Podcast appearances and mentions of martin bingisser

In this episode I am delighted to be joined by Martin Bingisser. Martin is very well known in strength and conditioning and track and field circles. He is a former world class hammer thrower, is now a very highly respected hammer throwing coach, and works with a variety of sports in strength and conditioning. There are many parallels between developing the ability to throw far and swing fast and the goal of this episode was to learn as much from Martin as we could!

For many strength coaches, the warmup is the best weapon they have. It's a dedicated time each day to work with athletes, whether they make it in the weight room or not. But to really get the most out of it, you have to have a plan to allow you to use the time effectively, build athlete buy in, and gain the confidence of the coaching staff. On this week's episode Rett Larson joins us to share his plan and philosophy of warming up based on his experience in the Olympic volleyball world.

I have the pleasure of being joined by Martin Bingisser in this episode. Martin holds several positions including National Hammer Throw coach for Swiss Athletics, Throws coach for LC Zürich and Fitness coach for GC Zürich Rugby. He has also worked with USATF, UK Athletics, Scottish Athletics, European Athletics Coaches Association. As an athlete, Martin reached 21st place at the 2014 European Championships and is a 9-time Swiss national champion for hammer throw. Martin is also founder of HMMR Media, a fantastic coaching resource covering a variety of sports and he has written a book called Training Talk: Conversations with a Dozen Master Coaches - a fantastic read in which Martin sits down with twelve top coaches from track and field, soccer, football, and rugby to share best practices and synthesise what the best do to be so successful. And it's this book we mainly focus, discussing Martin's experiences as a coach and an athlete. We speak about having a work-life balance; the role of confidence in sport psychology; getting feedback from athletes; helping athletes reflect; flow state and the importance of self-improvement as a coach.

“That’s the one thing that’s the killer, if you’re athletes get injured it’s not just one step back it’s two-three steps back. A lot of times that can come from overloading athletes or putting to much emphasis on max strength. I think max strength plays a role, it plays a role in every sport, but it’s not that difficult to get, especially over the long term.” Today I have to pleasure of talking training with Martin Bingisser. After a brief intro Martin shares with us his latest project, and that’s training Rugby athletes. We start out discussing his role with the club and some unique challenges it provides. He then shares with us how his work with Bondarchuck impacts how he’s looking at the training, where Anatoliy’s “stuff” fits and where there are challenges in connecting those dots in team sports. Martin then dives into his ideas as it relates to injury prevention/reduction and how important that is in development. Martin then flips the script and talks about how his work in rugby has impacted him as a throws coach and lessons he’s brought back to the circle, and where autonomy with his athletes has helped in both realms. We then talk about his book, the motivation behind it, and what people can expect when they pick it up, and how his stuff at HMMR has changed as he has evolved as a coach. We finish off with a back and fourth on how the podcasts have challenged us to be better.

Springtime means baseball and on this episode we look specifically at the conditioning needs of pitchers. Pitching is an extremely fast and explosive movement that has unique conditioning demands, yet most conditioning programs are based on tradition rather than being optimized to the needs of the players.

Finding transfer can be a difficult task in field sports, where "performance" is a difficult concept to quantify. But just because it may be difficult to find doesn't mean the search is fruitless. Mark Bennett joins English Rugby this summer as the head of sports science. He joins the podcast this week to discuss where his search for transfer has taken him over the course of his career as a player, coach, and sports scientist.

The old saying goes that belief in a bad plan will be more effective than doubt in a good plan. The reason this saying lives on is because it is true: buy-in is one of the most critical factors in training. And while coaches often discuss it, rarely do they get down to the gritty details of how to actually establish it. On this week's episode we look at building buy in and some thoughts spurred by Brett Bartholomew's new book Conscious Coaching: The Art and Science of Building Buy-In.

Modern sports have a team of coaches behind each athlete. The support staff can add value to a team, but they can also detract from the team if not properly integrated. Physiologist Steve Ingham has served in a variety of senior national roles in the UK. Throughout a career of assisting world-class athletes he has learned how to build a performance team and how support coaches can best support athletes. On this week's episode we discuss some lessons Ingham has learned in this area. For links and more information about this topic, read the complete show notes at: http://www.hmmrmedia.com/2017/05/gaincast-episode-61-supporting-champions-with-steve-ingham/ Want to learn more? John Kiely and Martin Bingisser will lead our upcoming seminar in London on May 20.

It has been two years since we started the HMMR Podcast and for our 100th episode we decided to switch things up a little. Rather than discuss training, we've invited on previous guests Dan Pfaff, Gary Winckler, Derek Evely, and Glenn McAtee to discuss some of the passions that drive outside of coaching as well as how that might connect to coaching.

With drafts for many professional sports taking place in the coming months for professional sports leagues in North America, it is a good time to take a look at how we evaluate players.

At the end of day, training comes down to a few core principles. Yet the complexity of the human body often cause us to lose focus of this and make training more complex than it needs to be in many cases.

Speed is key in every sport, but not all speed is created equal. In many sports, maximum speed is not the game changer. Instead, it is how fast you can respond to the opponent, change direction, and get moving again. In other words, multi-directional speed is often more important than linear speed. On this episode of the podcast professor Ken Clark explains the three elements of multi-directional speed, how it differs from other types of speed, and strategies to improve it.

