Welcome to the resurrection of Compound Performance Radio! We're sorry for the summer hiatus. But we're back, with discussions on the importance of program design, exercise selection, and adjusting programs based on client response. The podcast also covered programming for different training frequencies, specificity vs. general population programming, and individualized training programs for runners and strength athletes. https://www.compoundperformance.com/programming-wait-list
The episode involves a discussion on aerobic development between Craig Owen, Matt Domney, and Seth Zanutto. Seth's background in fitness, combat athletes, and endurance training makes him an ideal participant. The conversation delves into their personal experiences with chaotic training methods and the importance of structured programs for optimal performance. The dialogue shifts to specific training methodologies for fighters, highlighting the need for quality over specificity in developing athletic qualities. They discuss balancing sprinter-like explosiveness with marathon-like endurance to meet the varied demands of different sports like kickboxing, MMA, boxing, hockey, basketball, and football. The approach focuses on building a broad base of fitness tailored to individual athlete assessments. The discussion in the episode focused on optimizing conditioning and training methods for athletes, particularly fighters like Seth Zanutto and Craig Owen. They explored strategies to improve endurance, intensity measurement, and workout structures tailored to different fight durations. The conversation delved into the importance of managing volume, intensity, and tapering during fight camps. Seth Zanutto highlighted the transition from technical training to game planning closer to fights while emphasizing gradual intensity ramp-up followed by a tapering period before competition.
Principle based Specificity v subjectivity Principles are general Principles v protocols Flow chart model Topics and sub-topics Concurrent model Programming via adaptation vs exercise selection Exercise selection Vehicle for stimulus Creating an efficient adaptive environment Model flexibility allows for easy training adjustments in different training environments Limits their ability to help and make money Model flexibility allows for exercise selection flexibility without sacrificing stimulus Where to start Decide what kind of training you like to coach Determine what kind of stress you're trying to apply What stress is this movement going to elicit? Homeostasis vs allostasis Adaptation lead training
The CP Podcast is BACK! After a long hiatus, we've finally decided to bring back the podcast with a different goal - instead of interviewing a new guest every week and rehashing basically the same topic each time, we're going to give you our thoughts on more specific things in the industry. This week, we're discussing biomechanics vs load management! Check out some of the details below Biomechanics v load management Biomechanical lens Not all sets and reps are equal and shouldn't be quantified that way Stress profiles, fatigue costs, tissue applications Stimulus/self-organization lens Thoughts on “optimal” and leveraging diff ROM's Bioenergetic lens Influences on training strategy and exercise selection in a concurrent model Systemic stress profiles

After she began powerlifting in 2013, Isabella quickly rose to international level. She made her debut on the Swedish National team in 2015, earning a bronze medal overall at the Classic World Championships and a European record in the squat. Today she is the current and seven-time IPF raw world record holder in the squat in the -72kg category, the European record holder with a 512.5kg total and 500+ Wilks, twofold European champion and a three time World Championship medalist. In 2017 she was voted IPF Female Lifter of the Year and in 2018 she became the lightest woman in the IPF to squat 200kg in sleeves. While Isabella was making her presence felt as a fierce competitor in the International Powerlifting Federation, she was also developing the foundation of her coaching skills. Over the years, she has coached lifters both online and one on one in a variety of formats, as well as handled competitors at both Swedish and US National Championships. For the past two years, she has held powerlifting seminars all over the world and lectured on Mindset and the psychological aspects of lifting, presenting at events such as the European Powerlifting Conference 2018 in Dublin and The Global Strength Summit 2019 in Dubai. Much of her coaching style is built upon the psychological education she gained from social work studies between 2015 and 2018 at Gothenburg University. Isabella believes that to effectively help clients reach their goals, motivation and mental challenges must be understood and taken into account with equal respect as the physical preparations. The unique experiences of a fast rise to international success, formal education, and practical client work, has given her a solid understanding for the mental rigors that go along with competition at any level. Her ability to listen to athletes, empathize, and challenge them when necessary is one of many major tools to helps lifters achieve their potential on the platform.
