It’s time for another episode of STRONGER TV. Last week we went over how to deal with hip pain during sumo deadlifts. Make sure you check that one out if you haven’t already.

Today’s talk we go a little bit more in depth into programming variables for success in rehab and strength training.

  • Why you DON’T want to make a lot of changes in your athlete’s training program
  • How to auto-regulate your training based on how you feel for the day and week
  • Ramp up weeks, deload weeks and high volume weeks – How they fit into the training equation
  • Why tempo lifts are phenomenal for rehabilitation (and where it fits into a training program)
  • How shortening range of motion (rack pulls, bench from pins) can be great to improve weak points in your lifts as well as for rehabilitation
  • How using different stances in your squat can lead to optimal performance and reduce injury risk

Check it out in the video below!

So there it is. Hopefully after watching this video you now have some ideas of how you can optimize training for yourself or the athletes you work with.
