Today's show is with Kibwé Johnson.  Kibwé is the director of track and field at SPIRE Academy, in Geneva, Ohio, and the founder of FORTIUS performance.  Prior to SPIRE, Kibwe coached throws at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida for 4 years. In his time as an athlete, Kibwé established himself as one of the USA's best hammer throwers by being ranked first or second for over a decade, and his personal best of 80.31m/263'5” in 2011 the best mark by an American hammer thrower in over ten years.  He also owns the world's all-time best HT/DT/WT combination of distances. Kibwé has personally worked with some of the most well regarded coaches in the US and internationally.  His coach for his final 10 years, Dr. Anatoliy Bondarchuk, greatly influenced the development of Kibwé's own methodologies.  Kibwé's coaching philosophy is built on communication and cites his experiences as a husband and father with learning how to become more effective as a coach. In my time as a coach, I've learned that technique and skill are more than a set of instructions, or a final “model” to shoot for through a series of drills and cues.  Although these instructions can certainly be helpful for lower level performers, once an athlete gets to a more advanced level of performance, drills lose their luster, and we must become more attuned to the actual interaction between the athlete and their environment (implements, the ground, gravity, etc.). On the show today, Kibwé talks about his experiences as an athlete, particularly with Dr. Bondarchuk that helped him develop as a thrower, and in his eventual career as a coach.  He talks about the unique, high velocity and cyclical elements of the hammer that demand a particular relationship to the instrument, and things we can take from this relationship that can transfer to other skills, or life itself.  Finally, Kibwe speaks extensively about drills, vs. holistic skill performance, and the many “subtle” elements, such as awareness, that go into enhancing holistic performance on the highest levels.

Timestamps and Main Points 6:40 – Kibwé's evolution as an athlete, and what led him to his philosophy of “The Tao of the Hammer” 10:25 – Kibwé's experience in working with Dr. Bondarchuk and how the communication barrier actually helped Kibwé to figure out his throw without the use of words or cues 18:20 – How the hammer throw in track and field is unique in respect to other throwing events due to its unique, very high velocity rotational dynamics 21:10 – Kibwé's take on teaching athlete's fundamental positions vs. letting them figure out skills in a different manner (or on their own), particularly in context of the hammer throw 26:40 – How acquiring the “feeling” of a good throw is helpful to scale to throws of all distances 32:25 – How people tend to want a “list of things” when doing something, and the battle of getting an athlete outside of a list of cues, and to facilitate them figuring things out on their own 34:40 – How to learn, from a “Tao of the Hammer” perspective, and what awareness in a hammer throw means to Kibwé 46:40 – Examples of elite athletes who have had their mechanics “fixed”, as per a “technical model” and had poor seasons or failed to improve 51:25 – How Kibwé would address a “mistake” in an athlete's throwing, and portions of an athlete's technique 56:40 – Where drills fall short in training a complex movement, such as the hammer throw 1:02:40 – Reactivity as needed between the hammer and the athlete, and how to “do less” in the course of a throw from a perspective of actively putting force into the implement “It really came down to trying to find the words to explain how I was feeling when I felt my best; because I w...

Today’s episode features sports performance coaches Jake Jensen and Jeff Moyer.  Jake and Jeff are unique in that they are in-the-trenches coaches who are personally familiar with the work of two legendary coaches and researchers in the field, Dr. Michael Yessis and Dr. Anatoliy Bondarchuk.  Jeff is the owner of DC Sports Training while Jake works as the head strength coach for a professional hockey team in Berlin, Germany. The training methodology of Anatoliy Bondarchuk in particular has caused some waves in the field in the last few years, but the issue with his system is really the fact that Dr. Bondarchuk coached track and field throwers, where team sports have a lot more complexity in terms of the progression of different skills within that sport, let alone team tactics, strategy, and winning! If you listen to this podcast, there is a good chance that you care much more than simply getting athletes stronger in some familiar barbell lifts and saying you did your job.  As sports performance coaches, we strive to get athletes better at , well, sports! By blending the ideals of Dr. Bondarchuk in terms of training organization and adaptation, and looking at the special exercise battery of Dr. Yessis, we have some formidable weapons in helping athletes reach their highest potential.  This is where Jake and Jeff have done tremendous work in pushing the field forward (check out their recent article on the topic for Just Fly Sports)in regards to maximizing training transfer for a spectrum of athletes. On today’s episode, Jake and Jeff cover the role of general strength development within the scopes of the Bondarchuk and Yessis systems, and then go in detail on how the “SDE” category of the Bondarchuk system can be adapted for team sport performance.   This is a forward thinking episode that is setting a precedent for the impact of a sports performance coach, as well as thought provoking for coaches of any sport. Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more.   Key Points: Jake and Jeff’s backgrounds The role of general strength development and 1-rep maxes in the Bondarchuk and Yessis training systems What to make of the “things in the middle” of the Bondarchuk pyramid, such as special strength, and if it could possibly be done without How to track key performance indicators (or SDE’s) for team sport performance How many workouts Jake and Jeff put in a training cycle given the Bondarchuk principles and adaptation types How to monitor when an athlete adapts to a training cycle and when to change exercises for non-throwing/track athletes Quotes: “There is a lot of technique that goes into being able to lift heavy weight for a single.  For an athlete who plays a team sport, as a strength coach, I have to ask myself, how much time do I want to spend teaching this guy how to brace through an 8 second grinder for a squat” “Dealing with Doc, we never did anything under 8 reps (in the weightroom) but those 8 reps were as heavy as you can get” “The thing people have to remember about Anatoli Bondarchuk is he’s done everything.   There are a lot of instances where he uses max effort, 110% squats” “In some applications, super heavy-ass squatting… nasty, raw strength is very important” “It’s hard to learn with max intensity lifting” “By the time we get down to the 8’s, (in the 1x20 system) we are doing some heavy isometrics as well” “What’s wrong with powerlifting today…. too many of these kids won’t lift over 10 reps” “Anything that is special developmental (in the Bondarchuk system) has to involve tactics for team sports” “We are doing some kind of jumping (to track adaptation and what type of adapter the athlete is)” “If you are going to get to know your athletes better, you should have a system in place”

