Austin Einhorn: Thinking Critically - Part 2 - Ep161

This is part 2 of this discussion. In this episode, Austin and I continue to slay some sacred cows in the fitness world such as “shoulders down and back” and “brace the core”. Austin explains why he doesn’t agree with these platitudes. 

We also discuss at length the concept of standards of strength for all athletes.

We agree that cycling is fundamentally biomechanically similar to running up stairs, and this is why the foot and ankle are so important for cycling. 

I also propose my timeless, non-controversial statement that foam is evil, and Austin shares his perspective on this line of thought. 

We break down the idea of tensegrity patterns in the body and how we can use these as a map to understand and improve movement. 

As our conversation ran over two hours, this episode will be released in two parts. 

Thank you for listening and for your contributions to the podcast, conversations like these are funded by the audience and I am grateful for your consideration.
