The Myth of “Muscle Confusion”

Posted on August 15, 2018 By Artemis Scantalides

I recorded Episode 7 of The Body Project podcast with Catherine Tanaka out of Toronto, Ontario in Canada back in April and it was just released this week. Below is a summary of some of the topics we talk about including busting the myth of “Muscle Confusion” around minute 23:55 and why repetition is essential for success with any fitness, physique, or strength training goal.

Tune in to Episode 7 of The Body Project podcast HERE and also available on iTunes.
