Episode notes
Training Is More Than Force Production
- Most people train only two lanes: cardio machines and lifting, which narrows development to force production.
- Expanding capacities like coordination and reflexes builds a fuller adult athlete and long-term capability.
Make Conditioning Productive
- Use weighted vest walks and nasal breathing to make conditioning productive and manageable.
- Microdose these practices daily to improve capacity without long extra sessions.
Use Jumping For Tendon Bounce
- Reintroduce jump rope and hopping to build tendon strength, rhythm, and effortless bounce.
- Start small, accept early mistakes, and progress a few weeks until rhythm and tendon-driven spring appear.
