I like the concept of "insurance policy". As one ages, working out is paying into the insurance policy that minimises the risk of injury from activities of daily living, whether it be picking up a heavy garbage can or a basket of groceries from the car into the house.

We do all the recommend training in the Crossfit Gym that I go to in Germany. We find out the 1RM, and do in the next weeks the programmed training based on the specfic % of the 1RMs in the training plan. 🏋️. Great results. A lot of fun. And not to much pounding to the body. I really love it.

@eduardosuarez2414 9 ай бұрын

11:38 I had been wondering about this, but more if there's a ceiling rather than a minimum. In other words, there must be a point where the curve starts to flatten in terms of athletic performance gain from squats or deadlifts (or whatever exercise). So e.g. once you can squat twice your bodyweight, would you be better off doing higher reps at that weight, rather than adding weight.

Great video as usual, thanks mate. As an idea for a future video, would be interesting to see how SF effectively manage self-talk. Plenty of videos out there but they all focus on what it is and why it matters, not how to improve it. Especially not when (like most of us) you‘re not facing extreme danger, but a day full of mundane tasks at the office. The best I‘ve found is it should be like a wise father & be orientated to support you achieving your goals. Also the principles of good leadership; what in your experience do good leaders have that sh1t leaders don‘t? 👌😊

So a number of sports scientists and trainers, like Alex Viada for example, have pointed out that there's no statistical evidence that getting stronger or more powerful plays a role in the likelihood of a runner getting injured. And while i appreciate the effort of these guys and their intent, i'm wondering if there's any scientific proof that their emphasis on strength/power actually reduces injuries?

@coachmikechadwick 11 ай бұрын

By using these methods my team tripled the parachute regiment pass rate and reduced MSKI's significantly. The same methods have been used to ensure we have the highest pass rates on the most arduous courses in the world. Science is a culture of doubt until proven otherwise. Huge fan of Alex's work, but tactical athletes don't just run in a straight line. Our centre is for research and when we find out our methods are not working through empirical evidence and practical application, we'll own it and change to ensure we roll with the science and data.

@coxy298 11 ай бұрын

There’s plenty of statistical evidence out there. The main issue is pinning down one consensus given the lack methodological homogeneity. For example a recently published study in the BMJ reported that a 10% increase in strength training volume reduced the risk of injury by more than four percentage points. There are other SRMA papers that support these data too. Alex Viada gained his undergrad degree in the late 90s, I believe it was political. Whilst he might be a “good trainer” he doesn’t have a grasp of the literature if he states there’s “no statistical evidence” For context, I am the Dr in the video and I specialise in musculoskeletal health. I have published some papers that speak to and of improving strength and power in the interested of improving health and performance whilst reducing injury levels.

@Zen-Fighter Жыл бұрын

If you’re training for longevity and enjoyment then your training should reflect that. Ie: low intensity high volume exercise that’s enjoyable. 3 sets of 70% + 1RM’s etc are not “longevity” exercises. They are short term. Longevity exercises that are low intensity are body weight exercises and walking, the odd run and a sprint sesh. And for the most part they are also enjoyable and for the most part should pose less risk of injury.

@Zen-Fighter Жыл бұрын

What was your running cadence? I tracked it at pretty close to 180. You should aim for 180 spm constant. Walking 100-130spm, depending on distance. But you’d know all that anyway. In my previous comment I mentioned longevity - walking is ultimately hands down the single biggest contributor to longevity. IMO it’s also the king of exercises. The data derived from 60 minutes of walking can be used in a multiple of ways in programming. Personally - I’ve done away with all the heavy stuff and gone back to body weight and lifting no more than 25% of body weight when using weights. I’ve done this for “longevity” as well. Once you hit 50 and it’s easier to suffer injuries doing all that heavy stuff. Plus - all that bulk starts to get heavy to carry around. That’s why I’m a firm believer in ensuring maintaining the ability to push, pull, curl and squat your own body weight…by doing body weight exercises. Being 60 and weighing 120kg of muscle but not being able to push yourself off the floor at a speed fast enough to save yourself is not a good thing.
