Ep. 95: The Science of Tapering: bridging theory to practice w/Hayden Pritchard

Jan 19, 2021

This show was a long time coming. Hayden's dissertation was focused on understanding the role and strategies for tapering to enhance maximal strength performance.

Hayden is a former academic, scientist, and weightlifter, so he knows his way around a university and a weight room. In this episode, we discuss tapering from both an academic (what the research indicates) and anecdotal perspective. We suggest that these two are not mutually exclusive and when used together create strategies to enhance performance when it matters most, on game day.
