He also is the Co-Founder of Upper Echelon Nutrition, an all-natural, research-based supplement company for athletes. Additionally, he is a co-creator and contributor to The EdgeU, which is an educational platform for coaches, trainers, therapists, and athletes. This episode highlights some of Max's thought processes when he is tasked with designing a training plan for a basketball player. He touched on how he views movement, the weight room, and how he likes to approach setting up a training day with an athlete. Further, we discussed what he thinks is an appropriate viewpoint on merging skill development with a training program for a basketball player based on that player's true needs and how to optimize that player's role and performance. We also touched on the business side of things, and some advice he has to trainers looking to create an online presence, diversify their potential income, and other key tips that he wished he knew when starting out.

Max Schmarzo is one of the most intelligent individuals I know of, he has been a massive resource in my education. Between other podcasts he's been on, his own podcast, his instagram, his educational platform EdgeU and every other platform he's on. He's one of if not the goat within the performance world (IMO).Max is a machine, he brings so much knowledge to every conversation and the best part is that he can talk about some of the most complicated concepts and make it so easy to understand. That's a testament to his knowledge.In this episode we talk about the Bayesian Brain, and how our experiences (output) affect how we are as people and athletes (input). He gives great examples and makes it extremely consumableWe then talk about skill acquisition, blocked versus random practice and why using Kobe or MJ may not be the best examples to look at when talking about skill development Lastly we talk a little about performance, I will be getting Max on for a part 2 discussing more performance based stuff.Check out Max:IG - https://www.instagram.com/strong_by_science/EdgeU - https://edgeu.passion.io/learn/productsUEN (Nutritional Products) - https://uenutrition.com/

This weeks episode is one of the most informative we've had yet! Max is a super smart guy and we were pumped to get some of our own questions answered by him and really just "talk shop". IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: Mitch- What does “strong by science” mean to you and why did you choose that as your brand? Zach- my background for sports was as a triple and long jumper. I spend over a decade training plyos heavily. Over time it became harder to continue that training due to injury. How do you Program plyometrics? How do you balance joint loading with training? Mitch- I wanna talk about Sport specific movements vs. just building overall strength. On one side we have people trying to make everything as sport specific as possible, on the other we have the argument that overall strength transfers no matter what. What is your take and how do you program based on this? Zach- when I was training for track I was all about moving at the speed at which I was going to be competing you always drove me crazy when coaches wouldn't have us go full speed until the week before our first meet. Thoughts on train slow move slow? Should power athletes improve their aerobic system even if it means moving slow? Mitch- What are 3 things top-tier athletes do in their training that’s different than those that don’t make it or are mediocre? Essentially, what should athletes listening start doing? Zach- my philosophy on training has changed quite a bit over time as I have been a physical therapist. You talked about your framework, do you have any over arching philosophies or principals some one can take away from this about training today? Mitch- We’ve heard you talk about adaptive currency, tell us about that and how can someone know where they’re at?

Today’s episode features sport scientist Max Schmarzo. Max is the director of sport science at Resilience Code and the chief science officer at Exsurgo Technologies. Many of you may know him by his Instagram handle @strong_by_science where Max posts a variety of practical and scientific information that has garnered a large following. Max is one of the smartest young coaches I know, and I am constantly blown away by the breadth and detail of his knowledge. If you want to get into the nuts and bolts of human performance, Max is a go-to guy to talk to. Not only is Max well versed in many facets of strength and conditioning, but he also has education as an athletic trainer, and has deep knowledge of holistic markers of human performance in fields such as functional medicine. Today our theme is the holistic adaptation of the body to stress. When it comes to getting results, having a good grasp on things that can make or break one’s strength and performance gains, or predispose one to injury can create a broader vision of if one’s strength program is actually effective, or if lifestyle, nutrition and general stress needs to be considered. On today’s show, Max and I are chatting about these adaptive processes, the different effects of recovery modalities, nutrition and it’s impact on training decisions, the adaptation of tendons, inflammation and its role in training, 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: How the body adapts to stress on a muscular and cellular level How the gut impacts an athletes response to training How imprecise the general term “recovery” is, and how different modalities can have very different responses How caloric deficit and nutrition can impact the type of “recovery day” an athlete should perform The “anti-virus” effect of general strength work to mitigate a large quantity of specific strength training Concepts for training tendons, and inherent differences versus training muscles Quotes: “People call desensitization to epinephrine central nervous system fatigue” “If I don’t understand my athlete’s adaptive capacity…. how could I blame myself (as a coach creating a program), if I’m not turning over other things to look at” “If an individual is susceptible to eating (bad carbs) sometimes it’s best to remove all carbs, then reintroduce good carbs to build a good base” “You don’t get to wreck your muscles and have your blood pressure not change” “If I sit in cryotherapy, I have a blunting in the inflammatory response… so I could be blunting the muscle adaptations that may occur” “Performance and longevity do not go hand in hand” “When you are doing something specific, there is only so much room to do something specific” “A tendon doesn’t look like or adapt like a muscle” About Max Schmarzo Max Schmarzo is the Director of Sport Science at Resilience Code, in Englewood, Colorado. He is the Chief Science Officer at Exsurgo Technologies and the founder of Strong by Science. He has authored two books, "Applied Principles of Power Development" and "Isometrics for Performance".

