  • 00:00:02
    hey guys a while ago I did a Hands-On
  • 00:00:04
    lecture for a group of physical therapy
  • 00:00:06
    students via zoom and I recorded the
  • 00:00:08
    entire thing so that you guys could
  • 00:00:10
    check it out as well now what I've done
  • 00:00:12
    is I've included the slides in a link
  • 00:00:14
    Down Below in the description so check
  • 00:00:16
    that out and follow along with me as we
  • 00:00:18
    cover everything to do with creating a
  • 00:00:21
    resistance training program starting
  • 00:00:23
    with the needs analysis and going
  • 00:00:25
    through exercise selection variation
  • 00:00:28
    frequency periodization not in that
  • 00:00:30
    order but we cover the nuts and bolts of
  • 00:00:33
    how to design a resistance training
  • 00:00:35
    program based on scientific principles
  • 00:00:37
    and based Loosely on the cscs guidelines
  • 00:00:40
    so check out this full length lecture
  • 00:00:42
    pause at any time to take notes and stay
  • 00:00:44
    tuned to the end for some really
  • 00:00:45
    excellent questions that the PT students
  • 00:00:48
    asked hope you guys enjoy can you guys
  • 00:00:50
    see that okay I don't it looks good okay
  • 00:00:54
    thanks I I don't have my own Scott the
  • 00:00:56
    video guy yet and for those of you who
  • 00:00:58
    get that reference I know Jacob you'll
  • 00:00:59
    get so so I got to make do on my own
  • 00:01:02
    okay all right so we're going to go
  • 00:01:05
    through essentially these these this is
  • 00:01:08
    Loosely based on nsca guidelines but
  • 00:01:10
    then I'll have some anecdotes and some
  • 00:01:12
    points where I differ and at the end
  • 00:01:15
    what we can do is is kind of tie it back
  • 00:01:17
    into pts specifically okay but also stop
  • 00:01:21
    me at any point if you have any
  • 00:01:22
    questions and you know happy to just
  • 00:01:25
    discuss around these points these are
  • 00:01:26
    the steps to go through when creating a
  • 00:01:29
    resistance training program and these
  • 00:01:32
    steps are generalizable to a lot of
  • 00:01:35
    different different what's the word I'm
  • 00:01:37
    looking for career options to a lot of
  • 00:01:40
    different practitioners right so these
  • 00:01:41
    steps are generalizable to a lot of
  • 00:01:43
    different practitioners whether you're a
  • 00:01:45
    strength conditioning coach obviously
  • 00:01:47
    they're going to apply to them most
  • 00:01:49
    specifically but obviously PT OTS
  • 00:01:52
    sometimes athletic trainers sometimes
  • 00:01:55
    you uh you know different different
  • 00:01:57
    domains are in charge of prescribing
  • 00:01:58
    exercise and it's also important to
  • 00:02:01
    understand them so that when you're
  • 00:02:02
    interfacing with the strength coach you
  • 00:02:04
    know where she or he is coming from as
  • 00:02:07
    far as the program that they're putting
  • 00:02:08
    together okay so these are the steps
  • 00:02:10
    that they would walk through more or
  • 00:02:12
    less in order when creating a resistance
  • 00:02:14
    training program so the first one is a
  • 00:02:16
    needs analysis and let's see and a needs
  • 00:02:20
    analysis it's essentially a sports
  • 00:02:22
    demands assessment okay it can include a
  • 00:02:26
    bunch of different components one of
  • 00:02:28
    which is an individual athlete
  • 00:02:30
    evaluation that individual athlete
  • 00:02:32
    evaluation takes into account
  • 00:02:34
    potentially something like a functional
  • 00:02:36
    movement screen potentially strength and
  • 00:02:38
    power assessment or energy system
  • 00:02:40
    analysis and this is all this is all
  • 00:02:43
    dependent upon what type of athlete
  • 00:02:45
    you're working with what the scope
  • 00:02:47
    you're working with them includes like
  • 00:02:48
    are you their actual strength coach or
  • 00:02:50
    are you their PT interfacing with the
  • 00:02:52
    strength coach right you're probably not
  • 00:02:53
    if you're the latter you're probably not
  • 00:02:55
    going to do an energy system analysis
  • 00:02:57
    for this athlete U but just know that
  • 00:02:59
    this is these these are some of the
  • 00:03:00
    things that go into a needs analysis
  • 00:03:02
    okay so more components of a needs
  • 00:03:04
    analysis we can think of it in two
  • 00:03:07
    different sections the first section is
  • 00:03:09
    a sport specific demands analysis so
  • 00:03:11
    let's say that you all are working with
  • 00:03:13
    a soccer athlete okay you're going to
  • 00:03:15
    have to now break down the sport of
  • 00:03:17
    soccer and think what are the work to
  • 00:03:19
    rest ratios in soccer what are the
  • 00:03:21
    typical movement patterns in soccer yeah
  • 00:03:23
    there's kicking and there's running but
  • 00:03:25
    what kind of running there's change of
  • 00:03:27
    Direction what kind of change of
  • 00:03:28
    direction is it frontal plane movement
  • 00:03:31
    is it sagittal with some s-curves is it
  • 00:03:34
    multidirectional with a wide variety of
  • 00:03:36
    changes which is closer to what it is
  • 00:03:39
    with some long linear Sprints okay what
  • 00:03:42
    are the what are the movement demands
  • 00:03:43
    what are the time characteristics of the
  • 00:03:45
    game okay I think I mentioned work to
  • 00:03:47
    rest ratios how long are they running
  • 00:03:49
    for how much of that is highs speed
  • 00:03:50
    running versus low speed running versus
  • 00:03:52
    walking versus standing and is at
  • 00:03:54
    different for different positions okay
  • 00:03:56
    what is the athlete that you're working
  • 00:03:57
    with what position are they if they're
  • 00:03:59
    the goalie it's going to be a lot
  • 00:04:00
    different than if they're the midfielder
  • 00:04:02
    all right so Sports specific demands are
  • 00:04:04
    first now the sports specific demands
  • 00:04:06
    are are roughly the same for every
  • 00:04:08
    athlete in that sport obviously
  • 00:04:10
    dependent on skill level as well but
  • 00:04:12
    then we drill down into the athlete
  • 00:04:14
    maybe you could have two of the exact
  • 00:04:16
    same positional athletes but they might
  • 00:04:18
    have wildly different needs okay one
  • 00:04:21
    might get the job done being shorter and
  • 00:04:23
    and more muscular more compact okay
  • 00:04:25
    having high turnover with their lower
  • 00:04:28
    their smaller pendulum Limbs and another
  • 00:04:31
    might be more lanky with a longer reach
  • 00:04:33
    all right they might be taller and so
  • 00:04:35
    they're going to have because of their
  • 00:04:36
    different anthropometry they're going to
  • 00:04:38
    have some different needs in the weight
  • 00:04:39
    room and that's that may change what you
  • 00:04:41
    prescribe them okay maybe we're doing
  • 00:04:44
    low handle hexar deadlifts with the
  • 00:04:46
    shorter athlete maybe even deficit and
  • 00:04:48
    for that taller athlete maybe you need
  • 00:04:50
    to stick to the high handle on the hexar
  • 00:04:52
    deadlifts okay so it's going to it's
  • 00:04:53
    going to change the specifics but maybe
  • 00:04:56
    not the overall philosophy of the
  • 00:04:59
    training program the overall thrust of
  • 00:05:00
    the training program right we can we can
  • 00:05:02
    use a lot of different tools to get from
  • 00:05:05
    point A to point B depending on the
  • 00:05:08
    different athletes that are presented to
  • 00:05:09
    us now if we're drilling deeper into
  • 00:05:11
    each of these analyzing the sport
  • 00:05:12
    specific demands okay these are going to
  • 00:05:14
    include first physio physiological
  • 00:05:16
    aspects I've already mentioned the types
  • 00:05:18
    of movement and the work to rest ratios
  • 00:05:20
    but we need to consider the components
  • 00:05:22
    of endurance is there an endurance
  • 00:05:24
    component and is there a strength
  • 00:05:26
    component a power speed agility
  • 00:05:28
    flexibility requirements I would argue
  • 00:05:30
    that every sport has requirements in all
  • 00:05:32
    of these it just depends on the ratio
  • 00:05:35
    think about a 100 meter Sprinter we're
  • 00:05:37
    just doing this in class the other day
  • 00:05:39
    we were assessing training sprinters
  • 00:05:41
    watching a video of them actually go
  • 00:05:43
    through practice and I asked them you
  • 00:05:45
    know it's we know that the Energy System
  • 00:05:48
    the primary Energy System is a creatin
  • 00:05:50
    phospate system but why might these
  • 00:05:53
    sprinters need to pay some attention to
  • 00:05:56
    their aerobic metabolism as well okay in
  • 00:05:59
    in the answer is because during practice
  • 00:06:01
    they're not just doing one Sprint
  • 00:06:03
    they're sprinting and recovering
  • 00:06:04
    sprinting and recovering and yeah they
  • 00:06:06
    take a long time between Max separate
  • 00:06:08
    Sprints but that Aerobic System is
  • 00:06:10
    what's driving the resynthesis of ATP
  • 00:06:14
    and the replenishment of
  • 00:06:16
