About this episode

Joe DeFranco questions the extremes of full range of motion training and discusses safe practices for expanding range of motion.

Has full range of motion training gone too far? This week, Joe questions whether the fitness industry pendulum has swung too far — from half reps and poor mobility to forcing extreme ranges of motion that we don't actually have the strength or control to own. He explains the difference between accessing a position and actually owning it, why more range of motion isn't always better, and how to safely expand your ROM without sacrificing joint health and longevity. Joe also covers two other training topics: 1) How long should you rest between sprints when training for speed? 2) The subtle technique adjustment that will instantly make your chest-supported rows more effective! *For a full list of Show Notes w/ Timestamps visit www.IndustrialStrengthShow.com .
