Show Notes
EMG studies, they're the classic "evidence-based" tool to "Um actually" all the bros about what the perfect exercises they should have chosen for every muscle group. Or are they? Today we're joined by returning guest, Ph.D. candidate Andrew Vigotsky, who's published some of the most influential papers on the limitations and the best practice guidance for EMG research. In this episode, we learn what EMG data can and can't tell us, what types of evidence we should rely on to inform exercise selection, and what research we should perform in the future to move the field forward. Ultimately, we unfortunately learn that the good old days of T-Nation articles might be sadly behind us.