    phosphate okay and the better they can
  • 00:06:18
    do that the better work capacity they're
  • 00:06:20
    going to have in order to handle and
  • 00:06:23
    adapt to those practices okay so we want
  • 00:06:25
    to be thinking about all of these
  • 00:06:26
    regardless of the athlete who's in front
  • 00:06:28
    of you next is biomechanical factors and
  • 00:06:31
    this is the common movements performed
  • 00:06:33
    as I mentioned previously technical
  • 00:06:35
    skills and injury risks so if you're
  • 00:06:37
    dealing with someone like a powerlifter
  • 00:06:40
    a low-skilled sport no offense Jacob a
  • 00:06:43
    low skilled sport versus let's say a
  • 00:06:45
    gymnast these are two different sports
  • 00:06:47
    individual sports with you know where
  • 00:06:50
    you take an attempt and you're either
  • 00:06:52
    successful or you're not and one
  • 00:06:54
    requires very low skill squat bench
  • 00:06:57
    deadlift okay and the other is very high
  • 00:06:59
    skll skill lots of dynamic moving
  • 00:07:01
    components that you can mix and match
  • 00:07:03
    together on different implements so we
  • 00:07:05
    need to assess those things as well next
  • 00:07:08
    psychological elements so things like
  • 00:07:10
    mental resilience decision-making and
  • 00:07:12
    concentration needs if you have let's
  • 00:07:14
    say a Competitive Cyclist that's going
  • 00:07:16
    to be a different heads space than if
  • 00:07:18
    you have a competitive arm wrestler
  • 00:07:19
    right and so when we're designing
  • 00:07:21
    resistance training programs that's
  • 00:07:23
    something to think about because often
  • 00:07:24
    times if you're the one designing the
  • 00:07:26
    program you're also the one who's
  • 00:07:27
    coordinating their overall H istic
  • 00:07:30
    training interventions not always but
  • 00:07:32
    often okay you're looked to as the
  • 00:07:34
    expert for how to enhance performance
  • 00:07:37
    through training and so you might be the
  • 00:07:38
    one to call in a sports psychologist
  • 00:07:41
    psychologist or even to start
  • 00:07:43
    investigating some of these sports
  • 00:07:44
    psychology tactics okay now athlete
  • 00:07:46
    assessment I touched on a lot of these
  • 00:07:48
    but how are we assessing the athletes
  • 00:07:50
    first physical capacities so strength
  • 00:07:53
    power endurance flexibility body
  • 00:07:56
    composition we won't go through how to
  • 00:07:58
    assess all of those but know that you
  • 00:07:59
    should be assessing those as far as they
  • 00:08:02
    relate to the program you're making for
  • 00:08:04
    the athlete next what are the technical
  • 00:08:06
    skills sports specific techniques and
  • 00:08:08
    tactics and then their personal injury
  • 00:08:10
    history and risk factors I mentioned
  • 00:08:13
    short versus tall okay different
  • 00:08:15
    movement pattern Styles also take a look
  • 00:08:18
    at you know have they had hamstring
  • 00:08:20
    poles before have they done their ACL
  • 00:08:22
    and had it reconstructed do they have
  • 00:08:23
    shoulder impingement issues what is
  • 00:08:25
    their history and then finally the
  • 00:08:27
    athletes goals obviously you could have
  • 00:08:30
    two identical athletes but if they have
  • 00:08:31
    different goals you're going to have
  • 00:08:32
    different programs for those athletes
  • 00:08:34
    it's not going to be a one- siiz fitall
  • 00:08:35
    program so what are their outcome goals
  • 00:08:38
    you know the focus of the actual result
  • 00:08:40
    of competition what are their
  • 00:08:42
    performance goals as far as the marks
  • 00:08:44
    that they want to hit let's say for
  • 00:08:45
    example here running a sub five minute
  • 00:08:47
    mile could be a performance goal and
  • 00:08:49
    then a process goal what are they going
  • 00:08:51
    to do along the way to get to those
  • 00:08:53
    goals and having those three things
  • 00:08:55
    established will help you both to be
  • 00:08:57
    accountable to creating a training
  • 00:08:59
    program that sees them along the path
  • 00:09:01
    from point A to point B for that outcome
  • 00:09:03
    goal and the performance goals oh cool
  • 00:09:05
    perfect cuz I can't see everybody's
  • 00:09:08
    camera so yeah maybe just oh yeah if you
  • 00:09:10
    guys drop them in the chat and then
  • 00:09:12
    Jacob if you articulate them that might
  • 00:09:15
    be easiest or just unmute yourself and
  • 00:09:17
    interrupt me that's fine too okay cool
  • 00:09:19
    I'll keep going and also I'm recognizing
  • 00:09:21
    the time I Bas I'm spending too much
  • 00:09:24
    time on each slide typical Professor all
  • 00:09:27
    right so needs analysis is done okay you
  • 00:09:29
    have that you have an understanding of
  • 00:09:31
    the sport of the athlete and their goals
  • 00:09:34
    now we need to actually start generating
  • 00:09:36
    the training program so what I want you
  • 00:09:37
    to do is to think about an athlete
  • 00:09:40
    archetype in your mind some sort of a
  • 00:09:41
    placeholder for a specific athlete that
  • 00:09:43
    you would be making a a training program
  • 00:09:45
    for so that as I'm talking you can apply
  • 00:09:47
    these principles to them okay so
  • 00:09:49
    training frequency how do we establish
  • 00:09:52
    training frequency well first we need to
  • 00:09:54
    align frequency with training objectives
  • 00:09:56
    and goals okay also with individual
  • 00:09:59
    factors such as recovery capacity age
  • 00:10:02
    experience if you're working with an
  • 00:10:04
    octogenarian and I've worked with some
  • 00:10:05
    octogenarians in my time they're amazing
  • 00:10:08
    individuals but let's just say that they
  • 00:10:10
    don't have the highest ability for
  • 00:10:12
    training frequency I'm not going to be
  • 00:10:13
    training them every single day okay they
  • 00:10:16
    need a few days to recover between
  • 00:10:19
    training bouts now obviously I I could
  • 00:10:22
    also and I and I actually do this if I'm
  • 00:10:24
    training with elderly folks what I do
  • 00:10:26
    typically is I adjust the volume and
  • 00:10:28
    bring it down so that we we can get more
  • 00:10:30
    frequent training and therefore better
  • 00:10:33
    skill development with more touches on
  • 00:10:35
    those lifts um with with a lower fatigue
  • 00:10:39
    impact from that training session so
  • 00:10:41
    there's lot of lots of ways you can sort
  • 00:10:43
    of adjust these factors but just know
  • 00:10:46
    that these are the principles okay we
  • 00:10:48
    with training frequency we want a a
  • 00:10:50
    balance of volume and intensity okay we
  • 00:10:53
    want to balance the workload to allow
  • 00:10:54
    for Recovery if we're doing very very
  • 00:10:57
    intense work in the weight room
  • 00:10:59
    then we need a long time to recover and
  • 00:11:02
    not as much volume of it okay you're not
  • 00:11:04
    going to go in well most of you
  • 00:11:05
    shouldn't go in and have your athletes
  • 00:11:07
    do you know 10 singles at 95% of their 1
  • 00:11:11
    RM on a compound movement that's just
  • 00:11:13
    going to be too much unless you have an
  • 00:11:15
    advanced athlete who's in a peing phase
  • 00:11:17
    or maybe like a super compensation phase
  • 00:11:19
    right before a peing phase okay we need
  • 00:11:22
    to balance the volume and intensity if
  • 00:11:24
    you have very low intensity work maybe
  • 00:11:26
    some more extensive work maybe it's a
  • 00:11:28
    gpp phase
  • 00:11:29
    General preparation phase it's the
  • 00:11:31
    offseason or something you can have
  • 00:11:33
    lower volume work and sorry lower
  • 00:11:35
    intensity work with much greater volume
  • 00:11:38
    all right and we and we'll talk about
  • 00:11:39
    periodization here at the end what's the
  • 00:11:41
    exercise selection so are you doing
  • 00:11:42
    compound explosive movements are you
  • 00:11:44
    doing High CNS fatigue movements are you
  • 00:11:47
    doing movements that cause a lot of Doms
  • 00:11:49
    delay onset muscle soreness well then
  • 00:11:51
    you might have to adjust the frequency
  • 00:11:52
    for that or are you doing movements that
  • 00:11:54
    are pretty easy to recover from right so
  • 00:11:57
    for instance if I'm if I'm have an
  • 00:11:58
    athlete and they're training deltoids
  • 00:12:01
    okay they're training their shoulders
  • 00:12:02
    for whatever reason um those are very
  • 00:12:05
    small muscles and they're more slow
  • 00:12:07
    twitch and they're faster to recover
  • 00:12:09
    then there's not a lot of central
  • 00:12:10
    fatigue that comes from that so you
  • 00:12:11
    could train you could train shoulders
  • 00:12:13
    maybe three four or five times a week
  • 00:12:16
    depending on the athlete without a ton
  • 00:12:18
    of fatigue that's accumulating contrast
  • 00:12:21
    that with an athlete who you know maybe
  • 00:12:22
    we training some sort of a loaded hip
  • 00:12:24
    hinge movement maybe it's rdls Romanian
  • 00:12:27
