My Masters physiology essay assignment titled - "The physiological adaptations and determinants of maximum strength development in powerlifers"

I ask Mike for his input and his thoughts around the determinants of maximum strength development and how one would try to overcome these limiting factors 

Here we speak about - Intra and intermuscular coordination, neural inhibition, stretch-shorthening-cycle (SSC), hypertrophy, nutrition, drugs, and programming

Mike gets into an extensive indepth discussion on how he has utilized Dr. Bondarchuk's training system with his powerlifting athletes 

Mike talks about how the human organism is a non-linear entity and this impacts adaptation

Mike tells us his thoughts on using a Bondarchuk approach with a beginner

Mike talks about Liz Craven's experience using the Bondurchuk Model

Mike discusses how he designs his "wash-out/ pivot blocks" within this system
