Fundamental Concepts for Exhaustive Programming
Judging One’s Programs?
This past week, approached by one of my interns I was handed two pieces of paper and asked a simple question – "Coach, what do you think of this program I wrote?"
What’s on Paper vs. What’s in Real Life & Lifter’s Intuition
The Missing Piece in Designing Your Training Program – The Autonomic Nervous System. Part 3 – Application
Part one of this series covered the very basic physiology of the autonomic nervous system. Part two discussed some of the many practical assessment strategies of the ANS. Here in part three we’ll uncover some practical applications for your programming.
The Missing Piece in Designing Your Training Program – the Autonomic Nervous System. Part 2: Assessment
In our last installment, we reviewed the mechanistic effects of both good and bad autonomic balance. We discussed how constantly leaving your athletes in a state of sympathetic dominance will cause your training program to underachieve and absolute level results to decline either acutely, chronically, or both. Here in part 2, we'll elucidate assessment strategies […]
The Missing Piece in Designing Your Training Program – the Autonomic Nervous System. Part 1: The Science
Knowing physiology is great but applying that knowledge to our program design is what we’re all after. This three part series will discuss the selective science (part 1), assessment (part 2), and application (part 3) of particular physiological aspects in relation to athletic performance, “conditioning”, and longevity. I chose this topic because I feel […]
When Is It OK To “Guess” and Not Assess?
Here’s a contribution I made to my very good friend Patrick Ward’s website. There’s a stigma surrounding those who do not “assess” their clients/athletes and opt for an educated “guess” before comensing with program design. Read why I believe this is perfectly fine at times: Check it out HERE!
