  • Here we speak about - Intra and intermuscular coordination, neural inhibition, stretch-shorthening-cycle (SSC), hypertrophy, nutrition, drugs, and programming
  • Mike gets into an extensive indepth discussion on how he has utilized Dr. Bondarchuk's training system with his powerlifting athletes 
  • Mike talks about how the human organism is a non-linear entity and this impacts adaptation
  • Mike discusses the responder types he has seen with using this Bondarchuk model
  • Mike tells us his thoughts on using a Bondarchuk approach with a beginner