    deadlifts a lot of fatigue from that
  • 00:12:29
    okay and the hamstrings are more fast
  • 00:12:31
    twitch and there's a lot of muscle mass
  • 00:12:33
    that we're stimulating and there's a
  • 00:12:34
    high CNS toll from those from that type
  • 00:12:37
    of movement so I'm not going to train
  • 00:12:39
    those five days a week all right maybe
  • 00:12:41
    two days at most sometimes one day maybe
  • 00:12:44
    one and a half all right so that's
  • 00:12:46
    that's going to change it and then we
  • 00:12:47
    have to monitor progress okay you can
  • 00:12:49
    adjust frequency obviously based on
  • 00:12:52
    performance and Recovery status of the
  • 00:12:53
    athlete some other factors that
  • 00:12:55
    influence training frequency we're going
  • 00:12:56
    to have training goals okay is there
  • 00:12:59
    goal strength is it hypertrophy is it
  • 00:13:02
    endurance that might change how you
  • 00:13:05
    prescribe frequency for instance with
  • 00:13:07
    strength often times because it's
  • 00:13:09
    moderate to low volume you could maybe
  • 00:13:11
    get away with a lower volume strength
  • 00:13:13
    plan and then prescribe that lift more
  • 00:13:15
    frequently if you're doing hypertrophy
  • 00:13:17
    though often times those sessions need
  • 00:13:20
    to be longer or there's more volume in
  • 00:13:22
    the session so we need more time and if
  • 00:13:24
    we think of the time course of
  • 00:13:25
    adaptation to hypertrophy training and
  • 00:13:28
    the muscles actually going through the
  • 00:13:30
    Dom cycle and and rebuilding themselves
  • 00:13:33
    it take it can take several days right 3
  • 00:13:35
    to five days U five being on the kind of
  • 00:13:38
    extreme end adaptations to strength
  • 00:13:41
    especially if it's a lower volume
  • 00:13:42
    strength session well a lot of that is
  • 00:13:45
    neuromuscular okay and so that can
  • 00:13:47
    actually happen a little bit more
  • 00:13:48
    quickly same thing with power exercises
  • 00:13:51
    that a lot of that is neuromuscular and
  • 00:13:52
    especially if it's low volume again and
  • 00:13:54
    so you might be able to turn around and
  • 00:13:55
    train it train it again more frequently
  • 00:13:57
    um also athletes level beginner
  • 00:13:59
    intermediate Advance is going to change
  • 00:14:01
    this beginners can get away well it kind
  • 00:14:04
    of goes both ways they can get away with
  • 00:14:06
    more frequent training because their
  • 00:14:08
    training is less intense it's not going
  • 00:14:10
    to cause a lot of damage to the body or
  • 00:14:12
    central nervous system fatigue on the
  • 00:14:14
    other hand if it's the first couple
  • 00:14:16
    times that they've trained they're going
  • 00:14:17
    to be sore for a long time and so you
  • 00:14:19
    can give them less frequent training
  • 00:14:20
    plus they will adapt to almost anything
  • 00:14:22
    and so you can give them less frequent
  • 00:14:24
    training take the more minimal dose
  • 00:14:26
    effect if they're okay with that and to
  • 00:14:28
    control grasp with that if you have a
  • 00:14:30
    very Advanced athlete and let's say
  • 00:14:32
    there you know Jacob you mentioned John
  • 00:14:34
    hack um at the beginning let's say John
  • 00:14:36
    is deadlifting 900 lb and recently I
  • 00:14:39
    think he hit like 925 or something which
  • 00:14:40
    is amazing to see and he's looking
  • 00:14:43
    absolutely just yaked out of his mind
  • 00:14:45
    anyways you take an individual who's
  • 00:14:47
    deadlifting that much and gosh that's
  • 00:14:50
    going to take them out of heavy
  • 00:14:51
    deadlifting for quite a while for a
  • 00:14:52
    couple weeks um at the very least okay
  • 00:14:55
    so sometimes those Advanced individuals
  • 00:14:57
    are capable of just so such high
  • 00:15:00
    intensity such high absolute loads that
  • 00:15:02
    they need to rest for much longer okay
  • 00:15:05
    so the principle sort of goes both way
  • 00:15:07
    on that both ways on that and then of
  • 00:15:09
    course recovery is so important often
  • 00:15:12
    times people say you're not overtrained
  • 00:15:14
    you're just under recovered meaning that
  • 00:15:16
    your recovery modalities your sleep your
  • 00:15:19
    diet your low stress lifestyle your soft
  • 00:15:21
    tissue work seeing qualified pts to get
  • 00:15:25
    you know worked on is is not sufficient
  • 00:15:28
    to support the train okay and so maybe
  • 00:15:29
    it's not that you're overtraining maybe
  • 00:15:31
    you're just under recovered so if you
  • 00:15:33
    have a client who is you know they're
  • 00:15:35
    not sleeping a lot they have a high
  • 00:15:36
    stress job they might not be able to
  • 00:15:37
    train as frequently okay optimal
  • 00:15:39
    training frequency for your goals these
  • 00:15:42
    are just rough guidelines strength
  • 00:15:44
    training two to three times a week same
  • 00:15:46
    thing with hypertrophy and then for
  • 00:15:48
    endurance three to five times a week
  • 00:15:50
    just because we're not hitting those
  • 00:15:52
    super high absolute loads now again I
  • 00:15:54
    said these are rough guidelines because
  • 00:15:56
    it totally depends on how much volume
  • 00:15:58
    you're prescribing for each of these
  • 00:16:01
    sessions so this can change all right
  • 00:16:03
    these are just guidelines we talked
  • 00:16:04
    about bner versus Advanced athletes this
  • 00:16:07
    is this is more towards the cscs
  • 00:16:09
    guidelines of beginners training two to
  • 00:16:11
    three times a week Advanced athlet
  • 00:16:13
    Athletes Training four to six times a
  • 00:16:14
    week again though like I said if we're
  • 00:16:16
    thinking like muscle group or movement
  • 00:16:18
    frequency I'm not going to have an
  • 00:16:20
    advanced powerlifter or a really strong
  • 00:16:22
    rugby athlete or an American football
  • 00:16:24
    offensive lineman squatting four times a
  • 00:16:27
    week or six times a week a week you know
  • 00:16:29
    just because they're more advanced than
  • 00:16:31
    that they're going to do it less than
  • 00:16:32
    the beginner okay and my beginners is
  • 00:16:34
    like for instance my my son has gotten
  • 00:16:36
    hit to weight training with me which is
  • 00:16:38
    awesome and so cute he's 10 so we wake
  • 00:16:40
    up every day and we train and that kid
  • 00:16:42
    could he could squat he could max out on
  • 00:16:44
    his squat like every day and he'd be
  • 00:16:46
    totally fine now obviously we don't do
  • 00:16:48
    that because you know I'm teaching him
  • 00:16:49
    life lessons and I'm teaching them
  • 00:16:51
    resistance training um technique and
  • 00:16:53
    lessons at the same time so we don't do
  • 00:16:55
    that but he could totally do that and be
  • 00:16:56
    fine right he's young he's a kid adapts
  • 00:16:59
    really fast and he's a total beginner so
  • 00:17:01
    it's it's a low absolute load oh split
  • 00:17:03
    routines versus full body workouts this
  • 00:17:06
    goes to what I was saying earlier about
  • 00:17:08
    it depending on the nature of the
  • 00:17:10
    workout what movements are you training
  • 00:17:12
    so you can train people seven days a
  • 00:17:14
    week for the rest of their life as long
  • 00:17:15
    as they have the right split and they're
  • 00:17:17
    resting certain muscle groups and
  • 00:17:19
    training the other muscle groups now I
  • 00:17:21
    don't know that that's necessarily a
  • 00:17:23
    good idea but depending on your split
  • 00:17:25
    you can get away with more training days
  • 00:17:27
    but you've split it in into different
  • 00:17:29
    parts so let's just say a simple example
  • 00:17:31
    upper versus Lower Split well now even
  • 00:17:34
    if I train Monday Tuesday and Thursday
  • 00:17:37
    Friday but I'm doing Upp or lower Upp or
  • 00:17:39
    lower I'm really only getting a
  • 00:17:41
    frequency of two instead of four times a
  • 00:17:43
    week it's four training days but two
  • 00:17:45
    times per body segment if that makes
  • 00:17:48
    sense oh and there's balloons on my
  • 00:17:51
    camera that was weird it must have been
  • 00:17:53
    something with my movements the zoom's
  • 00:17:55
    getting too advanced for me and so you
  • 00:17:57
    know a more complex split could you know
  • 00:18:00
    you could break it up even more okay
  • 00:18:02
    next we'll talk about training load and
  • 00:18:07
    repetitions so make sure that you still
  • 00:18:09
    have that that Avatar in your head of
  • 00:18:11
    the athlete that you would be training
  • 00:18:12
    we've done the needs analysis we have
  • 00:18:14
    their training frequency which is
  • 00:18:16
    oftentimes I should say just it it's
  • 00:18:18
    oftentimes sort of set in stone like
  • 00:18:19
    maybe they're in their in their
  • 00:18:21
    Collegiate team and they just they're in
  • 00:18:22
    the weight room you know Mondays
  • 00:18:24
    Wednesdays Fridays and that's all there
  • 00:18:25
    is to it and so then you program
  • 00:18:27
