• Barbell Life 413 Dr. Mike Lane "Long Term Athletic Development"

  Today on The Barbell Life Podcast, we were joined by, Dr. Mike Lane, Associate Professor in the Department of Exercise and Sport Science at Eastern Kentucky University. He can also deadlift 751 pounds, so he's not just smart. Today we discussed long term athletic development. We discussed the best way to set expectations:What's your goal?Where are you currently in relation to where you need to be?Train for a few months and see how much progress you make as well as get an idea of what to expect.At that point you will have the information to decide if you're working with a genetically gifted athlete, fast responder, hard gainer, or a combination. The athlete will have time to see what the training is going to be like, and then they can decide if they're willing to put in the work required to get where they want to be. Mike also discussed a brilliant idea of helping an athlete that isn't cut out for a particular sport in finding something that they could excel in. I think we need more of this in America.We discussed how we both fit into the long term development plan in our original decisions to powerlift. We were in two different sectors and yet both of us became elite. Mike believes:Here's what gets you 80% of the way:ConsistencyTraining hardAfter that, you will need solid individualized programming to get you as far as you are genetically capable.Our Black Friday Specials are closing out on Sunday, so don't miss out:60% Off Mash EBook Bundleshttps://www.mashelite.com/product-category/bundles/40% Off Mash Online Coachinghttps://www.bridgeathletic.com/store/blackfridayspecialsforteammasheliteperformance-162935% Mash Courses Bundle on Stronger Expertshttps://www.strongerexperts.com/offers/4fEXiLmN/checkout?coupon_code=MASHCYBERMONDAY

• 412 - Is Weightlifting beneficial for Athletic Performance?

  In this episode of The Barbell Life Podcast, we look to determine if the movements found within Olympic weightlifting are beneficial for improving athletic performance.  To start with, we take a closer look at power explaining that power is the combination of speed and strength. We answer the question regarding "Is the expression of power, found when one performs a power clean, going to actually improve power production?"  Take a deep dive into power and how to improve:Improving Power Production in Athletes https://gymaware.com/improving-power-production-in-athletes/We also discuss tests for athletes that help determine how much time an athlete should spend expressing power, using speed strength, and/or getting stronger. We also look at the monitoring of these ongoing tests to ensure athletes are trending properly.  We discuss the following tests:Dynamic Strength Index and you can take a deep dive at GymAware here: https://gymaware.com/practical-uses-for-the-dynamic-strength-index/We discuss the different types of weightlifting exercises and their derivatives to improve specific athletic qualities like starting strength, RFD, acceleration, and reactive ability.  Is Olympic weightlifting and the derivatives good for cognitive performance?    We look at different ways of measuring the Olympic weightlifting movements and derivatives other than just maximum increases.  We intended for this podcast to give you tools to apply to your current programs to stimulate specific adaptations to maximize the human performance of all of your athletes.  Visit: https://www.mashelite.comSign up for the newsletter    If you are local to the Triad Region of North Carolina, check out our home where Coach Mash is Head of Sports Science: https://www.riseindoorsports.com/  or email him [email protected] support our sponsors:  https://www.swiftperformance.com/  https://www.shredmill.com/ https://gymaware.com/
