Y pues como me diseño un programa de entrenamiento para el gym?

Is there a way I can get the ecuation of the linear line for the % of 1RM versus velocity curve?

Really like this video. I am in my junior year in America, the most important year for sports recruiting. Strength training is heavily undervalued in non professional environments. It is crazy how much stronger I was after hitting the weights hard for 2 weeks prior to my aerobic base build. I used to be bad at hill workouts, and I now consider them to not always be super painful.

Hello Alex, been trying out the running overcoming isometrics recently and it’s been helping with speed improvement. I have a question regarding your thoughts on single leg squat iso and producing 5-6 times body weight for elite sprinters. When you calculate that are you using your method of single leg squat iso push, an example, a 100kg athlete puts an additional load of 100kg on the bar, and then it’s equivalent to 3x body weight, so if 200kg in on the bar, then it’s 6x body weight? Is it also the same if instead of using weights you just hit 200kg on the force plate? Or is it the 100kg athlete hitting 500kg on the force plate, then you’re saying he’s 5x body weight? Thank you for putting out great content, helping athletes get better. Just a little bit confused of how you calculate when an athlete is at 5-6x body weight for a single leg squat. Is it 6x when the 100kg athlete sl squat 200kg, or 600kg

Great video! Lots of valuable information explained in a simple and effective manner. Can go a long way in helping runners and those who help runners fill in the gaps and optimize in their training to support intended running outcomes.

Great video!

Thank you so much for these. Always really looking forward to them. Excelente trabajo Dr. Balsabore! Soy un gran aficionado tanto de su trabajo como de la carrera de medio fondo. Vivo en Madrid y me encantaría que me guiaras en mi entrenamiento personal, jaja. Por cierto, ¿qué tipo de test realizaron para medir el grado de stiffness en los corredores?

For F#^&* sake change your smoke detector battery.

Was the BFR protocol prior to on track work? If so what was time separating training stimulus’? If opposing, is there any perceived issue with administering this protocol with lower volume for an athlete prior to a team sport training session? Aside from the obvious localized fatigue.

Pretty interesting stuff. You say you are exporting raw data for this analysis. I see you have it in powepivot excel. Is your model also built in power pivot with say a cube model or are you pre-processing somewhere else and creating exported aggregated values for this power pivot?

Awesome work , absolutely amazing 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Nice case study. Thanks for that. I still think more strength can be beneficial for speed. One potential explanation in my opinion could be age: they were quite young. Second explanation: Fatigue and delayed transfer effects. 2 strength sessions a week can produce a lot of fatigue which can last up to 2-4 weeks. It could be the case, that because of the fatigue, the speed numbers didn't go up immediately. Greetings from Vienna.

What did the cycling training consist of, if I may ask? I have recently taken up cycling and am curious to know the optimal way to increase strength/power in the weight room while improving cycling performance. Thank you.

Man, this is so interesting, especially the idea that some exercises may benefit some while impeding the progress of others... awesome info.

Very interesting data!

Amazing content as always, thank you so much for sharing. On a different note, I am an adolescent aspiring athlete and was wondering whether you would happen to know of any similar case studies (that seek to determine sufficient strength level) that work with pubertal males so that it is more applicable to my case?

Good work mate. Subscribed and looking forward to following these!

Great Stuff! Maybe you can give me some advice. Before the pandemic, i can grab the rim of 2 feet. Then after 8 months i started to train again. My max back squats and deadlift are back as it was before and i am doing the same exercises as before as well. However, it seems that i am having a hard time to grab the rim. What do you think seems to be the problem? Should i changed my program or stick to it?

What was his warm-up?

Great case study. Thank you Joel & Alex. I have very similar tendencies as the mentioned athlete. For me, the limiting factor in performance has always been ‘raw’ force production, but ‘grinding’ type of lifting and yielding ISO’s sucked the life out of me. One thing that checked this need for maximal strength (really maximal tension in the muscles) is EMS (electric muscle stimulation) with maximal contractions (up to 7sets of 7s contractions with 2-3’ rest) at critical joint angles /muscle lengths. Always feel strong after good 8-12 sessions, without it draining and inhibiting my power outputs during the training cycle. I’ve coupled the EMS sessions with assisted jumps (with elastic cords, about 30-40% bodyweight reduction), and RFD is going through the roof from session to session. Might try setting up EMS with overcoming ISO’s as well. Anyway, just sharing my thoughts and experiences. Kind regards.

Hi Alex, awesome first episode, can't wait for more of these to come out. Just out of curiosity, was the skip rope running broken up into sets or was it 500m of continuous skipping?