    everything based around those 3 days a
  • 00:18:29
    week of training or what have you but
  • 00:18:31
    now that we have those training load and
  • 00:18:33
    repetitions and I do this before
  • 00:18:35
    exercise selection and Order and you
  • 00:18:37
    might see some different a different
  • 00:18:38
    order of events for creating a program
  • 00:18:40
    out there but I do this because it's
  • 00:18:42
    more conceptual and tied to
  • 00:18:45
    periodization and even though I'm going
  • 00:18:46
    to talk about periodization last
  • 00:18:48
    periodization probably comes first but
  • 00:18:50
    I'm talking about it last so you have
  • 00:18:52
    all these things in your head when we
  • 00:18:53
    talk about periodization okay but this
  • 00:18:56
    comes next because it depends on the
  • 00:18:59
    phase and it depends on where the
  • 00:19:00
    athletes trying to go and their goals
  • 00:19:03
    okay and before I even get to exercises
  • 00:19:05
    I do this first all right so first we
  • 00:19:07
    need to understand what is training load
  • 00:19:09
    when I say training load this can be
  • 00:19:11
    defined as the total amount of work
  • 00:19:13
    performed or the total stress placed on
  • 00:19:15
    an athlete during the training sessions
  • 00:19:17
    in the weight room is Quantified using
  • 00:19:20
    sets times reps times weight or just
  • 00:19:24
    intensity sometimes you can do intensity
  • 00:19:27
    instead of the weight so sets times reps
  • 00:19:29
    times intensity or RP rating of
  • 00:19:31
    perceived exertion usually on a scale of
  • 00:19:33
    0 to 10 okay and that rpe scale is not a
  • 00:19:37
    linear scale it it goes up to a five or
  • 00:19:42
    six being like moderately hard not being
  • 00:19:45
    average okay you'll see and you'll see
  • 00:19:47
    it used in different ways but really in
  • 00:19:49
    the literature five or six is is
  • 00:19:51
    moderate to moderately hard and then it
  • 00:19:53
    goes in smaller increments from 7 to 10
  • 00:19:57
    okay so there's finer degradation
  • 00:19:59
    at the more intense levels so first I
  • 00:20:02
    say first not necess you're not going to
  • 00:20:04
    necessarily go test everyone's 1 RM but
  • 00:20:06
    you should determine at least a rough
  • 00:20:09
    estimate okay because it's essential for
  • 00:20:11
    calculating and setting training
  • 00:20:12
    intensities a good
  • 00:20:14
    practitioner can watch somebody warm up
  • 00:20:17
    and pretty much tell how much they're
  • 00:20:19
    going to be able to do that said if
  • 00:20:22
    you're going to be working with this
  • 00:20:23
    athlete for a long period of time and if
  • 00:20:25
    they're under your care you're
  • 00:20:26
    definitely going to need to do some sort
  • 00:20:27
    of either estimate
  • 00:20:29
    or actual one R attempt or or maybe a
  • 00:20:32
    3rm or something like that you can also
  • 00:20:34
    use vbt to estimate it as well or rpe
  • 00:20:38
    let's say they get good at using RP you
  • 00:20:41
    can have them do a set of five or a set
  • 00:20:43
    of three or a set of one and they'll
  • 00:20:45
    give you the RP and you can plug that
  • 00:20:47
    into a calculator to get the actual 1 RM
  • 00:20:49
    or the the estimated 1 RM now there's I
  • 00:20:52
    mentioned previously this relationship
  • 00:20:54
    between volume and intensity it's an
  • 00:20:57
    inverse relationship so as volume as the
  • 00:20:59
    volume of work increases the intensity
  • 00:21:02
    or 1 RM typically decreases within a
  • 00:21:05
    session within a week within a mesocycle
  • 00:21:08
    so if you're going to give someone a ton
  • 00:21:09
    of volume for that day they probably
  • 00:21:11
    can't do very high intensities at that
  • 00:21:12
    volume if you're going to do give them a
  • 00:21:15
    ton of volume over that mesocycle like
  • 00:21:18
    lots of sets it's not they're not going
  • 00:21:20
    to be able to do it at super super high
  • 00:21:22
    intensities okay conversely if you're
  • 00:21:24
    training at really really high
  • 00:21:26
    intensities they're just not going to be
  • 00:21:27
    able to sustain
  • 00:21:29
    high enough volumes so when you're
  • 00:21:31
    prescribing load it's always a balancing
  • 00:21:33
    act okay now repetition ranges are
  • 00:21:37
    important and I want to I want to
  • 00:21:38
    explain this to you guys for those of
  • 00:21:40
    you who are maybe let's say uninitiated
  • 00:21:42
    in the weight room oftentimes I find
  • 00:21:45
    that students think of rep ranges as
  • 00:21:47
    like as sort of this this number that
  • 00:21:49
    you just stop at like if I'm doing sets
  • 00:21:52
    of five for that day versus sets of 10
  • 00:21:54
    the weight doesn't really change I just
  • 00:21:57
    stop at five instead of stopping at 10
  • 00:21:59
    you know they might adjust the load a
  • 00:22:00
    little bit but they typically will just
  • 00:22:02
    arbitrarily stop at those numbers but
  • 00:22:04
    really what we mean when we're looking
  • 00:22:05
    at a repetition range typically is that
  • 00:22:07
    it's a repetition maximum and so when
  • 00:22:09
    you see these ranges where it says
  • 00:22:11
    strength is train from one to six reps
  • 00:22:13
    that doesn't mean with a load that you
  • 00:22:16
    could do for more than that it means a
  • 00:22:17
    load that you could do for only that
  • 00:22:19
    number of reps with a little bit of
  • 00:22:22
    degree of variation in there so let's
  • 00:22:24
    say that I let's say that the most I can
  • 00:22:27
    do for six reps at the high end of that
  • 00:22:30
    strength or the low end of that
  • 00:22:32
    hypertrophy range is 100 lb okay and I
  • 00:22:37
    do six reps with 100 pounds the seventh
  • 00:22:40
    rep I would fail if I tried it okay
  • 00:22:42
    that's that's a six and if I train at
  • 00:22:44
    that range I'm getting a blend of
  • 00:22:46
    strength and hypertrophy strength and
  • 00:22:48
    hypertrophy if I train at that weight
  • 00:22:51
    for a set of five I'm stopping
  • 00:22:53
    arbitrarily one short we call that one
  • 00:22:56
    repetition in reserve it's still going
  • 00:22:57
    to be a pretty High RP it's going to be
  • 00:22:59
    about a 9 RP okay so I'm still training
  • 00:23:02
    with pretty good intensity in the range
  • 00:23:04
    of strength so I'm still getting a
  • 00:23:06
    strength stimulus and I'm probably
  • 00:23:07
    actually now training a little bit
  • 00:23:09
    better because now that I'm keeping one
  • 00:23:11
    rep in in the tank my fatigue is not
  • 00:23:15
    nearly as high as if I maxed it out and
  • 00:23:17
    did the full six reps so now I can maybe
  • 00:23:20
    sustain even more volume in that
  • 00:23:22
    strength Zone and then get a better
  • 00:23:24
    training stimulus let's say though that
  • 00:23:26
    instead of training at my 6rm I drop it
  • 00:23:28
    down to 80 lb and let's say that's my 10
  • 00:23:31
    RM and I arbitrarily stop at 5 this time
  • 00:23:35
    as well now that's a much much lower
  • 00:23:38
    percent of my Max the rpe is going to be
  • 00:23:40
    much lower maybe a 5 5.5 rpe out of 10
  • 00:23:44
    the intensity is much lower if I have
  • 00:23:47
    five reps in reserve I'm training pretty
  • 00:23:49
    far away from failure maybe even too far
  • 00:23:51
    to get a lot of gains from that
  • 00:23:54
    definitely too far away to get any
  • 00:23:56
    strength gains Okay so even though I'm
  • 00:23:58
    still training sets five the intensity
  • 00:24:00
    is too low to really stimulate strength
  • 00:24:03
    adaptations now of course I could train
  • 00:24:06
    as fast as possible and accelerate
  • 00:24:08
    really fast and now I'm doing more
  • 00:24:10
    velocity Based training and and that
  • 00:24:12
    will give me power gains okay so
  • 00:24:15
    hopefully hopefully that makes sense
  • 00:24:16
    with these repetition ranges okay so we
  • 00:24:18
    talked about load repetitions onto
  • 00:24:21
    volume so components of volume first is
  • 00:24:24
    the repetitions the number of reps per
  • 00:24:26
    set and then the number of sets
  • 00:24:29
    and then the number of and then the
  • 00:24:30
    amount of weight lifted that's the
  • 00:24:32
    overall load as I've described in that
  • 00:24:35
    previous slide we want to think about
  • 00:24:37
    volume as a driver of a stimulus as as a
  • 00:24:41
    driver of the magnitude of the stimulus
  • 00:24:43
    so if I did one set of one one you know
  • 00:24:48
    one one RM that's going to give me a
  • 00:24:50
    certain magnitude of adaptation to
  • 00:24:54
    strength if I did 10 sets 10 times the
  • 00:24:57
    volume that that's going to give me a
  • 00:24:59
    lot more adaptation but it is what
  • 00:25:02
    what's that phrase where it's like oh
  • 00:25:04
    diminishing returns the law of dim
  • 00:25:06
    diminishing returns each consecutive set
  • 00:25:09
    gives you more adaptation but slightly
  • 00:25:12
    less than the set previous okay that's
  • 00:25:15
    that's how we want to think about it
  • 00:25:16
