My strength coach goal for 2025. Is it listen to and extract as much infl as possible from this channel and from the Pace Performance Podcast. Sportsmith is one of the top resosurces we have in the sports performance world for evolution and a high standard.

❤

The video ends abruptly. Is the rest going to be shown?

visuals would be helpful. it's hard to picture positions from a raw conversation

Hi, when is the second part of the interview planed?

Couldn't agree more when it comes to loading. Kids today are too focused on pr's rather than executing the movement correctly and effectively. Jim Wendler is a hs strength coach and his wife works with the middle schoolers. Jim tells his athletes to treat each rep as their REPUTATION, slow and controlled with an explosive finish. He doesn't allow record boards and he doesn't change their working sets until he's satisfied with bar speed of the reps.

This guys always says yes an no thats crazy

Great show, where’s the rest of the interview?

Image what these ladies endure just to play soccer and make us happy.

Brilliant! Thank you!!

Thank you so much for touching on iron deficiency! Such a big issue in female athletes today.

❤

@Sportsmith can your guest name some of the 'previously unsolveable problems' did he solve?

Hello, I need to know what size of chain a DP Airgometer Stationary Bike uses. Thank you in advance.

What an amazing dose of information. I really appreciate it ❤

Wish PA's would listen. I dislocated my clavicle moving sod with clumps of clay soil. All they did was an X-ray! Said collegen would not help. I used a posture brace, did exercise this doc recommended. Insurance doesn't want to pay for scans! Needs to be seen by GP's!

Hi there. Please keep up the great work. Learning a lot from your podcasts. Can't believe you've only got 4k subscribers . Strange world . Anyway cane across hytro from your recovery topic in May and wondered if you have a discount code as I'd like to buy thier shirt and experiment

This was great. Thank you

Has been a fan of this topic for some time already and I’m more than happy to see this podcast! Thank you for your work guys! Greets from Germany!

11:51 in the video to skip the lengthy intro

What kind of gelatin is he talking about? Gelatin for jello?

Intesting information tho I have a few questions with the application. I even did your program a few months ago but I really struggled to get my head around if I was doing the right intensity. Like what is the difference between light, med and ping. Sure ping minimal ground time, maximum intensity but then how does light and medium differ in intent, as less feels ineffective stimuli or just warmups. And how to you measure improvement? Then what is your intent with the deep tier are you still trying to maximise out put even tho it’s about absorption? I.e. should you minimise ground contact time if it is “plyo” tho this feels counter productive to absorption or should you maximise jump force out of the movement? Or is there another focus

What is the guests Instagram?

Is there a video of the agility separation test?

What are stiffness hops

Great one! Thank you guys

How does this only have 600 views. I’ve seen it like 4 times and always pick up something new. Quality sharing

We did want to hear that timeline! 😂

Can you please post link or paper title for BFR for Steven Peterson thanks 🙏🏽

Love how excited and open Les is to learn from others.

Truly appreciate the quality of questions you ask your guests! Super helpful for upcoming coaches like myself. Keep up the great work🙌

I am confused as to the reasoning behind NOT utilizing training methods such as plyometrics, eccentrics, etc until an athlete is at an advanced training age, delaying their implementation from a point where they would benefit from those methods. If I am understanding the justification correctly, if a group of athletes is split into two groups, and one group begins plyometric training 6 months into the program, and the other begins plyometric training 2 years into the program, the group that receives plyometric training 2 years in will exhibit greater SSC performance long term? This seems counter intuitive to me. I can see how the group given plyometrics after 2 years may have greater magnitude of gains in a period of 6 months after beginning plyometric training compared to the same 6 month period after the first training group began plyometric training, but how does that shake out long term? Would athletes not benefit to a greater extent with a longer period of exposure? If athletes are not plyometric training for the first few years of their playing careers, are they under-exposed to SSC training that might reduce injury risk? Is there research on this subject? It seems that it would be extremely difficult to test this hypothesis given the length of the study period required. I'm not trying to be combative, I'm just confused by this concept I've heard several times recently.

Looking forward to the rest of this. Great information.

So if your tendinopathy is closer to the bone you need more plyometrics to encourage cross-link and stifness ?

thx coach dodoo, coach pacey - excellent

Excellent, very insightful and relevant to my current practice. Thanks guys

What an unbelievable podcast

What about tendon thickness increase from training?

Wow.. super informative…

This was really interesting. Thank you for sharing - hugely helpful as I'm writing my dissertation on FV profiling!

This is a real treasure youtuber, so many sports scientists and researchers.

I use isometrics training as warm ups and as finishers on my workouts. As a calisthenics athlete I use isometrics all the time in training. Gymnastics athletes have the most knowledge in isometrics. Thanks Alex Natera

Nice podcast
