Between 2 Racks Rapid Fire Q&A: Sports Specialization, Biomechanics, Weaknesses & More
Get ready for a packed episode of Rapid Fire Q&A, where we answer viewer-submitted questions on a wide range of training topics. Whether you're a coach, athlete, or fitness enthusiast, this episode is loaded with actionable insights and practical strategies to sharpen your approach.
We break down the ideal training macros for a high school wide receiver balancing 2–3 days of training outside of team football, followed by periodization strategies for soccer players dealing with a short 8–12 week offseason. Discover how to implement the chin and dip progressions effectively in a training session and learn about why we break our traditional rules.
We discuss how to structure 3x per week training with our standar 4x per week split. We also give you our opinion on the biomechanics discussion for hypertrophy and why it might (or might not) hold significance for your programming.
Additional highlights include how we would handle strength training recommendations for a 40-year-old masters sprinter tackling the 100m and 200m, approaches to training athletes with multiple goals like strength, hypertrophy, and athletic performance, and managing training loads during high-stress periods in life.
