444 - Does Dr. MacMillan's Eccentric Method Outperform Traditional Training? (Part 1)

Just how powerful are eccentric-focused workouts and what do you need to know to really tap into the benefits for yourself and your clients?    Dr. Michael⁠⁠⁠ MacMillan joins the podcast, drawing from his expertise and wealth of knowledge in biomechanics and his experiences in working with Arthur Jones and designing HIT equipment. He is a retired orthopedic surgeon and former associate professor at the University of Florida, and the co-creator of the NeGator Strength System.   In this episode, we talk about the importance of heavy negative training – and the right way to do it – with its positive impact on bone, ligament, and tendon strength. He also presents some very interesting insights that may challenge our conventional understanding of some aspects of high-intensity training as we know it to be, along with what we can do to get even more out of our HIT workout sessions.   ***
