In our first guest episode of the N1 Experience, Kassem speaks with Dr. Eric Helms about real world coaching and how much of it is directly based on science and evidence VS how much is more rooted in principles based on evidence, observation and anecdote. The latter portion of the conversation transitions to the latest research trend suggesting training at longer muscle lengths is superior for hypertrophy. Kassem and Eric discuss the current research, speculate on some of the nuances in particular studies and what they would like to see in future research as well.

00:00 Intro
04:41 what does a science based approach look like for coaches
15:26 is there a correlation between people who label themselves as evidenced based and Dunning Kruger?
19:20 What percentage of coaching decisions are actually science based?
28:58 Principles for exercise selection
33:47 Where does range of motion and muscle length fit in?
36:32 Digging into the research on training at longer muscle lengths
53:27 What are the interesting questions we still have about lengthened biased training?
1:07:56 The benefit exist before the absolute longest muscle lengths, but if length is a factor
1:14:03 COME AT ME BRO! - Kassem ask Eric for his critiques of himself and/or N1
