dude I love your content with my whole heart. I’m a soccer player from Italy and since I’ve started seeing your videos and podcast I feel much more confident in what I’m doing in the gym and field. Just trying to be athletic!
Is this mainly for strength adaptions? I see for hypertrophy adaptions it’s typical to do 3x10ish reps whereas for strength around 20 reps or so (or even less) suffice for a potent stimulus. Would you lean on the lower side of total reps (ex. 3x8) for hypertrophy? Curious to hear your thoughts.
@@jacklauren9359 I am pretty sure he is not an expert in endurance and long-distance training. If that is what you are looking for then you are in the wrong place
Speed is specific to pattern recognition and repetition. I trained with football players who used them obsessively and I looked clumsy, but once I get in my wrestling stance, I make people trip over themselves. For general foot speed train plyos, high rep plyos like jump rope and line jumps, and sprints is all you need. Then just practice your sport drills.
what about people who move like a piece of wood? Would a ladder be a good introduction for them so they can extrapolate more general/challenging ladder patterns into their sport?
Or in other words however many it takes to go to failure, safely that is, with the weight that you choose. It's why there's a percentage chart available. That feeling for the first time when you choose something too heavy to barely get one to three reps with, you go to the chart, do the calculations grab a weight that you can do 12 with and then it clicks.
This works if you know your 1RMs. A good option without knowing your 1RMs is picking a rep range then picking a weight that is RPE 8 for that rep range. If the weight goes up but the RPE stays the same, then you got stronger.
