🧪 Today in our Lab 🥼 we are going to have a coffee ☕ with Bill DeSimone.

Bill DeSimone, a renowned personal trainer and accomplished author. His unique perspective has challenged conventional wisdom, opening new doors to a healthier and more efficient approach to fitness.
Bill DeSimone has spent several years applying biomechanics to weight training instruction, in order to minimize the risk of both crippling and cumulative injury.
Bill’s personal interest started with the muscle magazines of the 1970s, which led to Mike Mentzer and the High Intensity approach. He describes his training as “HIT influenced, not pure HIT”, because of other resources and activities.
In addition to the personal training, staff training, and presentations, Bill consults with individual trainees worldwide.

We will talk about: #resistancetraining #congruentexercise #momentarmexercise #biomechanics #bodybyscience #arthurjones
