The Training Mistake You're Probably Making with Tom Purvis

Muscle Building Month wouldn't be complete without hearing from one of my longtime mentors and friends, Tom Purvis. I call him "The Yoda of Resistance Training," and you'll know why by the end of this episode.

Tom Purvis has been teaching personal trainers around the world since 1989. A primary focus of Tom’s work has been Exercise Mechanics since 1986 when he began researching & teaching.

Tom also exhibits a quality that I have found to be hugely important within my own journeys of fitness, coaching, and personal development: the ability to question your beliefs, and to challenge your thinking.

In today's episode you'll learn:
- How to truly challenge muscles, not just lift weights.
- What it takes to master skills, before working hard.
- A framework for addressing progression.
- Why improper mechanics are so commonplace.
- Plus...the ONE thing you might just be missing in your own training, or as a coach.
