The Lower Back Pain Podcast (That Actually Helps)

Episode 16: The Off-Season Edge - How to Train Like a GAA Athlete (Not a Gym Tourist)


Listen Later

It's 10 weeks to Christmas – and the off-season is where games are won. This episode cuts through the noise and gets straight to what actually matters for GAA players: rebuilding match-winning power, fixing last season's injuries, and ditching the slow, pointless runs that kill your explosiveness.

Listen in to know how I break down training like a Gaelic athlete - not a CrossFitter, not a gym tourist - and why strength, speed, and recovery should drive every off-season session. From sled pushes to Jammer presses, he explains how to train with purpose, not ego.

You'll learn: ⚡ Why long, slow runs are sabotaging your power and fat loss 💪🏻 How to build functional muscle that keeps you lean and fast 🏐 What real off-season structure looks like for a GAA player 🔥 The difference between "being fit" and being match-ready

If you're serious about showing up next season faster, leaner, and harder to knock off the ball – this is your wake-up call.
