Strength Coach Network is bridging the gap from the class room to the weight room. This is why we are where Strength Coaches come to learn. In fact we bridge the gap from 📚 to 🏋️‍♂️ so well we have members all across athletics. How do we do this? Strength and conditioning in athletics SHOULD be exciting. Yet too many people make it dull and boring. We are not sure why this is the case - working with professional and collegiate athletes is awesome! In this show from Strength Coach Network, join Dr. Justin Lima as he talks with experts in the field of strength and conditioning. Dr. Lima has been working in college athletics since 2009 after his athletic career ended. Since then he has worked in college sports at Big 10, ACC, Ivy League, and more helping hundreds of athletes while placing some into professional careers. He also earned his PhD in Health and Human Performance and Masters in Strength and Conditioning. Each week he is joined by coaches who make their living working in the field of strength and conditioning. On the show we dive into the world of working in professional and collegiate sport - but make it interesting! Yes we dive into the science of exercise, our spin on it makes it digestable for everyone to understand how elite athletes are able to perform. So be cheeky and indulge on this conversation in the middle of each week, and learn how the best athletes prepare for GameDay.

    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.