Today’s episode features track and field coach, and training organization expert Derek Evely.  Derek made his original appearance on episode #43 of the podcast where he spoke extensively on the core principles of the Bondarchuk training system, and how it’s ideas it can be applied into sprint training.  Derek is back now, talking on many more facets of the system, particularly in terms of understanding and tracking adaptation and exercise variation, which are two absolutely critical training variables when dealing with advanced athletes. The Bondarchuk training system was invented, of course, by Anatoliy Bondarchuk, and has yielded the most consistent Olymic medal sweeps (in the hammer throw) by any country in history.  The core of the training system is doing the same exact workout or workouts (composed of a specific exercise, CE, a special strength exercise, SDE a strength movement using the same prime muscles, SPE, and then basic general exercises that incorporate multiple planes of movement, GPE), and repeating that until an athlete reaches their peak performance with that “exercise set”.   In this manner, many variables, such as the weight on the bar each day, are fixed, so that the effectiveness of each component of the cycle can be monitored as much as possible in terms of its contribution to the athletes adaptation. Derek is a true master of training organization, and is considered by many to be the best in the world.   He has trained world-class athletes such as Sultana Frizell, Dylan Armstrong and Gary Reed, and has the real-world success to go alongside his knowledge gained from experience and the practices of other world class coaches.  On the podcast today, we’ll talk about delayed transformation, the role of variation in producing overload, creating an optimal peaking cycle, and also a great discussion on the “parts” system, or complex training, in eliciting training gains out of already advanced athletes. Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more.   Key Points: Derek’s recent happenings and his new Bondarchuk inspired training course Timing and sequence and interchange of maximal strength building and movement focused training Ideas on delayed transformation based on intentional overtraining The use of variation in producing overload and adaptation on the athlete How to decide emphasis on strength, etc. in each training season Going “Heavy to Light” or “Light to Heavy” in weight training How to gather information from the yearly training plan and write a championship cycle for best results” The “parts” program of the Bondarchuk system The value of keeping the barbell weight the same across a training cycle Quotes: “In every microcycle, you need to be working on all four exercise classifications” “This is one of the big myths with Bondarchuk is that he is a non-beleiver in maximal strength” “To me the issue really comes down to black and white thinking (in regards to maximal strength)” “There are sports where you have no choice (in terms of utilizing delayed transformation and a large maximal strength oriented training block)” “You have to be careful making assumptions about guys hearing rumors about their training programs” “When you are doing the Bondarchuk system with a new athlete, it takes a leap of faith on their part” “Probably the most difficult part of the Bondarchuk system to get my head around, and the last part I figured out was the rest cycles, because that has a huge impact on things” “The amount of detraining that happens before you start the cycle has an impact on which of the reactions you are going to be (when you go through the developmental cycle)” “You have to appreciate the impact that variation and change has on how an athlete reacts to training across the board”

