intensity: during a dieting phase, should one be prioritised over another? How do we determine training volume at all? - The Knee vs The Elbow: how many degrees of freedom do we have available at each of these joints, and how does this translate to our training? - The importance of Time Under Tension: how useful is this for our muscle growth goals? - Star Wars vs Tolkien's works: which is the better fantasy universe...? And more. Thanks to everyone who provided questions, and also to the rest of you tuning in to listen. We hope you enjoy the episode and, as usual, take some value from the conversation.
