In this episode of MASS Office Hours, Dr. Eric Trexler and Dr. Eric Helms answer questions submitted by listeners and viewers in the live chat. They begin by announcing next week's special guest, hypertrophy expert Dr. Brad Schoenfeld. Much of the episode focuses on training topics like long-length partials, push/pull ratios, bringing up lagging muscle groups, injury prevention perspectives, plyometrics, addressing inconsistent training habits, and much more.