Some issues arise from long-term life stuff (most people don’t have 12 weeks of their immediate life planned out) Research is lacking to show that current periodization is best Is the one group that was on the periodization model stronger because of the periodization model or because of the novel training stimulus Studies are short term Long term multi-year studies aren’t practical Group based (focused on averages) Mostly untrained (or nearly untrained) subjects Generic science problems Lack of replication, lack of negative publication BIGGEST issue - Over-concluding   Logical roots of Periodization Soviets impose top-down models on everything and they can grind through hundreds of athletes to find a few dozen that the model worked well on Where to go from here: The process is more important than the plan, the plan will break you as a coach need to adapt and change How do you solve these problems? How would you train if you never heard of periodization? Simplify! Remove as many variables as you can Assess what works and what doesn’t Utilize a bottom-up process instead of a top-down   Anatoliy Bondarchuk, most successful throws coach in terms of number of Olympic gold medals. Bottom up system of coaching can be credited to Bondarchuk.   What does it look like? A framework for implementing a bottom-up approach Remove a lot of assumptions Use systems to monitor training Use contingency planning to deal with emerging information Non-response, peaking too early,k peaking too late, building a catalog of effective methods, etc Get fairly uninterested in long term planning (at least until you know the athlete quite well) Practical analysis Build a microcycle of training (development cycle). Repeat it. Monitor the results. Repeat Track time to peak TTP should be similar for all lifts First block gets taken too far just to see reaction After determining TTP, incorporate deload session unless near a meet (usually ¼ the length of TTP) Requires tracking of each workout and communication between lifter and coach   QUESTIONS - How many athletes did you have to test to get the three TTP values How many micro-cycles do you write up and what do you change Do you follow the specificity principle when changing the exercises - less variance on the big three as you get closer to the meet How long does it take to get the micro-cycles correct? A few months? Are you hoping to be able to compare this approach to historical gains from top-down periodization If you are an individual lifter without a coach, prioritize what should be focused on when changing parts of a program and how long you should tinker with these variables before making a judgement that this change was good or bad. Can you do this type approach as an individual lifter, what would it take? Have the coaches at RTS determine the best things to change vs what things tend not to work with changing? Measure e1RM when u start and end the block From Everett - are you moving to equipped lifting

Today’s episode features Alex Natera, Senior Athletic Performance Specialist at the GWS Giants.  Alex has over twenty years of experience in high performance sport including time spent as a professional sportsman, a technical coach, a sport science lecturer, a published scientific researcher and his primary role as strength & conditioning coach.   Prior to the Giants, Alex was the Senior S&C Coach of Aspire Academy Athletics specializing in the sprint events.  Alex has extensive work with the physical preparation of track and field athletes.  He also has worked as a Rugby head coach, and has done physical preparation for over a dozen Olympic and Commonwealth games sports.  Alex is currently completing his PhD from Bond University where he is investigating a novel aspect of power development, high volume power training and repeat power ability. I first heard of Alex on the Historic Performance Podcast, and was truly intrigued by Alex’s way of thinking, which centered on using a series of maximal, specific isometric holds for speed development, and whereby his athletes were having great progressions in their overall training.  I had never seen or heard of isometrics being used in such a manner for the training of track and field sprinters, and digging deeper, connected with Alex and in our correspondence, he put together one of the greatest Q&A pieces that Just Fly Sports has put out.  Many months after its debut, it still continues to get likes and shares on social media.   Not only are Alex’s isometric methods different, but they get results.  His methods also make sense.  If you have followed the training ideals of Christian Thibaudeau, Anatoliy Bondarchuk, Michael Yessis, Cal Dietz, Bret Contreras, and DB Hammer and put them together in a simple way that helped to get sprinters maximally fast, then you would have the system of Alex Natera.   Today’s podcast was designed as a follow up to his article, and we dig into Alex’s background as an athlete, coach, and how he created his system of specialized strength training for speed and its progression.  We will get into questions and ideas of supramaximal and isometric strength training, combining isometrics with plyometric training, specialized exercises for building speed, yearly progressions, and more.   Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more.   Key Points: Alex’s background as an athlete Alex’s background in experimenting with isometric training and progressing it over the years Specific case studies in isometric training and improved sprint speed Combining isometrics with plyometrics Utilizing and progressing supramaximal strength training for speed-seeking athletes Knee vs. Hip and Ankle dominant supramaximal work Alex’s top 3 exercises for improving athletic speed Yearly progressions for more advanced sprint athletes Quotes “Why, when I’m learning about muscle actions, do we only develop the concentric action?” “If we are testing in the (mid-thigh isometric pull) environment, why aren’t we training in that environment as well?” “There is not a lot of research there in regards to isometric training for running” “A great muscle action with poor tendon ability and coordination is only going to take you so far, I always combine my plyometrics and isometric together” “Integration of isometrics training in off-season and preseason periods for speed enhancement” “After the season, I’ll get into my eccentric work straightaway.  Supramaximal eccentrics, depending on the athlete, will stay in up to 12 weeks” “If you’ve got a 1RM and you put 110% and they cannot control that whatsoever, they are not ready for eccentric work, so just keep working them concentrically” “(regarding supramaximal training) We have got to remember that the tendons take a lot longer to adapt… the longer we ...
