#77 Jonathan Chua/ Peaking for Competition: Discussing the Mental and Physical Barriers, Story with TSG etc...
Description
On Episode 77 of Barbell Radio, I speak with Powerlifting Athlete and coach at The Strength Guys, Jonathan Chua. This is my third guest with someone from The Strength Guys but Jonathan does not fail to meet my expection in regards to the amount of knowledge and experience he has about coaching. Peaking for a Powerlifting could be very challenging mentally and physically. In this episode he speaks about how he coaches his athletes during the peaking phase for a competition, including manipulating fatigue levels, building confidence, adjusting programming based on lifting experience and size of lifter, mental state during competition day etc... Hope this episode brings you value.
バーベルラジオ第77回は、シンガポールのパワーリフティング選手・コーチであるチュア・ジョナサンさんにお話を聞くことができました。彼は、カナダ発のコーチングプラットフォーム「The Strength Guys」のコーチでもあり、シンガポール国内・国外の選手のコーチングをされています。このエピソードの前半は、ジョナサンさんがTSGコーチになったきっかけや、シンガポールでのパワーリフティング界のお話をしていただきました。後半には、選手が大会に出場した時に最大のパフォーマンスを発揮できるようにする「ピーキング」を中心にお話を聞くことができました。ボリューム、強度、などをどのように変えていけばよいか、ピーキング中の疲労コントロール、精神的な疲れなどについて詳しくお話をしていただきました。
