Pacey Performance Podcast

Contextual vs isolated speed training and the ALTIS weight room philosophy with Stu McMillan (Coach and CEO at ALTIS)


Listen Later

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking to Coach and CEO at ALTIS, Stu McMillan. This episode is 5 years in the making after much stalking on my part to get Stu on and I am so grateful that he was able to squeeze me into a packed schedule, despite the corona virus disruption. There were so many things that I wanted to cover in this episode and given Stu's experience and knowledge, we could have gone for hours. Thank you to the guys that DM'd me with questions for Stu, I hope I did them justice.
