We throw it back of one of our favorite episodes, #77 Youth Training Considerations. Today a great book, Range by David Epstein, will be released and because so many of our ideas about long term athletic development are similar, we figured this would be a good time to refresh your memory about this topic. Max and Chad discuss long term training considerations for youth athletes towards general development and some unique considerations for long term development of weightlifters.
