Episode 332: Muscles, Mind, and Metrics: Biomechanics with Dr. Doug Goldstein


Listen Later

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Doug Goldstein for a deep dive into biomechanics, performance, and recovery. We get into the weeds on muscle performance, body comp, and how to reduce injury risk—stuff that matters whether you're an elite athlete or just trying to move and feel better.

We also explore some cutting-edge tools like Springbok Analytics and dive into how intramuscular dry needling can change muscle properties to enhance performance. Plus, we break down contralateral adaptations, mental performance strategies, and smart approaches to overload.

Lots of real-world applications and case studies in this one — don’t miss it.
