Just posted this video inside the Training Hub as well but also wanted to post it here to make sure you guys can see it. There are so many misconceptions about in season training and how to exaclty attack it. However, I have found that it actually forms a unique window of opportunity to still get better. In the video I break down how you can structure your week to set it up for succes!

Most athletes think progress = more work. But if that were true, the hardest workers would always win. What’s one thing in your training that feels productive but might actually be stalling your progress? (Volume? Exercise selection? Rest times? Not tracking lifts?) Let me know down below and let's find out why you aren't progressing!!

I got the question the other day from one of my athletes ( who has basically been a powerlifter his whole life) on why he can’t jump higher despite having elite strength levels Here is the thing: Powerlifters or people that basically only do heavy strength training get all the good adaptations that we basically want to obtain from strength training as athletes. They mostly get stiffer tendons and an insane capacity to produce force however… They don’t have the ability to produce this force rapidly ( rate of force development) and they often don’t have the ability to produce force rapidly eccentrically. So in his case we need to focus on reverse engineering his body. Do a lot of plyos, work on rapidly expressing force and power etc… Obviously this is not the average athlete. He has insane strength levels . Most of you are just the other way around. You’ve probably been jumping and sprinting your whole life and do possess these qualities.

A great way to get some quality work in when you’re short on time is using EMOMs ( every minute on the minute) The principle is quite easy. Every minute you do x amount of reps and once the next minute hits you start again. Do it as following: set yourself a time limit ( for example 10 minutes) And set yourself a certain amount of reps @x intensity I like this particularly with power movements @lower volumes for example with Olympic lifts. Obviously it’s also a great conditioning method or even for strength work to get some more volume in. This way you can get quality work in in short amount of times. A workout could look like this: 10 minutes of 3 hang power cleans @70% EMOM

In one of your videos you talked about strenght and speed and that most athletes are not strong enough. How do you know when you are strong enough and should focus more on speed? So my question right now is how do you know wich one is keeping you back the most for jumping higher at this moment (strenght or speed)?
