Training Q&A and Form Checks
One of the main benefits of joining the podcast's crew is access to training Q&A sessions with team elite FTS members and the opportunity to get form checks on your lifts. These interactive sessions provide valuable feedback and assistance in improving your training techniques and addressing any specific concerns.
Importance of Exercise Selection for Optimal Results
Choosing the right exercises for your training program is crucial for achieving optimal results. Optimal exercise selection depends on various factors, including individual goals, body structure, and fatigue management. By selecting exercises that target specific muscle groups effectively and efficiently, you can maximize your training volume and minimize the risk of overtraining.
The Role of Individualization in Training Approach
Individualization plays a crucial role in creating effective training programs. Considering individual differences in anatomy, biomechanics, and training history allows for a more personalized approach. By tailoring exercises, volume, and frequency to the specific needs and capabilities of each individual, coaches can optimize training outcomes and client satisfaction.
Finding the Right Balance in Training Frequency
Training frequency, or how often you train specific muscle groups, is an important aspect of designing a training program. While volume equating studies suggest that total volume is the most significant factor for hypertrophy, finding the right balance between frequency and volume is essential. Factors such as exercise selection, recovery capacity, and individual goals and preferences can influence training frequency decisions.
Consider individual needs and variability in programming
When creating a training program, it's important to consider the individual needs and goals of the client. Optimal programming will vary depending on factors such as exercise selection, rep ranges, and progression methods. Avoid treating programming as a one-size-fits-all approach and instead prioritize individualization to ensure the program is tailored to the client's specific needs.
Find a balance between stability and motor recruitment
Unilateral training can increase motor recruitment, but it's important to consider the stability demands of the exercises. Some exercises may be more stable when performed unilaterally, while others may require more stability when performed bilaterally. Choosing the appropriate rep ranges and exercise variations can help optimize recruitment while maintaining stability.
Strive for progression and manage variables
Progression is key in any training program, but it's important to manage variables such as rep ranges and weights to ensure sustainable progress. Experiment with different rep ranges and ranges of motion to find what works best for each exercise and individual. Balance the need for challenging weights with good form and the ability to progress over time.
Emphasize practicality and context in programming
While optimal programming principles can guide training, practicality and context should also be considered. Overcomplicating programming or obsessing over the perfect program may hinder progress. Focus on what works for the individual, their schedule, and their specific goals to create a program that is both effective and manageable.
The Importance of In-Person Training for Online Coaching
In this podcast episode, the speaker emphasizes the importance of in-person training for individuals who also engage in online coaching. They argue that training in person allows for a better understanding of a client's mannerisms and communication style, which can be crucial in effective online coaching. In-person training provides an opportunity to develop strong communication skills and learn how to extract necessary information from clients. The speaker advises against trying to replicate in-person coaching in the online space, as the two mediums require different approaches and skill sets.
The Value of Specialization in Coaching
The podcast episode also touches on the importance of specialization in coaching and understanding the different needs and preferences of clients. The speaker highlights that online coaching and in-person coaching serve different purposes and cater to different individuals. They emphasize the need to choose clients wisely and provide value based on the specific service being offered. The speaker encourages coaches to focus on delivering the best version of their specialization and not attempt to compete with other coaching methods or services. Listening to long-form discussions and following individuals who provide insightful content can help individuals further their understanding of coaching methodologies.
