Making that connection between movement training and real life is at the core of the ACE Integrated Fitness Training ® (ACE IFT ®) Model, which provides a framework for developing stability or mobility as appropriate in a specific area of the body (phase 1), reintegrating it into full - body movement (phase 2), adding external load and creating a
stimulus for strength gains (phase 3) and increasing movement speed to develop bodily control (phase 4).
This style of working out can be
used for strength gains because by using more weight on the limited - range - of - motion lift you get stronger on the full - range - of - motion lift.
Therefore, it seems likely that
