They all share a love and appreciation for the programs they have respectively chosen, highlighting the versatility and effectiveness of the MAPS offerings.
The effectiveness of partial reps in training
Partial reps can be effective when used properly. They are not useful for simply lifting more weight, but can be beneficial for targeting specific ranges of motion and strengthening weak points in a lift. They can also be utilized during intense training phases to push beyond failure. However, it is important not to overuse them and prioritize the fundamentals of training.
Program design and meal plan resources
When it comes to program design, following well-established and effective programs can be more valuable than relying solely on books. Studying programs from top coaches, Olympic training routines, and traditional bodybuilding plans can provide valuable insights into program design. As for meal plan resources, it is important to understand nutrition and learn through trial and error. There are resources like the Nutrition Coaching Institute and Precision Nutrition that provide valuable information, but ultimately, experience and individualized approaches are key.
