Horsepower first.the Long Term Athletic Development Model and Type II muscle fibers during peak velocity growthThere’s a lot of Couch to 5K programs, but there are no Couch to NBA programsIt’s much harder to help someone get strong or powerful than it is to help someone get in shape.Zone 2 takes so much time that realistically it doesn’t make sense to program if you only have 3 hours a week in the gymYour gas tank only has to be big enough, bigger might not be better. If you think of Racing they could put bigger gas tanks in the car to decrease the number of pit stops but a heavier car is a slower car. You’d lose every race.Interval training can improve Vo2MaxWhen it comes to the general population and we are thinking longevity and health then zone 2 makes more sense or I may be more willing to do long slow training for 45+ minutesSports = performance, wins, injury prevention, contractsGen Pop = blood panels, disability years, ADLs, longer life, decrease painMeet people where they’re at!

Show Notes:Programming for Adult GroupsDifferent price points = different expectations and options for individualizationA system of regressions and progressions ensures no one is held back, no one is left behind and everyone is safe and successfulThe rule of 3 and 10: your operations and systems need to change whenever you multiply by 3 or 10… 3 people, 10 people, 30 people, 100 people, 300 people, etc…The philosophy stays the same, but the methods change. If you have a universal belief system all your workouts should look similar.Do we have the equipment? Do we have the space? Is it safe for a large group?Intro Program (micro):We do have the same ability to assess people signing up for group training due to the lower price point8 week intro program that provides guardrails and gives up a mini-assessment and address all our movement patterns (squatting, hinging, pushing, pulling, low impact)After that the adults groups are on a 12 month rotational programWe write ONE program that is then adapted to the individual. NOT 10 individualized programs. If you want an individualized program you pay the high price for that aka personal trainingEx. The group is kettlebell swinging but the new group member will be hinging or deadlifting. The kettlebell swing is advanced and earned.Cast a really big net to catch a lot of fish, but you won’t catch all the fish and that’s okay.Have workout number 12 and beyond in your mind when you’re setting up an introductory program and starting out. Don’t try to crush them with volume or intensity. Think about and talk about the next workout.Training StructureThe first few workouts are just understanding where things are, how things work, where things are, who’s part of the community - teach them the recipe!Don’t single the new individual out. Keep them moving within the group. Be okay with not completing the whole workout(s) the first few weeks.You DON’T have to do an assessment on the first session. You can just make it a meet and greet and save the “physical” assessment for the second workout12 sessions and beyond (macro):Each month (phase) has a different focus - tempos, isos, eccentrics, hypertrophy, density, circuits, complexesSeasonal training - in season, off season, maintenanceThere’s a bit of “enter-trainment” needed when training people train with you for a long timePersonality typesCheck the box typesGoal oriented typesTraining focused typesHow to develop great “adult athletes/clients”?Nurture relationshipsGym cultureBuying into their goalsKeep Pushing themBook Club recommendation:Kevin: How We Learn to Move: A Revolution in the Way We Coach & Practice Sports Skills by Rob GrayBrendon: ​​Never Split the Difference: Negotiating as if Your Life Depended on It by Chris Voss

And if so, when?I feel so much better after I stretching = more stretch toleranceStretching helps us get into better positionsAfter not moving all day, stretching is a nice way to get into your body and get into end rangesStretching doesn’t affect power if you warm up, strength train properly and work on motor control and patternsBook Club recommendation:Kevin: Force: The biomechanics of training by Dan CleatherBrendon: ​​The Score Takes Care of Itself: My Philosophy of Leadership by Bill Walsh
