Joe DeFranco's Industrial Strength Show

#478 The Art of Building Muscle: Why Mechanical Tension is NOT Always The "Be-All, End-All"...


Listen Later

This week's show is a follow-up from last week's discussion on the effectiveness of EMG testing for determining the best hypertrophy exercises. On today's episode Joe explains why "high activation/low mechanical tension" exercises STILL have a place in the muscle building process. He shares 3 specific reasons WHY they're valuable, along with the importance of knowing when to "trust your experience over science". *For a full list of Show Notes + Timestamps visit www.IndustrialStrengthShow.com.