Variation is a core training concept, but we tend to think of it as a way to avoid accommodation. What if it is more? What if it is a tool to drive you forward? Few coaches thing about how to use change strategically over the long-term and on this week's episode we take an in depth look at some concepts related to change with guest Derek Evely.

Our guest for this week’s episode is Nick Garcia, strength and throws coach for Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, CA.  Nick is also part of the HMMR Media Podcast along with Martin Bingisser which hosts many thought leaders in sport science. This article is brought to you by Train Heroic (www.trainheroic.com), which is the athlete management platform I use for all of my online client training, as well as my online training groups, such as “Legendary Athleticism”. I’m excited to have Nick on the show because of his experience as a traditional strength coach, throws coach, and a Bondarchuk method user.  Coaches are often intrigued by the Bondarchuk method, as it has yielded such incredible results in the realm of the throws, but there is a lot of confusion as to how its principles might actually carry over into all other training systems. Nick is a great guy to talk to in this regard, as on this podcast, we go over many of the ideas that Bondarchuk had that can filter to training any event, as well as case studies in regards to related concepts, such as delayed transformation, “lag” of peak performance in Bondarchuk vs. traditional training, velocity based work, and more. If you aren’t familiar with the Bondarchuk style of training, you can check out more about it by checking out this series by Martin Bingisser on 8-Weeks Out. I’ll do a quick explanation of the Bondarchuk system as well here: The core of the Bondarchuk system is doing one (although some coaches will alternate 2 or possibly 3) workout, repeatedly, tracking the result of the “CE” or competitive exercise (such as hammer throw distance), until an athlete “adapts” by increasing to their highest peak in CE performance.  Athletes will typically require 20-40 training sessions of the same type before they reach their highest adaptation of the cycle, at which point, the cycle is ended.  Each athlete has their own consistent, individual reaction. The Bondarchuk system also utilizes a “Vertical Integration” system, where the whole spectrum of athletic qualities (Competitive exercise, special exercises, weightlifting, and circuit style strength) is trained in tandem throughout the year.  A sample training day could look something like this: Warmup Shot Put Throw 25 Throws Medicine Ball Special Throw 5x10 Clean 5 x 3-5 reps @ 65-70% ½ Squat 5 x 3-5 reps @ 65-70% Fitness Circuit (4 exercises) 3x10 reps This workout would then be repeated until an athlete adapted to the training. Quite simply, the Bondarchuk system uses exercises in a vertical integration manner, has a repetitive, simple planning scheme, and relies on the individual adaptation pattern of each athlete.  Key Points Nick’s thoughts on the black and white nature of utilizing the Bondarchuk method. Bondarchuk’s GPE circuit, and it’s influence on Nick’s use of core circuit workout finishers The effects of strength gain in the Bondarchuk system vs. traditional programming Management of the CNS in traditional style programming through Nick’s 4 week cycle formatting The timing of adaptation in deloading in Traditional lifting vs. the Bondarchuk model Delayed transformation of maximal strength to best throws/speed-strength performance in traditional training vs. Bondarchuk model Velocity based training, and it’s carryover to throws training and the Bondarchuk model The role of max strength in traditional powerlifting movements vs. specific and high velocity training methods How Nick sets his barbell weights at the beginning of each training cycle, based on velocity based training, and assumed improvement of bar speeds over the course of the training cycle How to use VBT in conjunction with a portal system to determine athletic readiness The role of bands and chains in traditional training, as well as the Bondarchuk system, and why not to use them for specific developmental exercises

You look around social media and you will instantly see athletes and coaches sharing their latest greatest exercises. These exercises become the focus and whole programs are developed around them. But training is not just about the exercises; they are the means, not the end. On this episode of the GAINcast Vern discusses why training is about more than the exercise. For more information about this topic, read the complete show notes at: http://www.hmmrmedia.com/2016/05/gaincast-episode-15-more-than-the-exercise/ This episode if brought to you by GAIN (www.thegainnetwork.com) and HMMR Media (www.hmmrmedia.com).

We need a revolution. We are involved with developing athletes, yet so many people are focused the qualities in our job titles: strength and conditioning. No single component of conditioning can be solely responsible for the athletic development of any team or individual. On this episode Vern makes the case for why we need to redefine our profession.

Developing high-level performance is not an easy thing. There's a hugely complex mess of factors and science has taken a simplistic approach that, in the end, does not always provide us with the answers we need and we are left to fill in the gap ourselves. In light of our upcoming seminar with John Kiely, on this episode we sit down with Kiely to discuss one of the topics he will be presenting on: what are the mental biases we confront when trying to fill the gaps. For more on this topic, check out our complete show notes at: http://www.hmmrmedia.com/2016/05/hmmr-podcast-episode-48-mental-biases-with-john-kiely/ If you want to learn more, don't miss out on our upcoming seminar in Ireland with John Kiely and Martin Bingisser on May 14.

Ever since athletes began strength training, coaches have been debating the role of strength in training. The questions come back over and over: What is strong? How much should we train strength? How strong do we need to be? On this week's episode of the GAINcast Vern takes a look at this topic and provides some guidelines coaches can use to implement a balanced approach to strength training in their plans. For more information about this topic, read the complete show notes at: http://www.hmmrmedia.com/2016/04/gaincast-episode-10-what-is-strong/ This episode if brought to you by GAIN (www.thegainnetwork.com) and HMMR Media (www.hmmrmedia.com).
