EP 216: Strength & Conditioning, Hybrid, Transformation Program Design Insights and Wisdom (Part 1) w/ Cody McBroom

I have Cody back on the show and we dive into the nuances, contest, insights and wisdom of strength and conditioning, transformation, and hybrid programs program design, templates, and much more.

Cody McBroom is a Father, Husband, Online Trainer and Sports-Nutritionist, and the Founder/CEO of Tailored Coaching Method, a Coaching Company that helps Average People Achieve Above-Average Physiques. 

IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:

=> Making sense of strength and conditioning programs and templates, so that you know how to put together a program that accomplishes your goals. 

=> The question that you must ask your clients that determines the MAIN focus of their program.

=> Why having a great foundational strength program can carry over to a lot of performance events.

=> When is more strength training the way, and when is it NOT the way (different properties for different clients determine different approaches to training and program design).

=> Why we’re working on adding quarterly performance tests to our gym and why this makes sense. 

=> My approach to designing programs for clients that want to work on multiple things like speed, strength, conditioning, mobility, etc.

=> What does “Do you want to complete or compete?” mean and how does it affect the different approach to training.

=> What it really takes to become a high level hybrid athlete (and is that what you should shoot for).

=> The nuances between training 3-4x a week and is it enough to train 3x a week to build a considerable amounts of muscle (the answer is not what you think!).

=> Everything is based on what a client can actually do, before you ever talk about what is an optimal template.

=> Compliance is a big factor when it comes training, the mental aspect of putting in work on your program; is a big key to success.

=> Why experts agree on most things when you talk to them in person with long term content, but when you see studies online its easy to start arguing; here’s some examples.

=> Why volume may be a better option for body composition when someone is training through online coaching (because you can’t guarantee intensity). 

=> Rep ranges, set schemes, intensities, low-high, development-stimulus-recovery days, all explained and what to use when.

=> Breaking down the conjugate method and how I use it in the Athlete For Life model for general population clients. 
=> Determining your KPI (key performance indicator) lifts and how to improve them and build exercises around it.

=> Sequencing of exercises matters, and this is how you organize it based on the goal. 

=> How to design programs for clients online when you don’t see them while you’re coaching them (there’s plenty of differences).
