I don't tend to use the word "periodizing" for the project of This Is Your Afterlife, but when I ask my guests, "What's your coma?," I'm absolutely "categorizing the past into discrete, quantified, and named blocks of time for the purpose of study or analysis" (thanks, Wikipedia). Periodization is the explicit project of The Return of the 90s: A Cultural History of the Present, a new book edited by Sean O'Brien and TIYA friend Madeline Lane-McKinley. In another two-episode week, I'm talking to them about this cultural criticism project and personalizing it. What world did the 90s leave us with? What do we make of the decade's resurgence? And what does it mean if the world we remember never existed in the first place?First up is Sean's solo episode, in which I roll out the purple carpet to give him the same TIYA treatment Madeline got with her solo episode. Then on Friday, I talk to them both in a more free-form conversation about the book, so stay tuned!We talk: an intro to Marxism, the need for sleep, WIRED magazine, afterlife as anti-work utopia, prostrating at the altar of academia, lessons he learned from watching his mother die with grace.Support the show and get the TIYA After Dark feed on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/thisisyourafterlifeThe Return of the 90s: A Cultural History of the Present:https://www.plutobooks.com/product/the-return-of-the-90s/Follow Sean and find out about book events:https://twitter.com/sean_obeehttps://www.instagram.com/sean_ob/Listen to Sean on Genre Reveal Party!, my movie podcast with Madeline:https://pod.link/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5jYXB0aXZhdGUuZm0vZ2VucmUtcmV2ZWFsLXBhcnR5Lw/episode/N2VkOTY1M2ItOTgwMy00OWQwLWIyZmQtYzdlNDA2M2QyYTlmFollow/contact This Is Your Afterlife:https://thisisyourafterlife.com/https://www.instagram.com/thisisyourafterlife/thisisyourafterlifepodcast@gmail.comMusic by TIYA house band Lake Mary:https://lakemary.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/chaz.prymek/Artwork by Matt Sage:https://www.instagram.com/matthewjsage/

Viele Hobbyläufer trainieren wie Elite-Läufer – und genau das könnte ihr größter Fehler sein.Während Profis ihre Grundlage mit enormen Trainingsumfängen aufbauen, verfügen Recreational Runner meist nur über wenige Trainingseinheiten pro Woche. In dieser Folge erkläre ich, warum der klassische Ansatz „erst viel Grundlage, dann Intensität“ für viele Hobbyläufer nicht die beste Lösung ist.Wir sprechen über Reverse Periodization, die Bedeutung von Intensität, typische Fehler beim Volumenaufbau, Laufverletzungen, Laufökonomie und die Rolle von Krafttraining für bessere Laufleistungen.Außerdem bekommst du eine einfache Struktur, mit der du dein Lauftraining effektiver gestalten kannst – auch wenn du nur wenig Zeit zur Verfügung hast.Eine Folge für alle, die smarter statt einfach nur mehr trainieren wollen.QUELLE: Boullosa, D., Esteve-Lanao, J., Casado, A., Peyré-Tartaruga, L.

For many years, the topic of whether a polarized or pyramidal training intensity distribution is more effective for endurance athletes has been hotly debated. Arturo Casado, PhD, is one of the foremost researchers in this area (and former European Champion in the 1500 metres). Today, Arturo dissects what the science really says in 2026: whether there is a winner, and if not, what are the athlete-specific, event-specific, and other variables that impact which training distribution will bring the best results. We also discuss specific training models from Canova to Norwegian from both scientific and practical perspectives, and bring it all together with practical advice relevant for amateur triathletes and runners.  HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS:  The science and practice of training intensity distributions. Who should use polarized versus pyramidal TIDs and when?  How do factors such as athlete level, age and sex, sport or modality, distance or event, periodization and more impact the choice of training intensity distribution? The science and practise of different training models in distance running, including Lydiard, Kenyan, Canova, Norwegian, Coe and more How do best practices differ between amateur athletes and elite runners and triathletes?   Practical tips and takeaways DETAILED EPISODE SHOWNOTES:  We have detailed shownotes for all of our episodes.

