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? Zach- Tell us a bit about Upper Echelon Nutrition More from Max: @strong_by_science uenutrition.com Check out our FREE nutrition program- www.hidefmethod.com/freenutrition www.hidefseattle.com

Max Schmarzo talks with Cory Schlesinger on this episode of StrongbyScience.
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.
