There are more components to a lifting schedule than heavy training. How about training for speed?

New research on concurrent training gives us more insight into how to set up our programming considering nutrition, blood flow restriction, and VO2 max.

Westside Barbell, 5/3/1, 5thSet, and Juggernaut Training Systems all play a role in the creation of this program. Let me know how you advance using it.

My football players were being held back by strength deficits that are left underdeveloped in most high school programs—development of speed and maximal strength in the weight room. Here's how I filled in the gaps.

How different can programming be for swimmers? Let's take a deeper dive into how the Tier System fits perfectly into portions of the swim event and the number of days we train (no pun intended).

Program these five key areas to improve your clients' results and keep them injury-free while staying motivated to train.

Here are several programs that were used during our last rugby season. Take special notice of the variety that you can achieve but also the range and breadth of programming in a team sport.

Tampa Bay beat Dallas 2-0 in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup last night—a victorious end to a tumultuous storm of a season.

Many mistakes were made over the first one and a half years of this program. I tested and made tweaks using Julia and me as guinea pigs so that my clients (and now you) can benefit from combining conjugate with triphasic.

If you watch games, particularly college football games in the 80s, everyone looked strong. I know they had big pads and all, but so many players just looked the part. They definitely kept strength leakage to a minimum. How?

I believe that the individualization of programming in team sports is the real holy grail of strength and conditioning. The application of the 3x3 programming matrix will ensure that each player will have the best opportunity to improve in the areas of dire need.

Right now, CrossFit faces challenges that no playbook illustrates. Here's how I'm making sense of it all.

What exercises allow you to produce as much output as possible? What exercises and will allow you to target the muscles you want to hit and push things to failure while minimizing the risk of injury?

Maintaining as much muscle mass as you can should be right up there on your priority list. Here's what this means for your training as you train with little to no equipment.

When you don’t have access to high external loads (i.e., a barbell and weights), then training for maximal strength is pretty much impossible. So we should forget about that as a direct outcome of our training for the time being.

This a long timeframe to let yourself get down and to slide backward in habits and work ethic. So we need a focus, and it needs to be a change of focus. We need goals in short.

What I’m presenting is what’s worked for my athletes. This 12-week program is based on principles involving anatomy, biomechanics, physiology, psychology, and neurology along with 10 years of experience coaching.

Here's the standard week-long plan with a seven-day turnaround between games, optimizing a balance between recovery both physiologically and psychologically.

In its simplest form, online coaching can be provided via email and text. It is not done in group form but is personalized and unique based on the client—just as if he or she were in your gym.

The great thing about this system is that it's flexible. Here are four different methods you can choose from this in-season so your athletes feel good and get stronger.

You'll need to adjust accordingly if you want to make the most of your training (and menstrual) cycle.

In this phase, we'll be introducing the back squat, hinging motion, and more plyometric work.

Interested in creating your own strongman conjugate program? I consulted with the experts and wrote a guide to give you all the information you need to set yourself up for strength gains in your lifts — where it matters.

I wanted to write an article that impacts all of the sport teams I work with but can be used across really any team setting. This is going to be a general guideline I use for my entire program.