Most runners follow a training plan. Very few understand the architecture behind why it's built the way it's built, and that gap is exactly where progress stalls.This week, we break down the science of periodization: what it actually is, how to structure a full training year around it, and the most common mistakes that keep athletes stuck in the gray zone. We cover training intensity distribution (pyramidal vs. polarized vs. mixed), block versus concurrent periodization and what the research actually supports, the five phases of a well-built training year, and why your easy days are probably not easy enough. Zoë also shares what she's noticed firsthand after switching to a block-style approach in her own training, the good, the bad, and the PRs.Before the main topic, we run through a Hot or Not triple-header: Nomeo broccoli sprout shots (real mechanism, no peer-reviewed human data yet), the Apex Narwhal palm cooling device (the Stanford science is interesting, the application for runners is not), and pelvic floor PT, which gets a full endorsement for every runner, regardless of gender or whether you've ever been pregnant.New to Microcosm?

The 2026 ACSM resistance training guidelines are shifting the conversation—and most people are going to miss what actually matters. In this episode of The Fitness League Podcast, we break down the latest updates in strength training recommendations and what they mean for real people trying to get stronger, healthier, and more consistent. The biggest takeaway? Fitness doesn't need to be as complicated as the industry makes it. We dive into the shift from rigid, prescriptive programming toward more practical, sustainable approaches that prioritize long-term adherence over short-term optimization. We also unpack the nuances of progressive overload, how much variation and periodization actually matter, and what these updates mean from a public health perspective. This conversation isn't about chasing perfect programs—it's about understanding what truly drives results and how to build a system you can stick with. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting advice or like you're not doing "enough," this episode will help simplify your approach and refocus on what actually works. Because the future of fitness isn't more complexity— it's better consistency.

Exercise is one of the most powerful tools we have for aging well—but how we train matters just as much as that we train. In this episode of The Aging Well Podcast, Dr. Jeff Armstrong breaks down the concept of periodization—a foundational principle in exercise science—and explains why it becomes even more important as we age.Through a guided conversation led by co-host Corbin Bruton, this episode explores what periodization is, why unstructured or “random” training often fails aging bodies, and how intentional cycles of stress and recovery help preserve strength, mobility, resilience, and motivation across the lifespan. Listeners will walk away with a clearer understanding of how to train smarter, reduce injury risk, and build a sustainable approach to fitness for decades—not just weeks.Please, support The Aging Well Podcast by hitting the ‘like' button, subscribing/following the podcast, sharing with a friend, and….Tip Jar!

