Weightlifter's Guide to the Clean and Jerk

Drake Eserhaut is a PhD student at the University of Kansas, where he studies the endocrine response to exercise and sport, specifically including blood flow restriction training for strength and power athletes.

In this episode, we discuss subject and objective athlete monitoring. This encompasses questionnaires to assess readiness, the roles of testosterone and cortisol in monitoring, and how science fits in.

Enjoy!
