What makes a good strength and conditioning program?
Is it just doing hard stuff in the gym so you’re more prepared for the sport?
It’s actually quite far from that, and Don Moxley has a TON of data to prove it.
Don Moxley is a sports scientist, who helped many athletes achieve incredible success in wrestling, including Olympic medals and many world championships.
This is Don’s 2nd appearance on the show, as he was on from Episode 75, and we picked up right where we left off, talking about the details so many people miss when it comes to good strength and conditioning programs.
This discussion was even more detailed in its discussion of how someone can appreciate using more data rather than guessing when improving their exercise performance.
In this episode we discuss:
- What got him to be a strength coach
- How he realized doing LESS gave him more
- The effect that the speed of a movement has on power development
- How do athletes address their weaknesses?
- What do wearables do to help athletes?
- Why is Zone 4 cardio bad?
- How to pay attention to overtraining
If you would like to nerd out about what’s going on in strength and conditioning for modern-day athletes, this is a great episode for you.
