Ep. 12: Strength Training for All Body Types w/ Melody Schoenfeld & Lee Boyce
For episode 12 this week, I’m joined by the authors of the new book, Strength Training for All Body Types: The Science of Lifting & Levers, Melody Schoenfeld and Lee Boyce!
This book, published by S&C powerhouse Human Kinetics, is a great read for all coaches & athletes, but especially for the hoop world. Their book is all about how to optimize your programming & training based on your body type or special considerations needed due to the unique frame of the athlete.
In the episode, we dive deep on the contents of the book. First, discussing the process of how this project came to life and then getting into the 13 common body types they identify in the book and how programming may look different for each of them.
With this being a basketball-focused podcast, we really explored the long legs, short torso body type as well as the long arms category to give some helpful tips to come of the most common basketball frames we see in the gym.
This episode, and the book, is packed with great takeaways. I would highly suggest grabbing the book, which is available on Amazon, Human Kinetics and most major book stores. Make sure to catch up with Melody and Lee on their websites and show them some love!