Caffeine, Polyphenols, and Smarter Training Volume: Total Reps, Fatigue, and Performance On this Valentine's Day episode of Iron Radio, hosts Coach Phil Stevens, Dr. Mike T. Nelson, and Dr. Lonnie Lowery discuss authenticity in sports nutrition communication, then review an editorial in Current Developments in Nutrition (Buckley et al., with Stu Phillips as senior author) highlighting that “proper” nutrition varies by sport demands. They summarize research in the special issue on athletic performance: four papers on caffeine/coffee showing improvements across aerobic and anaerobic outcomes (power output, time to exhaustion, vertical jump, sprint performance, post-activation performance enhancement), reduced perceived fatigue, and possible benefits to hand-eye coordination, with one paper suggesting ~3 mg/kg may be sufficient versus higher dosing. They also note mixed findings on polyphenols/anthocyanins (including black currant data showing more support for recovery than performance) and mention continued creatine coverage amid ongoing misinformation.  After show/network announcements (updated podcast feed via the Iron Radio Nutrition Radio Network, Mike Nelson's free daily newsletter, and Lonnie Lowry's upcoming 2025/2026 second edition book Dietary Supplements in Sports Performance), the conversation shifts to training prescription. Phil explains programming volume via total rep targets (e.g., 30 reps) instead of fixed set/rep schemes to manage good and bad days, emphasize perfect form, and allow flexibility through “buy ups/buy outs,” including leaving the gym on days when submaximal work isn't there. The hosts discuss practical considerations like rest periods, avoiding turning the weight room into conditioning for athletes, tailoring density/rest to sport demands (powerlifting vs field sports), and coordinating training load to prevent staleness and excessive fatigue. They also address hybrid/CrossFit-style programming pitfalls, the need for purposeful periodization and strength development, and how total-dose training can help older lifters maintain muscle while managing joint stress, while still recognizing times when pushing sets is appropriate. 00:00 Welcome to Iron Radio + Hosts Introductions (Valentine's Day Episode) 01:03 Authenticity vs ‘Boring Experts' in Sports Nutrition Communication 02:38 Today's Agenda: New Sports Nutrition Editorial + Training Volume Flexibility 04:28 Research Roundup: Caffeine/Coffee Performance Effects (Dose, Fatigue, Coordination) 08:42 Polyphenols/Anthocyanins & Creatine: Mixed Evidence and Practical Takeaways 09:55 Network Updates, Newsletter, and Upcoming Supplements Book Promo Break 13:16 Training by Total Reps: Auto-Regulating Volume on Good vs Bad Days 18:36 Quality Reps, Rest Flexibility, and Sport-Specific Density (Strength vs Conditioning) 22:33 Strength Work vs. Conditioning: Safer Training and Better Reps 22:57 Coaching Coordination, Fatigue, and the Power of a Taper 23:51 When Coaches Misread Staleness: ‘Run More' and Other Late-Season Mistakes 24:41 Programming Hybrid Athletes: Separate Strength, Conditioning, and Simulation 26:51 Periodization 101: Stop Chasing Three Rabbits 27:26 CrossFit Reality Check: Winners Get Strong (Not Just ‘WOD of the Day') 29:13 What Takes Years: Max Strength and Muscle vs. Quick Aerobic Gains 30:26 Training as You Age: ‘Total Dose' to Maintain Muscle and Progress 33:00 Coming Back for a Meet: Build Back Smart and Don't Rush the Load 34:14 Progression Model + Wrap-Up and Safety Disclaimer Donate to the show via PayPal HERE.You can also join Dr Mike's Insider Newsletter for more info on how to add muscle, improve your performance and body comp - all without destroying your health, go to www.ironradiodrmike.com Thank you!Phil, Jerrell, Mike T, and Lonnie

Periodization is the structure of workouts into cycles: "macro, meso, micro." (12:30) Another way of saying this is: to change things up to keep things fresh. Vinnie goes deeper, using his 2-day routine as an example. (15:00) Periodization is a way to build strength by focusing on different parts of the body. (19:00) Another approach Vinnie uses is in his aerobic exercise. (23:00) Depending on his goal, Vinnie changes things up. How do you know when you should mix things up? (33:00) When you're not seeing much change happening in your strength, or when you're getting bored. (39:00) There is such a thing as changing things up too frequently as well. (41:00) If you feel like you are not making progress, it may actually be time to let up for a little bit, not necessarily grind harder.

OVERVIEWAnnual Training Plans are big-picture, long term plans that map out training phases to bring the athlete into key races, events, or time periods with peak form and freshness, which helps optimize performance. For some, these can be fun to map out, especially if you like spreadsheets and planning. Others find it boring, confusing, time-consuming. Either way, in Episode 288 of "The Time-Crunched Cyclist Podcast", Coach Adam Pulford takes you through the steps of creating and managing your annual training plan, and also reveals tricks of the trade to speed up the process and avoid common pitfalls.TOPICS COVEREDMapping out your annual training planUnderstanding periodization in trainingUtilizing TrainingPeaks for planningCommon pitfalls in annual training plansRESOURCESThe Comprehensive Guide to Creating an Annual Training Plan | TrainingPeaksAnnual Training Plan Methodologies – TrainingPeaks Help CenterPast Episode Explanations:Episode #46 = Periodization, Training Modalties & Planning https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-time-crunched-cyclist-podcast-by-cts/id1494799053?i=1000514294530  Episode #212 - SweetSpot vs Polarized Training (and other Modalities) Explained: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/trainright-podcast/id1494799053?i=1000668322894ASK A QUESTION FOR A FUTURE PODCASTHOSTAdam Pulford has been a CTS Coach for nearly two decades and holds a B.S. in Exercise Physiology.