    both hypertrophy and strength gains are
  • 00:25:18
    volume dependent but hypertrophy gains
  • 00:25:21
    getting bigger muscles that's more
  • 00:25:23
    driven by volume okay so we really want
  • 00:25:26
    to focus on things like time under
  • 00:25:28
    tension the number of hard sets sets
  • 00:25:31
    with some like 6 to 20 repetitions Etc
  • 00:25:35
    with strength that's more of like a
  • 00:25:37
    moderate volume training Paradigm with
  • 00:25:39
    power it's even less because with power
  • 00:25:42
    if you train too much you actually start
  • 00:25:44
    Mal adapting and get less powerful so so
  • 00:25:47
    it kind of goes down the slope
  • 00:25:50
    hypertrophy strength power as far as far
  • 00:25:53
    as volume goes and that's you know very
  • 00:25:56
    a very general generalized statement
  • 00:25:58
    hypertrophy strength power all right and
  • 00:26:00
    here are some of the guidelines so for
  • 00:26:02
    strength we're thinking three to six
  • 00:26:04
    sets per exercise per session
  • 00:26:07
    hypertrophy you could do more and
  • 00:26:09
    endurance we're doing higher reps maybe
  • 00:26:13
    not necessarily a larger number of sets
  • 00:26:16
    Okay and remember these are just these
  • 00:26:18
    are just basic guidelines so I'm not
  • 00:26:20
    necessarily going to do 12 sets per
  • 00:26:22
    exercise all the time with hypertrophy
  • 00:26:24
    that's maybe just the upper limit volume
  • 00:26:27
    adjustments for athletes typically
  • 00:26:28
    beginners don't need very much volume
  • 00:26:31
    and they'll grow they'll get stronger
  • 00:26:32
    off off of a small dose as you get more
  • 00:26:35
    advanced you need a larger and larger
  • 00:26:37
    dose typically okay next exercise
  • 00:26:40
    selection so this is typically the first
  • 00:26:42
    thing that people think about when they
  • 00:26:43
    think about building a resistance
  • 00:26:45
    training program instead of all the
  • 00:26:47
    other things but that's putting the cart
  • 00:26:49
    before the horse so once you have
  • 00:26:50
    everything else in line then you go to
  • 00:26:53
    exercise selection so this is CH
  • 00:26:56
    choosing movements that effectively
  • 00:26:57
    Target Target specific muscle groups and
  • 00:27:00
    performance goals and they should align
  • 00:27:02
    with all of that needs analysis that you
  • 00:27:04
    did about the athlete and the sport and
  • 00:27:07
    their goals okay so different types of
  • 00:27:09
    exercise first and you guys probably
  • 00:27:12
    know this already but we have compound
  • 00:27:14
    movements isolation movements and then
  • 00:27:16
    what we might call functional functional
  • 00:27:18
    exercises that term has really been
  • 00:27:19
    bastardized lately but maybe think of
  • 00:27:22
    that as as exercises that mimic real
  • 00:27:24
    life sport or Sports specific movements
  • 00:27:26
    compound movements just means that they
  • 00:27:28
    use more than one joint isolation means
  • 00:27:30
    that it isolates a single joint okay and
  • 00:27:33
    then again functional exercises they're
  • 00:27:35
    a bit more complex typically and they
  • 00:27:37
    mimic some sort of real life movement
  • 00:27:40
    when we're thinking about which
  • 00:27:41
    exercises to select we want to think
  • 00:27:43
    about specificity safety and efficiency
  • 00:27:45
    first do the exercises align with things
  • 00:27:49
    like the biomechanical principles of the
  • 00:27:51
    sport the um the force characteristics
  • 00:27:54
    like the the force and velocity
  • 00:27:56
    characteristics of the sport with the
  • 00:27:58
    needs of the athlete okay next we want
  • 00:28:01
    to look at safety I mean really safety
  • 00:28:03
    should be first but let's be honest we
  • 00:28:05
    don't think of Safety First consider is
  • 00:28:08
    this movement safe for the athlete so if
  • 00:28:10
    I'm working with like an an injured
  • 00:28:12
    youth athlete I'm probably not going to
  • 00:28:13
    give them snatches if I'm working with
  • 00:28:16
    an overhead athlete I'm going to
  • 00:28:18
    definitely ask them a lot about their
  • 00:28:20
    shoulders before we do any type of you
  • 00:28:23
    know behind the neck push press so we're
  • 00:28:25
    thinking safety factors next efficiency
  • 00:28:28
    how much setup does this exercise
  • 00:28:29
    actually take to do do you need to pull
  • 00:28:32
    out 10 different pieces of equipment and
  • 00:28:34
    how long does it take to actually get a
  • 00:28:35
    training effect versus something that I
  • 00:28:37
    could just walk over there and get set
  • 00:28:39
    up right away progression and variation
  • 00:28:41
    so with our exercises we want to
  • 00:28:44
    progress from less complex to more
  • 00:28:47
    complex over the life not the lifespan
  • 00:28:50
    well yeah over the lifespan but really
  • 00:28:51
    over the training span of the athlete
  • 00:28:53
    that you have them let's say you have
  • 00:28:54
    them for a year which is generous these
  • 00:28:57
    days most people don't stay with a coach
  • 00:28:58
    for that long let's say you have them
  • 00:29:00
    for a year though and they're really
  • 00:29:02
    green how are you going to get them from
  • 00:29:04
    not touching a barbell ever to doing
  • 00:29:07
    let's say hang power cleans with enough
  • 00:29:09
    load to generate a good stimulus and how
  • 00:29:12
    are you going to do that effectively
  • 00:29:14
    while still giving them a good training
  • 00:29:15
    stimulus along the way okay so that's as
  • 00:29:18
    you progress them you need to be
  • 00:29:19
    thinking about layering effective
  • 00:29:22
    exercises so that one potentiates the
  • 00:29:24
    next for instance in that situation I
  • 00:29:27
    would probably get the athlete doing
  • 00:29:29
    front squats from day one I probably
  • 00:29:32
    also get them doing some sort of mid
  • 00:29:33
    thigh pole just the pole on day one as
  • 00:29:36
    well so that eventually they're going to
  • 00:29:38
    be really comfortable exploding from the
  • 00:29:40
    mid thigh position and catching it in
  • 00:29:43
    the front rack position okay so I'm
  • 00:29:45
    thinking about how do I layer these
  • 00:29:46
    exercises with the end goal in mind and
  • 00:29:49
    then we want to incorporate Sports
  • 00:29:50
    specific movements but obviously we want
  • 00:29:52
    to balance that with General
  • 00:29:55
    preparedness okay so we know that to be
  • 00:29:57
    Sports specific you don't have to like
  • 00:29:59
    do the sport with weights on like like
  • 00:30:02
    for soccer athlete you're not just going
  • 00:30:03
    to strap a weighted vest and say go play
  • 00:30:05
    soccer and that's your resistance
  • 00:30:07
    training you're not going to go kick a
  • 00:30:08
    weighted soccer ball but you do want to
  • 00:30:10
    think about okay what muscles need to be
  • 00:30:13
    powerful what muscles need to be
  • 00:30:15
    posturally strong uh what muscles are
  • 00:30:18
    are frequently injured and how can we
  • 00:30:20
    create robust you know tissue tolerance
  • 00:30:22
    in in those structures and that would be
  • 00:30:25
    Sports specific to soccer exercise order
  • 00:30:28
    is next so you've chosen your exercises
  • 00:30:30
    you you've looked at compound movements
  • 00:30:31
    you've chosen some isolation movements
  • 00:30:33
    they're sport specific a good blend of
  • 00:30:36
    sport specific and general preparedness
  • 00:30:38
    now how do we actually order them in a
  • 00:30:40
    training session well there's a few
  • 00:30:42
    General guidelines first we want to go
  • 00:30:44
    compound before isolation uh this is
  • 00:30:46
    because compound movements are typically
  • 00:30:49
    more valuable they generate more
  • 00:30:51
    strength more coordination they take
  • 00:30:53
    more central nervous system coordination
  • 00:30:55
    and they also cause more fatigue and so
  • 00:30:58
    oh and they're typically they typically
  • 00:31:00
    have more risk associated with them so
  • 00:31:02
    you do them first so that you're fresh
  • 00:31:03
    and then you finish up with the
  • 00:31:05
    isolation movements we also want to
  • 00:31:07
    think high intensity before low
  • 00:31:08
    intensity so if you have let's say power
  • 00:31:11
    snatches from the knee very high
  • 00:31:14
    intensity exercise high power outputs
  • 00:31:16
    and let's say you have I don't know
  • 00:31:18
    lateral raises well you're going to do
  • 00:31:20
    the lateral raises last because not only
  • 00:31:23
    do the snatches need a really stable
  • 00:31:25
    shoulder joint but the the intensity is
  • 00:31:28
    so much higher you want to be fresh
  • 00:31:29
    while you're doing them to get the most
  • 00:31:30
    out of that power movement and then even
  • 00:31:33
    if you're tired you can bang out the
  • 00:31:34
    lateral raises no matter what state
  • 00:31:36
    you're in okay so high before low
  • 00:31:39
    intensity and then also influence on
  • 00:31:40
    training Effectiveness we want to think
