They explain why in most cases, a more traditional approach to athletic strength training workouts (starting with high-velocity exercises, moving on to heavy strength training exercises, and finishing with plyometrics) is much better than doing contrast training methods that mix the various types of training up into complexes.","meta_description":"Following directly on from last week's podcast episode on potentiation, Chris and Rob talk about contrast training from a physiological perspective.