Today's guest is Dustin Oranchuk, Ph.D. Dustin is a sport scientist focused on sprinting biomechanics, speed development, and force production. Known for blending research with practical coaching insight, his work explores how isometrics, elasticity, and coordination shape high-performance sprinting and athletic movement. Isometric training is one of the “original” forms of strength training, and in the modern day has become one of the most popular areas of discussion and training methodology. Although the practice has exploded, it often lacks an understanding of physiology of adaptation with various methods. In this episode, Dustin explores the evolving world of isometric training, including the origins of isometrics. We discuss differences between pushing and holding contractions, tendon and neural adaptations, and modern applications in performance, rehab, and longevity. The conversation also dives into eccentric quasi-isometrics (EQIs), motivation and measurement challenges, and how coaches can intelligently integrate isometrics alongside plyometrics and traditional strength work.

Early isometric systems emphasized position specific strength over movement. Modern usage has expanded beyond barbell sports into rehab and longevity. 8:38 Modern Applications of Isometrics Isometrics are now widely used to “own positions” across joint angles. Longer duration holds are frequently used for tissue health and rehab. Training intent has shifted from peak strength toward durability and resilience. 9:52 Neural vs. Morphological Adaptations Short range, position specific isometrics bias neural intent and coordination. Long muscle length isometrics bias hypertrophy and tendon adaptation. Choose isometric type based on whether the goal is performance transfer or tissue change. 15:45 The Importance of Long Holds Tendons require relatively high intensity to meaningfully adapt. Long holds help reveal side to side asymmetries and control deficits. Extended holds build tolerance and confidence in vulnerable joint positions. 19:42 Combining Isometrics and Plyometrics Pairing isometrics and plyometrics can produce modest additive benefits. Combining methods may reduce fatigue compared to doing each alone. The interaction may enhance effort quality rather than purely physiological output. 39:22 Exploring Eccentric Quasi Isometrics EQIs combine a maximal hold followed by forced eccentric lengthening. They accumulate large time under tension and eccentric impulse. EQIs are powerful but mentally taxing and difficult to sustain long term. 47:10 Periodization and Isometric Training Use longer, lower intensity holds earlier in the offseason. Progress toward shorter, higher intensity, position specific isometrics near competition. Post game isometrics can support recovery without additional joint stress. 1:05:48 Future Research Directions Measurement technology has driven the resurgence of isometrics. Push versus hold distinctions are becoming a key research focus. Future work aims to clarify muscle and tendon behavior during isometric intent. 1:13:00 Closing Thoughts and Reflections Consistency with foundational exercises drives long term progress. Isometrics are tools, not replacements for dynamic training. Coaches should match the method to the goal, not the trend. Quotes from Dustin Oranchuk “Tendons tend to need a certain threshold of intensity to get meaningful adaptations.” “The maximal amount of force you can push is almost always more than what you can hold.” “Isometrics let you own positions rather than just pass through them.” “Long holds are a great diagnostic tool for finding asymmetries.” “EQIs are effective, but they are very hard to push hard and regularly.” “Use the best tool for the job rather than trying to blend everything together.” “Consistency beats constantly reinventing your training approach.” “Isometrics compress joint motion so other systems can recover and adapt.” “Intent matters just as much as the muscle action itself.” “You do not need complexity to get strong adaptations over time.” About Dustin Oranchuk Dustin Oranchuk, PhD, is a sport scientist specializing in speed development, biomechanics, and force production in sprinting and jumping. He holds a doctorate in sport science and has worked extensively with elite athletes across track and field, team sports, and high-performance environments. Dustin is widely known for his research-informed yet practical approach to sprint mechanics, isometric training, and elastic performance, bridging laboratory insights with real-world coaching application. Through consulting, research, and education, he helps coaches and athletes better understand how force, stiffness, and coordination influence maximal speed and performance.

In this episode of The Coach Dave Love Podcast, we dive into the concept of Periodization and how it can elevate shooting development when applied with purpose.Matt and I explore:What Periodization means in the context of skill developmentThe phases of shooting development (Movement Coordination, Skill Adaptability, Performance)How to schedule workouts based on time of year, player needs, and specific goalsThis episode connects theory with practical application, and helps coaches rethink how they sequence and schedule shooting work to maximize transfer.

