    Most Coaches Are Barely Scratching the Surface of BFR

    Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) is much more than a rehab tool. In this episode of Cheeky Mid Weeky, Mark Mitchell shares how he integrates BFR into warm-ups, conditioning, in-season lifting, recovery, and travel. He also explains why great coaches don't chase one method—they build a toolbox and use the right tool for the right athlete.

    PNF, Functional Training, Bands & Chains, and Hypertrophy | Supertraining in a Year (Pages 376–420)

    In this episode of Supertraining in a Year, Justin Lima and Yosef Johnson continue their journey through Supertraining, covering pages 376–420. Pages 376-405 were covered last week when Justin was at NSCA National but Yosef's camera stopped working again - they cover those pages briefly then they move on. This week's discussion dives into one of the most information-dense sections of the book, covering Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF), functional training, accommodating resistance, accelerated eccentric methods, and hypertrophy. Along the way, they explore why many "new" training concepts are actually decades old, how coaches should think about exercise selection, and why results—not trends—should drive programming decisions. ___ Download The Supertraining Reading Plan https://strengthcoachnetwork.com/st ___ Buy Supertraining to Read Along with Us - use code STRONGER20 to save 20% https://uaconcepts.com/product/supertraining ___ From our sponsors: Hawkin Dynamics 🌎Site: https://www.hawkindynamics.com/ Hawkin Dynamics is the world leader in force plate solutions.
