It is time for part 4 of our ongoing series examining the keys to effective program design. In part 1 I discussed training mode, part 2 covered energy systems, and in part 3 we looked at autoregulatory training and training split. This weeks article will look at work capacity. Work Capacity This was touched upon in part [...] [...]

While it’s true that the glutes, quads, hamstrings, and abs are the primary “engines” behind most sporting movements, it’s impossible to reach one’s full potential without adequately strong and functional lower legs. Whereas propulsive power is generated by the hips, it’s transferred into the ground through the calves, ankles, feet, and toes. [...]

Welcome back. In part 1 of this series we discussed training mode. In part 2 I discussed energy systems and made a case for you to time your sets. Now in part 3 we are going to discuss volume management and training split. We will begin with volume management as it lays the foundation for [...]

In part 1 of the Seven Keys we discussed the exercise type or mode. We identified three different modes of exercise. They are quickness, power, and strength. Power was further subdivided into speed-strength and strength-speed. Now we will begin to look at a common variable: repetitions.
Most people are familiar [...]
For some reason, probably due to the popularity of Westside Barbell’s training methods, the term “strength” has become all but synonymous with lifting maxes. Because of this, far too many athletes spend their energy pushing heavy singles in the squat and deadlift when their [...]
Hey everyone, my name is RJ Nelsen and I’m an athlete/coach whose primary interest is speed training, both for team sports and for track and field. I can’t say I have much in the way of accomplishments to my name, but over the past few years I’ve transformed myself from a scrawny couch potato into [...]
