How sad is it that this has so few views and every social media guru is spewing the same garbage! This is excellent content!

4:00 prescribed exercise. what is the affect of the exercise i prescribe? 8:06 what is the physiological affect? 14:50 the only way to get better at your sport is to do your sport. 15:10 practicing with a heavier ball doesn’t make you better at playing in the game with ball 22:53 most strength coaches have no clue what their doing 26:00 the most explosive team doesn’t do ballistic training 27:30 improvement in technique is the major determinant in explosiveness/power 37:00 fast movement & using heavier weight increases sheering forces = NO BUENO 41:35 weight lifting, power lifting & football cause the most injuries 1:01:48 training is not life or death 1:03:00 first fibers to be recruited are slow twitch. Recruitment based on Need NOT speed. 1:12:20 what’s the least amount needed to be the best

Once I discovered Mark, I always come back to this video, its just so amazing to listen to.

Good info, I just want to clarify one thing. At around the 10:00 mark he mentions 60 milliseconds, and says milli is a millionth of a second, micro is 1/1,000,000, milli is 1/1,000. It doesn't change the point he is making, but hey!

I could listen to Mark speak all day long. You can tell how much passion he has for helping people. Thank you so much for posting this!

this was too good . thank you!

@Ron Mckeefery Thank you for sharing this presentation. Mark conveyed excellent info.

Gold...great stuff. Good logic

Every high school strength coach and sports coach in America should have to take a test on the information in this lecture!

Fascinating talk

I’m that 1% still gotta snatch n clean 🏋🏽‍♂️ but this is valuable info especially someone who made it to the pros

That guy is the real deal. So much learning in such a short amount time.

As a physician I can give firsthand experience that exercise physiology was NOT taught to physicians in the 2000’s. As far as I’m aware, things haven’t changed.

No such thing as explosive exercises, just explosive people. Some people have a fiber optics nervous system others have rusty phone lines. If you could significantly change genetic traits, have you ever seen an exercise change eye color. Genetic traits are God given. Developed muscle mass and strength, get as fast as possible in your sport, and have the highest level of skill for your position. This develops athletic power. Speed times strength plus skill equals athletic power.

Ppl who say u can not over train is like saying u can not over eat.

What is the neck exercise he does for injury prevention?

what was that guys name, bret rushell? I can't find it where he mentions him?

Are there some books you can recommend on this and simillar topics? :D

What’s your thoughts on CrossFit?

40:00 So if ballistic training is a "Career Killer" then how could you explain most studies that show plyometrics cause improvements in tendon stiffness, and improving jump and strength performance? Also, putting "sheering forces" as why powerlifting is the second most injury prone sport is quite a conclusion. As a rugby player, what about rugby and the scrum were you isometrically hold 8 people back at full force time and time again every weekend?, how much more "sheering force" do you produce in a scrum instead of a Squat or a Deadlift? There is no way that Powerlifting is more injury prone than Rugby. All this seems less like an evidence based approach and more like a cherrypicked justification for a personal training style.

Bradley Cooper's dad

The overwhelming majority of the data and research would not support the claim that weightlifting is the most dangerous sport. In fact, the general consensus across all of the research is that weightlifting has one of the lowest injury rates. A single study doesn’t tell us much, you need to look at all of the research.

Shit so much of what’s out there is dogshit I’ve seen dreadful strength coaching destroying player’s careers

This leaves so much to be desired, very incomplete. When everything has to be evidence based you’re going to be behind the clinical data, to say plyometrics aren’t effective is ridiculous. I totally agree with having to play your sport to get better but I think there’s a lot of value for things like hops, throws and sprints both for athletes and the general population, our fast twitch fibers definitely fade as we are so training power is essential. I say look at jay Schroeder and how he trained Adam archaletta

Funny how even a football coach mentions a historical medical guideline of do no harm but all the "drs" conveniently overlooked that during covid
