Today's podcast features Matt Aldred. Matt is the head strength and conditioning coach for basketball at the University of Michigan. He has international expertise and a diverse background in sports he has worked with through his previous stops in NCAA strength and conditioning. In addition to his strength and conditioning experience, he is certified in fascial abrasion technique and Frederick stretch therapy, in addition to a sports massage background. Matt has also co-authored the Fascial Mechanics for Sport course alongside Danny Foley. In building a performance program, it must ultimately be centered around the needs of the athlete. Athletes need to be as ready as possible on game day. Some athletes need more mass and physical strength. Others need more conditioning and body composition management. Others need more fluid and adaptive movement capabilities. Many athletes enjoy and benefit from providing their input into the program. These facets of performance make athletic development more dynamic than just “get them strong and I did my job”. On today's podcast, Matt talks about many aspects of building an athlete-centered program, highlighting training the spectrum of muscular strength and tissue quality, over to dynamic, high-velocity training with a priority on athletic qualities. He also speaks on training variability (such as “every rep different”), multi-planar training, basketball game demands, athlete autonomy, wearable resistance training, and much more. This show puts many pieces into place of a comprehensive approach to athletic development, encompassing so many facets of improvement in the field.

We have to replicate that in the weight room. We can't just be weight and warriors because we've all had that athlete that's super strong and looks amazing. And I'm looking at the opposition team in a warm up going, who is that!? And then they don't play." - Matt Aldred (00:13:50) "The longer I've done this, the more I really lean into an athlete's intuition." - Matt Aldred (00:20:40) "There are certain exercises like a chin-up we're probably going to want to go full range of motion. I want you to hold at the top with Tempo down. But if we're doing a horizontal row, man, I can be elbow wide. I can be really quick reps. I can hold at the top. I can do a split stance with an anchor on a Kaiser pull-down. We can make that horizontal roll whatever we want to do." - Matt Aldred (00:24:29) "I don't think that we put the athlete in the box like no man, like whatever you are, I'll program towards that." - Matt Aldred

Functional Training ist mehr als nur ein Fitness-Trend – es ist eine der effektivsten Trainingsmethoden für mehr Kraft, Beweglichkeit und eine bessere Haltung im Alltag!In dieser Folge erfährst du:✅ Was ist Functional Training wirklich? Warum es nicht nur für Sportler, sondern für jeden sinnvoll ist.✅ Die besten Übungen für Kraft, Stabilität, Explosivität & Beweglichkeit – für Anfänger & Fortgeschrittene.✅ Warum Functional Training die Zukunft des Trainings ist und wie es in Reha, Sport & Fitnessstudios immer mehr an Bedeutung gewinnt.✅ Bekannte Functional Training-Programme & Lizenzmöglichkeiten für Trainer:innen.✅ Warum Functional Training oft mit HIIT kombiniert wird – und wann es auch ohne hohe Intensität sinnvoll ist.

In dieser Folge hinterfragen wir kritisch, was Functional Training wirklich bedeutet und weshalb die verbreitete Definition zu kurz greift. Wir erklären, warum nicht jede spektakuläre Übung automatisch funktionell ist, weshalb isolierte Maschinenübungen oft ihren Zweck verfehlen und wieso die Trainingsziele stets im individuellen Kontext gesehen werden müssen. Erfahre, wie du als Trainerin, Therapeutin oder auch als Trainierende*r Bewegungen sinnvoll auswählst und funktionelles Training wirklich funktionell gestaltest.

Movement, stability, and functional training play a key role in overall health and well-being. Good posture, core strength, and targeted exercises help prevent injuries and improve performance. Regular movement also supports mental health by boosting mood and cognitive function. Small, consistent changes in how the body moves can make a big difference, especially when it comes to easing back pain, improving joint stability, and reducing muscle imbalances.Staying active isn't just about fitness it's essential for everyday life and long-term health. Simple exercises can support everything from posture to recovery after pregnancy. Online programs make it easier to learn proper movement techniques and build healthy habits at any fitness level.

Dom was invited to explain his new formulation, the forthcoming Revive MD Sleep supplement, but as we dive deeper, he continues to greatly impress in this episode. But then it gets even better: Formulating with Feedback from Blood Work We learned that Dominic dives deep into blood work, thanks to his work at the Revive Health clinics, and he now supports many of Raw Nutrition's and Revive MD's ambassadors and sponsored athletes. Through his monitoring of blood work and finding legitimate fixes, he's been able to formulate some incredible supplements that truly move the needle for his athletes, and that expertise now gets passed on to Revive MD consumers.