He has written two books, "Applied Principles of Optimal Power Development" and "Isometrics for Performance". On this episode the 3 of us discuss: Matt and Max's background and influences We get into an indepth discussion around the guys book - Isometrics for Performance I ask the guys - how much of an influence was Frans Bosch's work was on their book I ask the guys to layout the different types of isometrics described in the book I ask the guys about how isometrics can be used to improve local metabolite buffering within a target muscle I ask the guys about how they use isometrics with beginners The guys talk about how isometrics are a powerful means to increase tendon robutness I ask the guys - what do they think is the mechanism behind the performance benefits of long-duration isometrics? I ask the guys to disccuss why an increase in catecholamine release from isometrics can be beneficial? I ask the guys - how do they measure the actual work being done with isometric actions? I ask the guys about the structural, neural, and metabolic adaptations from isometrics Here the guys talk about some really interesting adaptation that isometrics can have on hypertrophy and tendon properties (i.e. tendon stiffness) We get into an indepth discussion on isometrics and tendon adaptations Here the guys talk about how isometrics seem to impact more of the tendon architecture vs tendon CSA (hypertrophy) The guys also talk about about how isometrics can improve a tendons the rate of force moreso then its magnitude I ask the guys about isometrics beneficial use when dealing with pain and in early rehabilitation I ask the guys about using isometrics to re-educate the body to express maximal-voluntary-contractions (MVC) The guys talk further about about how isometrics can improve the rate of force transmission (RFT) of tendon's moreso than the magnitude of force/ rate of force development (RFD) We speak about how you could possibly use jump profling to determine if you should do more rate or magnitude contraction work on a given day The guys talk about their use of APRE when prescribing the use isometrics We speak about how elite athletes are superior at relaxing their muscles as well aa contracting them - Max claims he found research in translated Russian sport science book to support this claim I ask the guys who have been their biggest influences I ask the guys to give their life advice to the listeners I ask the guys, if they could invite 5 people to dinner, dead or alive, who would they invite and why?