  • 00:31:43
    about things that enhance muscle
  • 00:31:45
    activation strength gains hypertrophic
  • 00:31:47
    responses so maybe if the goal is
  • 00:31:49
    hypertrophy maybe you actually do want
  • 00:31:51
    to pre-exhaust a muscle in an isolation
  • 00:31:54
    movement before going to a compound
  • 00:31:57
    movement okay that's an advanced
  • 00:31:59
    hypertrophy technique maybe you want to
  • 00:32:01
    do something like a back squat before
  • 00:32:03
    doing a vertical jump if your goal is
  • 00:32:05
    power training that's an advanced power
  • 00:32:09
    programming thing called post potenti
  • 00:32:11
    post activation potentiation Pap so
  • 00:32:14
    depending on your goal if your goal is
  • 00:32:15
    strength and power typically we begin
  • 00:32:16
    with the heavy compound lifts in
  • 00:32:18
    hypertrophy you typically also begin
  • 00:32:21
    with heavy compound lifts followed by
  • 00:32:22
    isolation but you can sometimes reverse
  • 00:32:24
    that like I said in pre-exhaustion for
  • 00:32:26
    endurance it's it's not as important
  • 00:32:29
    because you're not using quite as heavy
  • 00:32:30
    loads when training for muscular
  • 00:32:32
    endurance but I would say still the
  • 00:32:35
    definitely the intensity first followed
  • 00:32:38
    by low intensity would apply even in
  • 00:32:40
    endurance but you know it if with with
  • 00:32:43
    endurance strength endurance in the
  • 00:32:44
    weight room we're thinking things like
  • 00:32:46
    circuit training where everything is
  • 00:32:48
    Blended together so so the order is not
  • 00:32:51
    quite as important okay rest periods so
  • 00:32:55
    rest rest periods absolutely will
  • 00:32:57
    influence
  • 00:32:58
    the adaptations whether they are
  • 00:33:00
    strength power hypertrophy or endurance
  • 00:33:02
    adaptations shorter rest leads to more
  • 00:33:05
    metabolic stress but potentially lower
  • 00:33:08
    performance in the subsequent lifts
  • 00:33:10
    these are the guidelines in general for
  • 00:33:13
    these different training goals for
  • 00:33:16
    resting when you're in the weight room
  • 00:33:18
    for strength and power we want up to
  • 00:33:20
    five minutes maybe even more between our
  • 00:33:22
    sets so that we get that full
  • 00:33:24
    resynthesis of phosphate for
  • 00:33:26
    hypertrophy you can go as low as 30
  • 00:33:28
    seconds but typically we want at least
  • 00:33:31
    90 seconds and that's mostly for safety
  • 00:33:34
    if we're doing heavy compound movements
  • 00:33:36
    as we should be unless you're in like a
  • 00:33:38
    circuit training environment or if
  • 00:33:39
    you're doing isolation compound or sorry
  • 00:33:42
    isolation single joint movements then
  • 00:33:44
    resting less than a minute and a half is
  • 00:33:46
    is probably okay and then for endurance
  • 00:33:49
    you know less than 30 seconds definitely
  • 00:33:51
    increases the endurance effect but it
  • 00:33:53
    might lead to decreased performance in
  • 00:33:55
    the next set as I said compound lifts
  • 00:33:57
    require more rest and the rest needs are
  • 00:33:59
    going to vary based on the individuals
  • 00:34:01
    if you have a little tiny person that
  • 00:34:02
    you're training right let's say a small
  • 00:34:04
    female in my experience they're like oh
  • 00:34:06
    I'm ready to go you know set of 10
  • 00:34:07
    deadlifts okay I feel great let's do
  • 00:34:09
    that again a really large individual
  • 00:34:12
    typically requires more rest not just
  • 00:34:14
    and and don't think of it as just
  • 00:34:16
    because they're out of shape it's just
  • 00:34:18
    because that individual has so much more
  • 00:34:20
    body mass to move whether it's by height
  • 00:34:23
    or muscle mass Etc and they're typically
  • 00:34:25
    moving more muscle mass and so
  • 00:34:27
    metabolically it's a lot more difficult
  • 00:34:29
    for that individual and so they may need
  • 00:34:30
    more rest obviously their Fitness
  • 00:34:32
    characteristics also come into play if
  • 00:34:34
    you're working with like a soccer
  • 00:34:35
    athlete versus a shot putter we're going
  • 00:34:37
    to have some different metabolic
  • 00:34:39
    profiles there so the rest will vary for
  • 00:34:41
    those individuals as well typically I
  • 00:34:43
    don't time rest periods I let people
  • 00:34:46
    Auto regulate them so I just say hey
  • 00:34:48
    when you're ready to go again we're
  • 00:34:49
    going to go unless I'm trying to get
  • 00:34:52
    some sort of a metabolic stimulus and I
  • 00:34:54
    need to keep rests short or if we're
  • 00:34:56
    under a time crunch all right right now
  • 00:34:58
    last section I promise you but we need
  • 00:35:00
    to tie this all together with
  • 00:35:02
    periodization what is periodization uh
  • 00:35:05
    periodization is a is a number of things
  • 00:35:07
    but really it's a concept that describes
  • 00:35:10
    the training process as being
  • 00:35:12
    cyclical founded on building specific
  • 00:35:15
    Fitness characteristics in sequence in a
  • 00:35:18
    nonlinear way such that you Peak at the
  • 00:35:21
    right time and avoid overtraining okay
  • 00:35:25
    it's a way of roadmapping
  • 00:35:28
    not the specific route that you'll take
  • 00:35:31
    okay but in general seeing the end
  • 00:35:34
    destination and knowing hey there's a
  • 00:35:35
    few different ways I can get there but
  • 00:35:37
    I'm going to plan it out sequentially
  • 00:35:39
    and logically so that I get there in the
  • 00:35:41
    quickest or maybe the safest way
  • 00:35:44
    possible okay okay so when we're
  • 00:35:46
    thinking about
  • 00:35:48
    periodization we're thinking about
  • 00:35:50
    Progressive overload specificity and
  • 00:35:52
    variation among other things we're
  • 00:35:55
    thinking how are we injecting a new
  • 00:35:58
    stimulus rather a larger magnitude of
  • 00:36:00
    stimulus with Progressive overload with
  • 00:36:02
    specificity we're thinking what are the
  • 00:36:04
    specific traits I need to train by the
  • 00:36:07
    end or need to have trained and what do
  • 00:36:09
    I need to develop sequentially in order
  • 00:36:11
    to get there okay like if I want to be a
  • 00:36:14
    really powerful athlete well I know that
  • 00:36:17
    power is force times velocity okay so am
  • 00:36:20
    I training force and velocity and I know
  • 00:36:24
    that if power is force times velocity
  • 00:36:26
    that's like moving a weight quickly
  • 00:36:28
    including my own body weight so if I can
  • 00:36:30
    make that weight a lighter percentage of
  • 00:36:33
    my Max then that means I need to get
  • 00:36:35
    stronger and if I get stronger it'll be
  • 00:36:37
    a lighter percentage of my Max okay well
  • 00:36:39
    to get stronger I know that the only
  • 00:36:42
    tissue in the human body that produces
  • 00:36:44
    force is muscle tissue so to get
  • 00:36:47
    stronger one way to do that one way to
  • 00:36:50
    increase my capacity for strength is to
  • 00:36:52
    make the muscle bigger okay so so now
  • 00:36:55
    we're we're seeing how we can logically
  • 00:36:57
    sequence these training adaptations such
  • 00:37:01
    that they support the end goal of power
  • 00:37:03
    so first I make the muscle bigger I
  • 00:37:05
    teach the muscle how to be stronger okay
  • 00:37:08
    that bigger muscle is now stronger and
  • 00:37:10
    then with that new Strength I move
  • 00:37:13
    lighter weights more quickly and
  • 00:37:15
    therefore now I'm more powerful okay now
  • 00:37:18
    there's different types of periodization
  • 00:37:19
    you're going to hear all kinds of
  • 00:37:20
    different names linear periodization
  • 00:37:22
    typically means a gradual increase in
  • 00:37:25
    intensity with a corresponding decrease
  • 00:37:28
    in volume over time okay you've probably
  • 00:37:30
    seen that graph I don't like the term
  • 00:37:34
    because I've been influenced by you know
  • 00:37:36
    certain Sports scientists who also don't
  • 00:37:38
    like the term but basically linearity is
  • 00:37:41
    not a component of periodization
  • 00:37:43
    periodization is cyclical and it is on
  • 00:37:47
    purpose nonlinear okay so it's kind of a
  • 00:37:50
    contradiction in terms nonlinear or
  • 00:37:53
    undulating periodization same thing this
  • 00:37:56
    this is a term term that sometimes gets
  • 00:37:59
    you know a little bit misused I would
  • 00:38:00
    rather say
  • 00:38:01
    undulating programming typically because
  • 00:38:04
    all periodization should be undulating
  • 00:38:06
    to some extent but over a longer time
  • 00:38:09
    Horizon okay but typically this refers
  • 00:38:11
    to frequent changes in intensity and
  • 00:38:13
    volume to stimulate adaptation while
  • 00:38:15
    managing fatigue typically when you hear
  • 00:38:17
    undulating
  • 00:38:18
    periodization that means within a
  • 00:38:21
    microcycle or within a week you're
  • 00:38:23
    changing like you're doing fives one day
  • 00:38:25
    threes the next day 10 the next day okay
