Welcome to the resurrection of Compound Performance Radio! We're sorry for the summer hiatus. But we're back, with discussions on the importance of program design, exercise selection, and adjusting programs based on client response. The podcast also covered programming for different training frequencies, specificity vs. general population programming, and individualized training programs for runners and strength athletes.

The episode involves a discussion on aerobic development between Craig Owen, Matt Domney, and Seth Zanutto. Seth's background in fitness, combat athletes, and endurance training makes him an ideal participant. The conversation delves into their personal experiences with chaotic training methods and the importance of structured programs for optimal performance.

The dialogue shifts to specific training methodologies for fighters, highlighting the need for quality over specificity in developing athletic qualities. They discuss balancing sprinter-like explosiveness with marathon-like endurance to meet the varied demands of different sports like kickboxing, MMA, boxing, hockey, basketball, and football. The approach focuses on building a broad base of fitness tailored to individual athlete assessments.

The discussion in the episode focused on optimizing conditioning and training methods for athletes, particularly fighters like Seth Zanutto and Craig Owen. They explored strategies to improve endurance, intensity measurement, and workout structures tailored to different fight durations.

The conversation delved into the importance of managing volume, intensity, and tapering during fight camps. Seth Zanutto highlighted the transition from technical training to game planning closer to fights while emphasizing gradual intensity ramp-up followed by a tapering period before competition.

The CP Podcast is BACK! After a long hiatus, we've finally decided to bring back the podcast with a different goal - instead of interviewing a new guest every week and rehashing basically the same topic each time, we're going to give you our thoughts on more specific things in the industry. This week, we're discussing biomechanics vs load management!

Check out some of the details below

We try not to take ourselves too serious but we are also going to be bringing professionals in both spaces to get to the bottom of does strength and condition matter, and why the answer is to get as jacked as possible.
