"Science Based" & The Anti-Optimization Movement with Ben Yanes

LiftingLindsay's More Than Fitness

Rival camps exist between the "evidence-based" coaches and the "bro-science" anecdote coaches in the health and fitness world and I have a fantastic guest today to breakdown the "truth" when it comes to training, hypertrophy, biomechanics, and more!

Ben Yanes is the creator of the Modern Meathead Community, a platform to understand the anatomy of all the major muscles in the body and how to apply that anatomy to training.

We talk about being science based, stretching, squats, and much more!
