Strength Training with Chris Soto & Joe Dzubak

In this episode, I sat down with Chris Soto and Joe Dzubak to discuss the importance of strength training for different populations, including general population individuals, performance athletes, and tactical athletes. We emphasize the need for a well-rounded approach to strength training, focusing on hypertrophy, slow speed strength, and resistance training. We provide insights into how to educate and guide individuals who are new to strength training, emphasizing the importance of finding a program that fits their schedule, providing feedback and modifications, and building a strong coach-athlete relationship. We also address common misconceptions about strength training, such as the fear of becoming too bulky, and highlight the benefits of strength training for overall health, body composition, and injury prevention. We discuss the specific considerations for performance athletes, such as endurance runners and field sport athletes, and how strength training can complement their training programs. Lastly, we touch on the importance of leg development, work capacity, load carriage, and concurrent training for tactical athletes preparing for selection courses.
