Episode notes
Study Importance
- This study on lengthened partials is important due to its large sample size, within-subject design, and focus on trained individuals.
- It addresses the claim that lengthened partials are ineffective for advanced lifters.
Ecological Validity
- Previous studies on lengthened partials only used single exercises, limiting their applicability to real-world training.
- This study used a variety of exercises, reflecting typical gym routines, increasing ecological validity.
Bayesian Thinking in Training
- Think about training approaches using a Bayesian framework, adjusting prior beliefs based on new evidence.
- Weigh new evidence based on its strength and the strength of prior beliefs, not solely on recency.