NBA shooting coach Dave Love joins Coleman and Tyler for one of the deepest conversations we've had on shooting development. Dave breaks down shooting periodization, quantifying touch, movement coordination, skill adaptability, the massive misconceptions coaches still hold about shooting mechanics and much more.He shares stories from working with Aaron Gordon, Tristan Thompson, and other NBA clients, while also offering incredibly practical guidance for coaches working at every level.This one's a masterclass.00:00 – 06:00 | Introduction & Dave's BackgroundDave Love's career overviewHow he got into NBA shooting developmentEarly mistakes and breakthroughs06:00 – 23:00 | Shooting Periodization ExplainedHow periodization applies to skill developmentThe three phases:Movement CoordinationSkill AdaptabilityPerformance TrainingWhy weak shooters shouldn't jump into “game-like” trainingThe challenge point and avoiding overload23:00 – 38:00 | Touch, the C-Curve, & Shot AdaptationDave's research on touchWhy good shooters adjust angle & velocity togetherWhy inconsistent shooters adjust in opposite directionsHow constraints and variability train touchPractical examples for coaches to use38:00 – 59:00 | Self-Organization, Constraints & The Sandbox AnalogyWhy self-organization is NOT “do whatever you want”How constraints shape learningThe sandbox:Walls = boundariesCenter = functional variabilityGiving players freedom inside structureAvoiding over-coaching explanations59:00 – 1:13:00 | Case Studies & Coaching in High-Performance SettingsAaron Gordon's transformationTristan Thompson switching handsCampazzo and the 50–40–90 seasonAdapting training when you can't add loadIndividualizing intention within team drillsHow to guide players without changing the drill1:13:00 – 1:26:20 | Future of Shooting Research & Final TakeawaysThe next frontier: studying ball biomechanics, not just formSpin axis, ball path, and straight-line set pointWhy the field still misunderstands “smoothness”Final advice for coaches at all levelsWhere to find Dave Love and his resourcesYou can find Dave on all socials @Coachdavelove, check out his website "coachdavelove.com" and make sure to check out his podcast - The Coach Dave Love PodcastAs always, stay up to date with everything we have going on IG: https://www.instagram.com/byanymeanscoaches/YT: https://www.youtube.com/@ByAnyMeansCoachesAlso, check out Coleman's new book!!https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Basketball-Blueprint-Holistic-Adaptable/dp/B0G34LSST6

Hyrox, endurance training, strength training, periodization, recovery strategies, injury prevention, hybrid athletes, fitness competition, athletic training, physical therapyIn this episode, Ross and I discussed the balance between strength and endurance training, particularly in the context of the Hyrox competition.We explored the challenges athletes face when trying to excel in both areas, the importance of periodization in training, and effective recovery strategies. The conversation also touched on injury prevention for runners and the evolving landscape of hybrid athletes who combine strength and endurance training.TakeawaysYou can be good at both endurance and strength, but not at the same time.Periodization is crucial for balancing different training focuses.Recovery strategies like sleep and nutrition are foundational.Hyrox competitions require a unique blend of strength and endurance.Injury prevention is essential for both runners and strength athletes.Foam rolling and mobility work are key for long-term health.Athletes should build a solid foundation before specializing in one area.Transitioning from strength to endurance requires careful planning.Hybrid athletes are becoming more common in the fitness landscape.Training for Hyrox involves multiple disciplines and strategies.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Personal Updates02:52 Hyrox Competition Insights06:09 Balancing Endurance and Strength Training09:03 Periodization in Training11:52 Recovery Strategies for Athletes14:46 Transitioning from Strength to Endurance18:06 Injury Prevention for Runners20:53 Training Strategies for Strength Athletes23:36 The Future of Hybrid Athletes

This week we're kicking off a two-part series on PCOS, and it's personal. This is part one where Alaina shares her journey of living with PCOS—from the first confusing signs as a teenager, to being given a bad bandaid solution by doctors, to finally finding her own path forward. If you've ever been told to “just go on the pill” or felt like your concerns weren't taken seriously, this story will feel all too familiar.Alaina opens up about how she learned to manage her PCOS, make sense of her symptoms, and ultimately support her body in a way that led to getting pregnant naturally—something she was once told might not be possible!!

