#587 Has Full Range of Motion Training Gone TOO FAR?
Summary
Joe DeFranco argues that the fitness industry has swung too far toward extreme range of motion, urging listeners to "own" their range through control rather than forcing it with gravity. He shares a rest guideline for sprinting—60 seconds per 10 yards—to maximize power output and avoid fatigue. Finally, he corrects common chest-supported row mistakes, advising a slight forward lean and active chest pressure to protect the lower back and target the upper back effectively.
