Buffer Zones, Optimizing Training and In-Season Workouts

Okay my friends, today we’re trying something 100% and completely NEW with this podcast!

Yes, even after 500 episodes, I’m still looking for ways to keep it fresh and exciting, so I really hope you enjoy it.

In today’s MR Training Talk, we’re going to dive deeper into some of my most popular articles and social media posts in recent memory.

For example…

• What are the biggest mistakes coaches make when writing in-season programs?
• How can you optimizing a client or athlete’s training based on their unique physical characteristics?
• And what the heck is a “Buffer Zone?” And why are they so important?

I’m going to answer all those questions – and more – in this week’s episode of the Physical Prep Podcast!

Quotable Quotes:

Tailor exercises to an athlete needs – not trends – for better results and fewer injuries

Recognizing whether an athlete is more stiff or compliant allows for a precise intervention

In-season training success relies on balancing multiple workout types—loading, maintenance, “stim” and recovery

This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast:

• Why I created this podcast format, and how I think it will help YOU
• How to optimize training for your floppy/unstable athletes
• Who deep tier plyos will work best for (as well as who should avoid them, at least early-on)
• The biggest mistakes I see coaches making with their in-season workouts
• Why you absolutely SHOULD lock in on the details of movement…
• …but why you SHOULD NOT do this at the expense of other physical qualities
• My “Big 3” physical qualities you should be developing if you want to make savage gen pop clients or athletes
• An introduction to the concept of the physiological “Buffer Zone”
• Understanding how the buffer zone concept works not only with mobility, but virtually any physical quality you want to develop!
