Is eccentric lifting better than concentric for cyclists heading to the gym? What's the most efficient, front, back or pause squats?

This pod answers none of those questions, but does give actual useful information for newcomers thinking about adding weights to their training regime. Elite National medalist turned gym-bro Mike Thomas's main messages are to keep things simple, do it over and over again, and don't hurt yourself.

Plus ice cream before bed (NOT A JOKE).
