Show Notes
In this white-board session, Dr. Spina sits down to discuss a question that is vital to the understanding of any process but especially as it pertains to human optimization - What are your training goals? Do you want to build tissue/muscle? Increase power? Develop greater strength? Are you rehabbing an injury? Do you want to get better at a particular task? Regardless of the answer, we then have to ask - Where should I begin? Listen as Dre explains why the specificity of your answer will directly influence your ability to create lasting biological and neurological change in the bodies of clients, patients, or yourselves. Topics covered in this episode include; understanding Max effort vs Dynamic effort inputs, the pitfalls of pattern training, the anatomy and physiology of muscular contraction, the all-or-none principal of contraction, programming desires vs time constraints, programming for combat sport athletes, and many more.
