Building Strength for All Bodies with Lee Boyce & Melody Schoenfeld

When it comes to training people, we can often find that we need to gain experience before we can truly see the nuance in lifting styles. If your client's goals are simply to lift more than they used to and be as healthy as possible, there's a wide variety of exercise selections that will help them get there. In this episode, Lee Boyce and Melody Schoenfeld talk about their new book that just released and is available internationally, Strength Training for All Body Types: The Science of Lifting and Levers

"Every person’s body is different. Short, tall, or big all over, training should be designed to accommodate an athlete’s different joint angles, bone lengths, and overall body structure. In Strength Training for All Body Types: The Science of Lifting and Levers, Lee Boyce and Melody Schoenfeld have teamed up to create a unique resource that explains how different bodies manage various exercises and how to best take advantage of physical attributes to optimize those movements."You're definitely going to love this episode. It was amazing to have these two legends on the show!