In this episode of the Bacon, Bibles, and Barbells Podcast, some of the High Calling Fitness coaches Justin, Amanda, and Emily cover WHY WE DON'T DO CROSSFIT. People ask us this frequently. "I'm doing CrossFit, isn't that enough?" We talk through why we think CrossFit is not the ideal method for most people. We are thankful to CrossFit for popularizing lifting and barbells and handing that to the culture at large. Strength Training is more popular than ever before, largely due to their influence. We talk about the expense, the culture, the injury risk, the burnout, and the sustainability (or lack there-of) of the CrossFit way. There are several reasons why we just don't recommend it for anyone trying to make a sustainable lifestyle change, especially if you are over 30! Most people benefit WAY more from a personalized approach, aimed at muscle mass and overall health for the long run. Give it a listen here or wherever you get your podcasts!

It's no secret in 2025 that stronger muscles lead to longer life. If you're a woman in perimenopause, postmenopause or anything in between, this is no surprise to you. I think we are very aware of it, but let's unpack how weight lifting treats and prevents chronic diseases. Women, at any age, need stronger muscles for a longer life. Not just for aesthetics, but for functionality and independence.   My Guest: A longtime Vanity Fair contributing editor, Michael Joseph Gross has published investigative reporting, essays, and books about culture, technology, politics, religion, and business. He was raised in rural Illinois and lives in New York City.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:04:31] How did this become a topic of interest to you personally?  [00:07:54] Let's connect strength training to prevention and treatment of illnesses often associated - even accepted - with aging? [00:20:17] Weight training has been shown to decrease anxiety and to have positive effects on risk of Alzheimer's or type 3 diabetes, can you explain for the listeners?  [00:26:31] How has the work of Dr. Maria Fiatarone Singh showed that weight training may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's? [00:33:13] Why is lifting heavy important? Do you worry that leading with “lift heavy” intimidates women? What did you uncover as evidence that it is never too late to start progressive strength training?   Why Strength Training? Strength training changes more than just your body—it's internal too. It's not about looking stronger—it's about being stronger. Adolescence and menopause are both times when women feel their bodies are changing without their consent. Strength training gives back a sense of control, capability, and power.   Stronger Muscles Longer Life At Any Age   Strong Youth: Peak bone mass forms in youth—strength training in adolescence builds lifelong health. A 10% increase in bone mass reduces future fracture risk by more than 50%.   Strong in Midlife: Dr. Maria Fiatarone Singh, geriatrician and professor in Sydney, Australia, found that even 90+ year-olds can gain muscle mass with high-intensity training. Weight training can treat and prevent nearly all chronic diseases.   Stronger Muscles Through Weight Lifting Treats and Prevents These Diseases: Type 2 Diabetes Heart Disease Osteoporosis Depression and Anxiety Insomnia Osteoarthritis Frailty Dementia & Alzheimer's Blood Pressure and Cholesterol Fall Risk   Periodization & Smart Strength Training: Periodization: Cycles of high effort, deloading, and rest. Women (especially Type A) tend to push too hard—leading to burnout or injury. Strength training should energize you, not exhaust you. Part of lifting heavy is lifting light. The goal: Live better, not just lift more.   Ancient Greek Lesson: The Right Time to Train Greek word kairos = the “opportune moment” for action. Good training is about doing the right thing at the right time. Don't blindly follow a plan. Train for your body today.   Connect with Michael: Michael's Website Twitter - DuttonBooks   Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - 5 Things I Would Do If I Were Tired All the Time  More Like This - What's Best Total Body or Split Routine in Menopause   Resources: Tune in to the upcoming Flipping 50 Masterclass.

In this episode, my guest is Pavel Tsatsouline, a world-renowned strength and conditioning coach, former military special forces training instructor, author, and founder of StrongFirst—an online school focused on “low-tech, high-concept” training to build strength for men and women of all fitness levels. We discuss the most effective and efficient ways to build strength, endurance, and flexibility. We cover bodyweight-only, free-weight, and machine-based protocols and describe training splits and lesser-known but highly effective ways to train, especially for people with limited time. We also discuss local versus systemic nervous system and muscle recovery, how to complete training sessions with increased energy, why training to “failure” is not advised, optimal rest-between-sets protocols to improve performance, and how to vary effort levels across each week and month to ensure regular progress. This episode brings you highly practical, science-supported, and real-world-tested training methods to build strength, endurance, and flexibility from one of the world's top experts.