  • 00:38:27
    I would rather call that ulating
  • 00:38:29
    programming but it's important for you
  • 00:38:31
    to know that you'll hear both terms and
  • 00:38:33
    then block periodization is is another
  • 00:38:37
    form of periodization and this is
  • 00:38:39
    dividing training into blocks with a
  • 00:38:41
    specific Focus such as hypertrophy
  • 00:38:43
    strength and power and only training for
  • 00:38:46
    that characteristic during that block
  • 00:38:48
    now again most most periodization is in
  • 00:38:53
    some way all three of these in general
  • 00:38:57
    we want to have higher volumes to lower
  • 00:38:59
    volumes lower intensity to higher
  • 00:39:01
    intensity lower skill to higher skill
  • 00:39:04
    okay so that we can Peak at a certain
  • 00:39:06
    time whether that's on a certain day or
  • 00:39:08
    for a competitive season in general
  • 00:39:10
    we're going to have some undulation in
  • 00:39:13
    the amount of volume and intensity we're
  • 00:39:14
    going to have D Lo weeks okay we're not
  • 00:39:16
    going to always train the exact same way
  • 00:39:19
    we need a little bit of variation and in
  • 00:39:22
    some way all periodization is going to
  • 00:39:24
    have specific periods of emphasis and
  • 00:39:27
    emphasis where you emphasize one
  • 00:39:29
    training quality and deemphasize but
  • 00:39:32
    still maintain the other training
  • 00:39:33
    qualities okay typically we divide the
  • 00:39:36
    phases into roughly the Preparatory
  • 00:39:39
    phase the competitive phase and then the
  • 00:39:42
    transition phase which is where we
  • 00:39:44
    recover okay you could also think of
  • 00:39:46
    this as the uh General preparation phase
  • 00:39:49
    the specific preparation phase where you
  • 00:39:51
    go from General training to more Sports
  • 00:39:53
    specific and then into the competitive
  • 00:39:56
    phase okay some people also call this
  • 00:39:58
    accumulation where you're accumulating
  • 00:40:00
    volume transmutation where you take all
  • 00:40:03
    that training you've done and you turn
  • 00:40:05
    it into something Sports specific
  • 00:40:07
    transmute it and then realization where
  • 00:40:09
    you realize the gains of the training
  • 00:40:11
    process and why do we period periodize
  • 00:40:14
    Well it it enhances the performance by
  • 00:40:17
    systematically targeting different
  • 00:40:19
    Fitness components as I've said and it
  • 00:40:21
    reduces the risk of overtraining because
  • 00:40:23
    now we're managing all of the training
  • 00:40:25
    variables in a scientific evidence-based
  • 00:40:28
    and logical way okay instead of just
  • 00:40:31
    sort of willy-nilly doing what we want
  • 00:40:33
    or instead of rigidly following a
  • 00:40:35
    training program no matter how the
  • 00:40:37
    athlete is feeling as we implement
  • 00:40:39
    periodization we want to start with
  • 00:40:40
    long-term goals so we're looking towards
  • 00:40:42
    the end of the year this is why you have
  • 00:40:44
    to start with the end in mind in order
  • 00:40:46
    to produce the rest of the training
  • 00:40:48
    process and you need to adjust it based
  • 00:40:51
    on athlete feedback so some people
  • 00:40:53
    mistakenly think that periodization is
  • 00:40:55
    like everything is prescribed to the tea
  • 00:40:57
    and you don't deviate from it when in
  • 00:40:59
    fact it's a dynamic plan that if you
  • 00:41:02
    have a good athlete monitoring program
  • 00:41:04
    which is another overly long lecture in
  • 00:41:07
    and of itself and you're monitoring the
  • 00:41:09
    athletes sufficiently and you know for a
  • 00:41:11
    lot of people that's just checking in
  • 00:41:13
    with the athletes hey how did you feel
  • 00:41:14
    this week how did you feel after
  • 00:41:16
    training if you're monitoring the
  • 00:41:17
    athletes effectively then you're making
  • 00:41:20
    small adjustments it's like on the road
  • 00:41:22
    map if you hit a roadblock you're not
  • 00:41:24
    just going to plow through it you know
  • 00:41:25
    you're going to take the alternate route
  • 00:41:27
    to get to where you need to go you might
  • 00:41:29
    just you you might just be taking a
  • 00:41:31
    circuitous route yeah so that is the end
  • 00:41:35
    you guys that's the end of the slides
  • 00:41:36
    that I put together for you maybe a few
  • 00:41:38
    too many slides but thank you for
  • 00:41:41
    Patiently sitting through my monologues
  • 00:41:44
    and I know we're over time but if I do
  • 00:41:47
    have a couple minutes if we want to do
  • 00:41:49
    some questions and then Jacob I'm I'm
  • 00:41:51
    more than happy to do a followup you
  • 00:41:53
    know via email if you guys have specific
  • 00:41:55
    questions or if you want to type out
  • 00:41:57
    more detailed questions and send them to
  • 00:41:59
    me like totally good with that as
  • 00:42:02
    well yeah that's a really good question
  • 00:42:04
    and it's a question that tells that
  • 00:42:06
    tells me you've worked with people
  • 00:42:08
    before because it's not something you
  • 00:42:09
    think about typically if you haven't
  • 00:42:11
    worked with people before or coach them
  • 00:42:13
    and it's one of the first things that
  • 00:42:14
    you'll observe especially if you've
  • 00:42:16
    weight trained before and you know what
  • 00:42:18
    it is like to go to failure and how far
  • 00:42:21
    you are from failure proximity to
  • 00:42:23
    failure and so I do two things the first
  • 00:42:25
    thing is I have them do an actual
  • 00:42:27
    Max okay and and doing an actual Max
  • 00:42:32
    sort of sets the ceiling for them I
  • 00:42:34
    don't do that on the first on the first
  • 00:42:36
    go okay typically it's a few sessions in
  • 00:42:40
    and then and then I let them know
  • 00:42:41
    beforeand hey next time we're going to
  • 00:42:43
    actually test how much you can do at
  • 00:42:44
    this it's going to be totally safe I'll
  • 00:42:46
    be there I'll be spotting you I usually
  • 00:42:48
    teach them how to fail the lift first so
  • 00:42:50
    they feel very comfortable and of course
  • 00:42:52
    I make sure that there's no like
  • 00:42:54
    potential injury history that could that
  • 00:42:56
    could be a risk factor the other thing
  • 00:42:59
    that I do is I watch their bar speed and
  • 00:43:01
    so typically when I'm coaching people
  • 00:43:03
    for most lifts I want them to do the
  • 00:43:05
    concentric portion of the lift as fast
  • 00:43:07
    as possible because there's a lot of
  • 00:43:09
    research showing that you get much
  • 00:43:11
    better faster strength gains if you do
  • 00:43:14
    Max effort uh concentric portion of the
  • 00:43:17
    lift and so by visually assessing the
  • 00:43:20
    bar speed I can typically tell how close
  • 00:43:22
    they are to failure and a lot a lot of
  • 00:43:24
    times the untrained folks or or folks
  • 00:43:27
    who never press close to that they think
  • 00:43:30
    as soon as the bar slows down at all
  • 00:43:32
    that the next rep they're gonna fail so
  • 00:43:34
    I I talk them through that and I basic I
  • 00:43:37
    usually just tell tell them give me
  • 00:43:38
    another give me another give me another
  • 00:43:41
    and then they start surprising
  • 00:43:42
    themselves and and and realizing like oh
  • 00:43:45
    that's what it feels like to grind out a
  • 00:43:47
    rep and I'm usually in there close and
  • 00:43:49
    I'll tell them you know grind it out
  • 00:43:50
    grind it out and I don't do that all the
  • 00:43:52
    time and nor should they do that on
  • 00:43:53
    every set but if I need them to
  • 00:43:55
    experience it that's what I do yeah yeah
  • 00:43:57
    really good question
  • 00:44:00
    Jacob good question it depends on if
  • 00:44:02
    their Plateau is in the strength or
  • 00:44:05
    muscle size or a plateau in a specific
  • 00:44:08
    lift and it depends on what they've been
  • 00:44:10
    do so it depends it depends on what
  • 00:44:12
    they've been doing leading up to that
  • 00:44:14
    but let's say I assessed all of that and
  • 00:44:16
    and we knew and let's say it was a
  • 00:44:19
    plateau in strength in that case I would
  • 00:44:22
    probably first make a small switch to
  • 00:44:25
    the Loading schemes okay let's let's say
  • 00:44:27
    they're training for strength they're
  • 00:44:28
    doing sets of 3 to five they hit a
  • 00:44:30
    plateau and they feel like you know it's
  • 00:44:33
    been a few weeks and I've not making any
  • 00:44:35
    more gains two options one option
  • 00:44:37
    introduce a novel stimulus option number
  • 00:44:39
    two go back up the periodization ladder
  • 00:44:43
    and and sort of rebuild and then hit it
  • 00:44:46
    again and I guess that would also be
  • 00:44:48
    introducing a novel stimulus if that
  • 00:44:50
    makes sense so so in the first case you
  • 00:44:53
    could do something like Ecentric
  • 00:44:56
    Ecentric accent a training you could do
  • 00:44:58
    something like velocity Based training
  • 00:45:00
