The Lifters League Podcast

Training Intent Matters

Arousal in sport psychology is a spectrum from laid back to hysterical and somewhere in the middle is ideal for performance. This usually means you need some hype or your need to calm down. This can be as find tuned as when you take a breath, what music you play, how you apply chalk, how long you take to get ready. I have observed up to a 20% increase in performance from one set to another simply either changing a routine to increase hype, visualise before lifting to reduce overthinking or breathing to calm down to reduce anxiety.

This matters for strength development as this increase in velocity will maximise force production and creating a better adaptive stimulus. You can’t just lift, you must lift with intent.

Luke Leaman | Muscle Nerds

We talked about a lot of things but the main topic was the prep of a prep which essentially means doing a prep phase so you are able to prep better/healthier for a comp prep. I've talked about this for years, you have to train an athlete to capable of doing a prep as the prep is a huge stress and with stress comes issues. This stress unavoidable so how to we prepare for that.

This challenged everything I’ve done with my athletes since... forever. But the beauty of science that it doesn’t care about your biases, when new information presents itself you adjust or change your views to align with the facts.
