Interview with Dr. Milo Wolf | Science based calisthenics tips. 

Thank you for having me Simon! Happy to answer any questions on here.

So cool that you had Mr. Milo on the channel Simon, i've discovered him through an interview with Mike Israetel aswell ! Greg and now Milo amazing insightful guests i appreciated every minut of that interview ! thank you for that

This is EXACTLY what Calisthenics needs, talking with exercise scientists like Milo. Thank you so much for this 🙏🙏🙏!

Whoa, this interview is a lot denser than I was expecting. Definitely not a casual listen on higher speed for me.

Amazing interview! Love the questions Simon! Very applicable to ppl that train. Milo, your answers were very concise and easily understood!

Interesting topic, I'm just a massage therapist and I have no research to back this up but my hypothesis for why hypertrophy would occur at longer muscle length is because there are less myosin in contact with actin when the muscle is stretched. This means that each myosin filament that has traction on its actin counterpart has to work proportionally harder to initiate the movement and thus stimulates more muscle growth.

Nice podcast! Enjoyed it a lot and i think you choose a very good guest for the topics.

Hi Simon, I just wanted to share some anecdotical evidence from my own experience (and I think it's worked for many other people too) related to your question on adding volumen on a weekly basis. When I started doing calisthenics I could just do 1 pull-up, I didn't have any other way to workout and I wanted to do more pull-ups, so unconsciously I just started doing more sets, more sets of only 1 rep, and as the weeks went by I managed to increase my pull-up numbers. So I don't think that adding more sets is a waste of time. I've been using it currently with L-sit press to handstands, for example, increasing sets for a few weeks in a row, then going back to the original number of sets and adding 1 more rep per set, and it's working. This "method" is not mine, I extracted it from Greg Nuckols' Stronger by Science website.

I have replaced my biceps curls in gymnastic rings with partial cable biceps cable curls behind the back. They feel very effective so far. Performance: Single arm with the cable attachment at the height of the hand hanging down. At the beginning of the curl, arm streached as far back as it can work effectively. The load is on the biceps is almost max already at the beginning of the curl.. I curl to the elbow is at 90° without moving the elbow. So partial at the lengthen position. Notice that the elbow doesn't move back at the beginning because the arm is so far behind the back.. That backward movement of the elbow is cheating. Everyone seems to do that in dumbell curls! To curl all the way up in this set up is ineffective, because the load is reduced in the upper part. So this is not for full ROM. I would call this exercise "biceps cable curl behind the back". The closest to this exercise one can get with dumbells is of course sitting leaning back. But I don't feel them the same. It's also too easy to cheat by moving the elbow back at the streached position. Preacher/Scott curls doesn't stretch the biceps maximally. And the load dissappear to soon. But the worst thing with it is that everyone cheat by not compleatly stretching the arm! I guess that's the exercise used in the research, though.

I can't pinpoint that accent 😂
