"All we know is still infinitely less than all that remains unknown." - William Harvey
I enjoyed my first interview with James so much that I asked him to join me for a second time. You can email James on james.fisher@solent.ac.uk.
James (MSc Exercise Physiology) is the Course Leader for BSc (HONS) Fitness and Personal Training at Southampton Solent University. James has worked with world class professional athletes and he's contributed a large number of research publications to the exercise domain.
In this interview, we discuss:
- If there is any point to training smaller muscle groups like grip.
- How the Pareto Law Principle applies to strength training.
- The potential down sides to a Big 5 and abbreviated workouts
- The benefits of strength training for joint, ligament and tendon health.
- And much more.
