Episode notes
Proper Sled Push Technique
- Avoid pushing the sled with hips out or a rounded back to maintain power and proper alignment.
- Use full strides with a straight line from shoulders to ankles at about 45 degrees, and keep feet pushing horizontally, not stomping down.
Train What Is Trainable
- Train only the exercises you can do without pain and maximize their volume and intensity.
- Don't dwell on what you can't do due to injury; focus on excelling with trainable movements.
Designing Longevity Training
- Clarify the client's specific longevity goal before designing a training plan.
- Incorporate speed, strength, hypertrophy, endurance, and mobility to maintain capacities that decline with age.
