Stepping away from collegiate strength and conditioning, I’ve had time to reflect. In this article, I’ll delve into programming — the good and the ugly. Program-wise, exactly what are your goals?

Consider two powerlifters who are identical in strength and technique, but one is 20 centimeters taller than the other. This height difference changes everything about the lifter’s levers, and thus volume needs.

Mental strength and physical strength are two necessary components for a healthy, happy life of abundance, but you have to get uncomfortable to start building them.

Many coaches still believe it is heresy to say that athletes can build absolute strength and endurance simultaneously, but athletes all over the world are doing so and making great progress. Here are a few ways to do so even more successfully.

To be elite in combat sports these days you need to be more well-rounded in your strength and conditioning than ever. You’ll need absolute strength, relative strength, strength endurance, special strength, speed, power, and conditioning.

The strength of the athlete determines what kind of preparation will produce the desired training effect: more reps. We need to stop and ask three questions.

Determining the time to implement velocity-based training hinges on three characteristics of your program and athletes. Give them what they need, when they need it.

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between muscular overcoming, yielding, and holding during training for absolute strength on the bench press.