    you could do something like rest pause
  • 00:45:02
    training you could do something like
  • 00:45:03
    myor reps so like introducing a novel
  • 00:45:05
    training stimulus with the same movement
  • 00:45:08
    in the same you know strength parameters
  • 00:45:10
    okay you could also introduce that
  • 00:45:12
    novelty by just going back to sets of 10
  • 00:45:15
    or 12 and then building back up into
  • 00:45:18
    that strength stimulus does that make
  • 00:45:19
    sense so sort of repeating the process
  • 00:45:22
    mhm mhm yeah really good question you've
  • 00:45:25
    been following coach wolf right yeah
  • 00:45:28
    yeah nice yeah so to be honest I don't
  • 00:45:30
    have a lot of experience with lengthened
  • 00:45:32
    partials and when to inject them into
  • 00:45:34
    training but if we go based off of off
  • 00:45:38
    of scientific principles and we think
  • 00:45:40
    about the fact that in its lengthened
  • 00:45:43
    State the muscle is going to experience
  • 00:45:45
    a lot of mechanical tension and so if
  • 00:45:48
    we're loading that lengthened partial
  • 00:45:51
    range of motion with a lot of time under
  • 00:45:53
    tension there's going to be a lot of
  • 00:45:55
    Doms that are created and generated so
  • 00:46:00
    if your athlete is far from competition
  • 00:46:03
    I say totally fine that's great and in
  • 00:46:05
    fact it might be a good thing to do
  • 00:46:07
    because now we're actually potentially
  • 00:46:09
    improving their range of motion as well
  • 00:46:11
    if they're close to competition then I
  • 00:46:13
    would say don't do the lengthen partials
  • 00:46:16
    let's focus on things that cause less
  • 00:46:18
    fatigue more output instead yeah and and
  • 00:46:22
    Jacob that's a super good point and I'm
  • 00:46:24
    glad you said that when we think about D
  • 00:46:26
    loading we are resensitizing the athlete
  • 00:46:30
    to the training stimulus so in that
  • 00:46:33
    process of resensitization not only are
  • 00:46:35
    we dropping fatigue but now the Adaptive
  • 00:46:39
    resistance or to put it conversely the
  • 00:46:42
    resistance to adaptation that they've
  • 00:46:44
    built up during the training process
  • 00:46:46
    it's actually now going to dissipate as
  • 00:46:48
    well with fatigue and they might find
  • 00:46:50
    that after they return from a nice week
  • 00:46:52
    of Del loading that they can train hard
  • 00:46:54
    again and they can train with renewed
  • 00:46:56
    vigor and they can hit hit that you know
  • 00:46:58
    hit the same Mark and then bust through
  • 00:47:00
    it to break the plateau yeah really good
  • 00:47:02
    question so gosh warm-ups can be so many
  • 00:47:05
    things or they can be a lot of nothing
  • 00:47:08
    that how's that for a not very helpful
  • 00:47:11
    answer so I think of warm-ups as a time
  • 00:47:15
    to sneak in some things that I think the
  • 00:47:18
    athletes need that also prepares them
  • 00:47:22
    for their session and it depends on the
  • 00:47:24
    athlete and it depends on the needs and
  • 00:47:26
    it depends on the
  • 00:47:27
    um in my class what I tell them is
  • 00:47:30
    obviously you want to follow the
  • 00:47:32
    guidelines of well that the NCA puts out
  • 00:47:35
    ra ramp the ramp protocol raise activate
  • 00:47:39
    and mobilize and then potentiate which
  • 00:47:41
    is essentially a way of saying you raise
  • 00:47:43
    the the physiological metabolic
  • 00:47:45
    processes heart rate blood pressure
  • 00:47:47
    sweating rate body temperature did I say
  • 00:47:50
    that one that's R and then activate and
  • 00:47:52
    mobilize you activate muscles and you
  • 00:47:54
    mobilize joints okay and you could do do
  • 00:47:56
    that with Dynamic stretching sequences
  • 00:47:58
    or skipping drills or targeted
  • 00:48:01
    activations or mini bands or really like
  • 00:48:05
    the sky the limit and it depends on your
  • 00:48:07
    athletes and what you're preparing them
  • 00:48:09
    for and then potentiate means that you
  • 00:48:11
    do something that Bridges the gap
  • 00:48:13
    between warm-up and workout so that
  • 00:48:15
    they're ready to hit the workout with
  • 00:48:17
    sufficient in intensity typically for me
  • 00:48:20
    that's some sort of a plyo or a medball
  • 00:48:22
    throw or a short Sprint something that
  • 00:48:24
    really gets to use a colloquial term the
  • 00:48:27
    nervous system firing right it really it
  • 00:48:30
    just raises their level of overall
  • 00:48:32
    activation and motivation for the task
  • 00:48:34
    at hand so I don't yeah I I would say
  • 00:48:38
    warm-ups can do all of that a and at the
  • 00:48:42
    same time sometimes I don't even warm
  • 00:48:44
    the athletes up we just go in and we
  • 00:48:46
    start with the bar for a set of 10 and
  • 00:48:47
    then they go into it it depends on on a
  • 00:48:50
    lot of things it depends on you know
  • 00:48:52
    what are their needs and what type of
  • 00:48:55
    session are we doing what's the
  • 00:48:56
    important of it how much time do we have
  • 00:48:58
    for that session sometimes I'm like okay
  • 00:49:00
    I could do a 15minute warm-up with all
  • 00:49:02
    of this great rehab prehab stuff but man
  • 00:49:04
    this athlete's under a lot of of time
  • 00:49:07
    stress and they're in the middle of
  • 00:49:08
    finals and really I just need them to
  • 00:49:11
    get a 15minute hard stimulus and then
  • 00:49:13
    shut it down for the day and so yeah we
  • 00:49:16
    might do like a thre minute 4 minute
  • 00:49:18
    warmup and then get a 12 minute stimulus
  • 00:49:22
    and then be done or we might have two
  • 00:49:23
    hours and so it's like okay there's so
  • 00:49:26
    much that I could do let's take a full
  • 00:49:28
    15minute warmup and we're going to do
  • 00:49:29
    all these different things and I'm going
  • 00:49:30
    to be teaching them new movement
  • 00:49:31
    patterns and you know giving prescribing
  • 00:49:34
    new prehab work for them to do later but
  • 00:49:36
    I'm teaching them now in the warmup and
  • 00:49:38
    all that kind of stuff so yeah it varies
  • 00:49:40
    but hopefully some of those examples
  • 00:49:42
    were helpful a warm-up can be as much as
  • 00:49:46
    you want or need it to be or as little
  • 00:49:49
    as doing a set of 10 with the bar for
  • 00:49:52
    your first movement and then adding
  • 00:49:54
    weight from there yeah you're welcome
  • 00:49:56
    yeah definitely and and I'll say this
  • 00:49:57
    will be the last thing I say before I
  • 00:49:59
    have to go I I've been I've had the
  • 00:50:01
    pleasure of working with more and more
  • 00:50:03
    pts who are really integrated into the
  • 00:50:06
    training process and into the high
  • 00:50:07
    performance model and see them really
  • 00:50:10
    leveraging a lot of this like really
  • 00:50:13
    good training knowledge and really good
  • 00:50:14
    sports science knowledge and then also
  • 00:50:16
    bringing it back to the clinical setting
  • 00:50:18
    as well because it's that trickle down
  • 00:50:20
    approach you know what we do for the
  • 00:50:23
    high performing athletes obviously takes
  • 00:50:25
    a lot more person power lot more money a
  • 00:50:27
    lot more expertise but as as that
  • 00:50:31
    becomes more and more ubiquitous it
  • 00:50:32
    trickles down to everyone and then we
  • 00:50:34
    can all benefit from it and so if you
  • 00:50:36
    have the chance or the opportunity as a
  • 00:50:37
    practitioner ever to work for a period
  • 00:50:40
    of time in a high performance
  • 00:50:41
    environment and then you can take some
  • 00:50:43
    of what you learned there and the
  • 00:50:45
    passion there and the individualization
  • 00:50:47
    and the pursuit of excellence and then
  • 00:50:49
    incorporate that into your personal
  • 00:50:51
    practice with the general population
  • 00:50:53
    where it's arguably much more needed
  • 00:50:56
    right where it's it may not be as
  • 00:50:58
    incentivized with the dollar but you
  • 00:51:00
    better believe it's going to change a
  • 00:51:01
    lot more lives when you are putting that
  • 00:51:03
    to practice with you know with you let
  • 00:51:07
    let's say a 40 40 hour a week Blue
  • 00:51:09
    Collar guy who can get his job back
  • 00:51:11
    because of the return to play protocol
  • 00:51:13
    that you learned working with the
  • 00:51:14
    basketball team and now he can get back
  • 00:51:16
    on the assembly line right or you know
  • 00:51:19
    helping that soccer mom who had low back
  • 00:51:21
    pain to get strong again so now she can
  • 00:51:24
    go to all her kids soccer games and you
  • 00:51:25
    know pick up her little the East and all
  • 00:51:27
    that kind of stuff to like live life
  • 00:51:28
    more to the full I think it's such a
  • 00:51:30
    it's such a cool opportunity that you
  • 00:51:32
    all are choosing to do so I commend you
  • 00:51:35
    for that and I challenge you to to look
  • 00:51:37
    to these adjacent
  • 00:51:38

  • 00:51:42
    it to what you're passionate
