We’re back with our monthly Q&A show friend!

These have been so much fun to record, and offers a nice balance between me hosting the show, and me (hopefully) providing some of my own unique thoughts and insights into training.

This week’s episode is going to cover a ton of questions around program design.

We’re going to talk about off-season training layouts, and how to write more effective off-season workouts.

We’ll talk about programming speed and power for your gen pop clients and athletes.

And in my favorite part of the show, we’re going to talk about how you can write programs that simultaneously develop strength AND conditioning.

Like I said there’s a ton of ground covered here, so I really hope you enjoy this episode!

The question you have to ask yourself is this: What qualities can you NOT develop during the competitive season? – Mike Robertson

This week on the Physical Prep Podcast:

• How does the ground prep series work? Why do I feel so good after I do it? And when do YOU use it? – James
• What’s your process for prioritizing the needs of your athletes when you have them for such a short time? And on the flip side of that, when you have a long time with an athlete, how do you pick where to start and how to prioritize? – Zach
• How do you write programs incorporating both strength and conditioning together, but not choosing or using conflicting methods or techniques?! – Michael
• How do you reconcile between increasing strength, but also restoring expansion/movement options/movement quality within a single program? – Alec
• How do you know when you can safely implement explosive exercises for normal gen pop clients. How do you know when they’re ready? – Paulius

Build Savage, Athletic Beasts with Exerfly!

This week’s episode of the Physical Preparation Podcast is brought to you by Exerfly.

Flywheel training is a method of strength training where your athletes generate resistance by using the inertia of a flywheel instead of traditional gravity-based resistance training

By accelerating and then decelerating a disk, your athletes generate resistance in both the concentric and eccentric portions of the lift, WITHOUT the need for ridiculously heavy weights.

Standard free weight training is great for the early preparatory phases, but as athletes develop there’s more to it than just getting stronger at all costs.

At some point, you need to prepare them for the massive eccentric forces they’ll experience on the field, court or pitch – and with Exerfly’s motorized technology, you can increase the eccentric overload of the lift anywhere from 1-80%!

Exerfly is used by numerous teams in the NFL, NBA, over 50% of the English Premiere League, and numerous Olympic development programs.

Now as a small business owner you may immediately assume that an Exerfly is out of your budget, because we all know that every penny counts.

But Exerfly has you covered here as well – they offer 36-month, interest free-financing, so you can get started ASAP with your training and pay as you go.

And when you factor in a 30-day money back guarantee, 2- year warranty AND free shipping, the Exerfly really is a solid investment.
