Show Notes
In this episode of the PRS Podcast, Dr. Rori Alter and Dr. Alyssa Haveson uncover the misconception that barbell training and powerlifting programming needs to be different from the general, younger population.
Here at PRS we never recommend programming templates. We always recommend that programming be catered and tailored to the individual based on their Athlete Identity. This encompasses:
- Continuity of training & training history
- Athletic abilities
- Medical & injury history
- Recoverability
These four characteristics are different for every individual and change depending on where you (or your client) falls across the lifespan and throughout your training.
The most important thing is to have a framework for programming and exercise selection that allows you to determine the frequency, intensity, volume, exercise selection, and rate of progression based on the barbell trainee's Athlete Identity.
In this episode we cover physiological and exercise selection considerations for the Master Barbell Trainee to incorporate and help in the decision making process for programming within the PRS Sustainable Training Method.
What you'll learn is that programming for a Masters Powerlifter is not all that different as programming for a 25 year old powerlifter.
