Editor's Letter for September

Welcome to elitefts for more from your favorite columnists, coaches, and athletes!

Here’s a glance of some of the content we’re excited about this September. Let’s get right to it, shall we?

Week 1

Seth Albersworth is wrapping up his 4-part series on the conjugate method during the first week of the month. It’s here he simplifies and breaks down the max effort method, dynamic effort method, and repeated effort method into principles, ultimately to answer the following questions:

What exercises should you train on max effort days? What rep range should you train? How do you rotate things?
How heavy do you need to go on dynamic effort days? How many sets should you do?
What accessory lifts should you be doing? How heavy should you be going on these? How much accessory volume should you be hitting?

Read each part here:

Table Talk Podcast #27 introduces Zach Thayer, our videographer intern, who happens to be familiar with the gym and a fan of Dave. Listen to his story and his questions for Dave as he sets out on a new professional (and strengthening) opportunity.

Week 2

For the second week of September, Jason Brown shares how he figures out exercise variance for his own training and with his general population and CrossFit clients. After more than 15 years of training, he just recently changed his methodology, considering influences like Dr. John Rusin (revisit how Dr. John Rusin helped Dave Tate) and Christian Thibadeau. Read this on September 14^th.

Week 3

Then, during Week 3, Ashley Jones recounts the specific injuries that are inherent in the game of rugby. To keep strong and work through injury, he shares 7 strength training items his rugby players (and himself as their programmer) can’t live without. Read this on September 18^th.

Week 4

During the last (but certainly not least) week of the month, Jennifer Petrosino recounts her lifting journey from age 15 to soon-to-be 30 years. She’s the first to admit that she’s spent half of her life working against herself to obtain a strong and lean body. Don’t make the same mistakes she did! Read this on September 22^nd.
