NEW ARTICLE: More Than Miles - Lift Heavy, Run Faster!
Endurance runners are often criticized because they like to collect Strava miles & don’t like to lift! But a high-intensity strength program will help you run faster & accumulate better quality miles

The mechanism that puts the hamstrings at risk may also be part of what makes us fast🤔

Podcast with @E3Rehab
Part 1: All Things Plyometrics
🔹Strength quality classification
🔹Jumps vs Plyos
🔹Fast vs Slow SSC
🔹Plyo intensity and exercise tiering
🔹Plyometric volume prescription
🔹Plyometric progressions

In our latest podcast episode, @ChrisHughen sat down with @EamonnFlanagan to discuss all things plyometrics.
We dive into the different strength qualities, extensive versus intensive plyos, progression methods, and much more.

The first intervention study that compared the adaptations to push (PIMA) and hold (HIMA) is finally published.
Our results showed that PIMA led to greater strength improvement while HIMA led to slightly greater hypertrophy.

Results of our latest study showed that heavy dynamic strength has ⬆️ relation with fast dynamic strength but iso strength may have a ⬆️ relation with reactive strength. Compared to heavy dynamic strength iso RFD has weaker relation with fast dynamic and reactive strength.
The question now may be, why is there a need to perform isometric strength tests on top of a heavy dynamic strength test? Apart from being fast, safe and less fatiguing, isometric strength test requires less skill. Hence, the peak force obtained can be considered pure strength.
Results of our latest study showed that heavy dynamic strength has ⬆️ relation with fast dynamic strength but iso strength may have a ⬆️ relation with reactive strength. Compared to heavy dynamic strength iso RFD has weaker relation with fast dynamic and reactive strength.

📢 New Podcast Summary
Isometric training; the why, when and how
with @DannyLum82
“Isometrics should not replace dynamic strength training. They should sharpen the parts of the lift or sport action that need it most”

This volume cheat sheet is from my @sportsmithhq course on "true" plyometrics
There's 4⃣ primary factors to establish plyo training volume:
- exercise intensity & training phase
- surface
- exercise variety
- athlete level
Here's how they influence plyo training volume

Results from our study showed that performing max iso co-contraction (3x5-10x3s) for the lower limb muscles in a seated position 3x/wk for 4 wks, lead to ⬆️IMTP peak force, 3m timed up and go and 30s chair stand performance in sedentary adults. @PaulComfort1975 @DustinOranchuk

A 4-week caloric restriction with high volume resistance-training and high-protein diet does not increase fat-free mass sparing but increases strength
