It was my pleasure to be joined by Brandon Senn of Kabuki Strength on this episode. Brandon is a fountain of knowledge particularly in the strength / movement world. We dive into How and what strength athletes can do better in there training, and some simple things that can be used to test these things out. I found this episode tremendously insightful, and I can't recommend the Kabuki Virtual Training page on instagram highly enough.

Brandon Senn, Head Coach at Kabuki Strength, joins the show today to talk about his path to powerlifting, powerlifting coaching, the use of velocity based training, Kabuki Strength equipment, and his philosophies on programming. Brandon found his way to the fitness realm after he realized that he no longer had the athletic prowess to continue playing sports after high school. As someone who loves to stay active, he started lifting weights with a focus on aesthetics, but quickly fell in love with lifting to get strong. Brandon became the Head Strength Coach at Kabuki Strength in 2015 and has since built a stable of impressive lifters. We kick things off discussing Kabuki’s history with velocity based training. Brandon started implementing these methods into his coaching practice around 2014. He believes when it comes to sports tech, you need to stick to just one platform for your clients in order to keep adherence acceptable. Something like the GymAware is a nice tool in this regard because it is simply present during a training session. Overall, these devices provide very actionable data because they keep you competing against yourself every single session, take away the burden of judging RPE or RIR, and most importantly give you objective performance measurements. Kabuki Strength uses velocity profiles for clients in order to look at how fast each percentage of a 1RM should be moving. This keeps their athletes working harder while maintaining the intent for the session. Next, we switch gears and discuss how Kabuki implements different equipment into their training. A large portion of Kabuki’s business is equipment sales, including the Transformer Bar, Duffalo Bar, loadable mason, and many others. Most of the equipment includes slight adjustments from basic equipment that can make a massive difference, and particularly give an advantage based on biomechanics. We discuss the Transformer Bar specifically, and how for non-powerlifters it makes much more sense to load more strategically and continue to train hard without as much wear and tear on the body. Lastly, we jam on Brandon’s process for onboarding new athletes and what that process includes. He starts with an athlete profile that collects basic information such as the client’s goals, available equipment, and schedule. He then hops on a phone call to discuss their answers more in depth, and get to know the athlete better. Brandon looks at what they can commit to and tries to maximize the amount of work they can do throughout the week. He aims to keep the core contents consistent and can make adjustments around that. Most importantly, he aims not to overplan and thus isn’t resistant to make changes to what isn’t working. We then dive in a little deeper on ideal splits and layouts Brandon uses for his clients, including his thoughts on training frequency.

Grant and Heavey are joined by Brandon Senn and Brady Cable from Kabuki Strength in Portland, Oregon. They're in the business of teaching people how to create tension and to ultimately move their bodies better against resistance. This skill is applicable to virtually every single sport.
The folks at Kabuki Strength spend a lot of time getting people to roll around on the ground like babies. And I like that. I recently attended the Kabuki Movement Systems course, and I found it to be quite valuable - and I also really enjoy going to courses outside of my comfort zone (I am definitely not a powerlifter). I've done a lot of similar continuing education as the Kabuki folks in the physical therapy realm, so seeing how they apply their takeaways to their sport as illuminating. And, we of course got to discuss and joke about the consistent "point missing" that most folks have with regards to movement practice Check out more from Brady, Brandon and Kabuki Strength Instagram: @kabukistrengthlab//@brandon_senn//@brady_cable Website: Kabuki Strength YouTube: Kabuki Strength YouTube If you're enjoying the show, why not a leave a review?

Travis Mash is our guest today, and like most guests on our show, he hardly needs an introduction! Travis is one of the most recognized olympic weightlifting coaches in the world, as well as an accomplished lifter himself having broken Ed Coan's all-time pound-for-pound total record in powerlifting. He owns Mash Elite Performance in North Carolina where he coaches elite level athletes and lifters into world champions. On today's episode our hosts Brady Cable and Brandon Senn discuss Travis' new book on VBT, training principles, lifting culture, and the philosophy of training among other excellent topics! Enjoy!
To fans of VBT, Dr. Mann should need no introduction! He is an educator and researcher pioneering our understanding and application of velocity based training methodologies. This episode is near and dear to our hearts here at Kabuki Strength, as our very own host and head coach Brandon Senn is also currently working with athletes and using velocity as a training variable in their programming. Tune in an listen to a lively and nerdy discussion on the implications of velocity in strength sports and sports in general from a leading subject matter expert.