Today’s guest is Justin Moore, performance education coordinater at Parabolic Performance & Rehabilitation. We’ve had some prodigious young coaches on this show, such as Matt Van Dyke, Cameron Josse, and Max Schmarzo, and Justin is no exception to that rule. I first came across Justin’s work on Darkside Strength, and it has been one of my top resources this past year in terms of applying Postural Restoration (PRI) Institute principles into my strength and conditioning practice. For those not familiar with PRI, it is a way of looking at the body from a standpoint of respiration, and its impact on joint position. I’ve found over the years that athletes who tend to thrive more, as they gain weight room strength, in terms of their performance in track, or swimming, are those who have alignments that are closer to optimal. Athletes who have poor position of the thorax will generally hit glass ceilings of their sport performance, or even go backwards when heavily loaded over time. In my mind, those coaches that are integrating PRI into strength and conditioning based practice are pushing the industry forward in a big way, and can help all of us give our athletes the positioning, and subsequent training they need to reach their highest level, and prevent injury in the process. Today on the podcast, Justin shares his knowledge on PRI principles, cueing strategies, squat and deadlift sequencing, the role of the hamstrings in lifting, and much 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: Justin’s background as an athlete and coach, as well as his mentors in the field How PRI principles have had an impact on Justin’s coaching, alignment and posture of the axial skeleton, length-tensioning of muscle, tri-planar movement, respiration and variability Utilization of PRI and movement based system and internal vs. external cueing Deadlift sequencing based on PRI principles Squat sequencing based on PRI principles The role of the hamstrings in an athletic squat Bands and their use in creating external rotation in squatting Quotes “PRI has given me a lens by which to view all movement with a more discerning eye” “The cranium, the ribcage, the pelvis and the spine; they set the foundation by which I can express strength through the appendicular skeleton” “A lot of times, we get caught up looking at the motion of limbs without appreciation for the foundation for them” “A muscle is going to contract and produce force optimally at its resting length” “Everything we do comes back to gait” “Variability is having options, more of it is not necessarily better, if we are talking about a powerlifter of a 100m sprinter, those people should not have a ton of variability” “If you are unable to manage the sagittal plane, your variability is going to be limited” “A deadlift should be a lower body exercise, it should be a trunk stability exercise with range of motion through the limbs and through the lower body, and strength and power being developed in the pushing muscles of our lower body” “Think of knees going forward as limbs reaching” “If my squat ends up looking exactly like the torso position of my deadlift, then I really don’t consider that a squat” “(in a squat) There is no initiation of hips first, or knees first, they both go at the same time” “If I keep active abs and I keep active, eccentriccaly lengthening hamstrings, in a squat, then I have a chance to get my pelvic floor under my rib cage, and I have a chance to drive it up with my hamstrings, glutes and quads, rather than just my back and quads” “External rotation is going to be coupled with extension and abduction” “We need internal rotation of the hip to squat’ “Internal rotation and valgus are not the same” About Justin Moore
Today we are joined by Stanford University’s, and Strong By Science’s Max Schmarzo to discuss the world of applied sports science. Max starts out by sharing with us what his role is at Stanford, and how he got there. Next, he gives a step by step walk through on the process off how they develop the protocols they implement with the student athlete’s they work with and the collaborative effort it is across multiple disciplines within the department drives the questions that they are attempting to help answer. We then get into the role of education, collaboration across lines, and how teaching and learning from other performance based professions is important to what they’re trying to build in Palo Alto. We finish out talking about SBS, how its inception came about, it’s role, and what he’s trying to accomplish with it.

Today’s guests are Matt Van Dyke and Max Schmarzo, and we’ll be chatting in depth on the concepts of building athletic power, specifically on controversial topics, such as: The utilization of isometrics in power development Ranges of motion in basic lifts Period of the training year devoted to power and complex training Maximal intent and velocity based training And more Matt Van Dyke has appeared before on the podcast with an amazing segment on his glute layering protocols and multi-planar training ideals. He also has written a great article on autoregulated in-season training and is one of the brightest young coaches in the field. Max Schmarzo is the owner of Strong By Science, where he is an active contributor to the field through systems like the force-velocity profile builder, as well as his regular science backed contributions to the often-muddy world of social media. Matt and Max have a new book on training athletic power called “Applied Principles of Optimal Power Development” which is a practical, research backed manual on developing power in athletes. The book was a great read, and the ideas and research within spurred several thought processes on my own end, and methods to utilize this upcoming year with my own teams. I wanted to get these two on the show to take a deep dive into some of the common ideas and concepts with power that are often debated or misunderstood in our field, as well as create a gateway for the explanation of some practical methods and ideals for the use of power building methods, particularly in a large group setting. 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: A general philosophy of strength, power and potentiation Ideas on which proportion of the season to train power and potentiation Advantages of using fuller range of motion vs. more short and specific ranges of motion in light of power Isometrics in terms of potentiation, structural and neural functions Ideals of maximal intent through each lifting repetition Quotes “Strength is going to lay the foundation for power work” “Through a full repetition, you’re only at your maximal intensity at that one point within that lift” “The ability to develop a strength base might best be served using non-specific motor patterns” “If you are pushing your athletes to the point where it’s like you are doing those extended repetitions, there is no way you are producing maximal intent for those first four (out of 8 reps), or those last four” “You are always trying to move whatever load is it as fast as possible” “I like the pulls (for maximal isometrics), they aren’t axially loaded. If you are going to do a squat into a pin, from a coaching standpoint, it makes you nervous” “If my athlete can’t produce that neural output… below 90% of what they are capable of, I might change the workout for the day” “Velocity based training doesn’t mean moving something fast, it is velocity based analysis” “Structural training is very low on neural demand where functional training is high on neural demand. During that functional training that’s where maximal intent plays a large role, because you are not just developing muscle but how you use that muscle in a specific movement” Show Notes Supertraining page 394 has a great listing of the structural and functional aspects of training, as Max mentioned to me after the episode it was a better representation than page 9.
