In this episode of the podcast Dr. Kyle Travis and I discuss tapering and peaking for strength performance. We discuss a recent publication of his that examined step (1 week) and exponential tapers (3 weeks) with an overreach prior to an unload to maximize performance of the squat, bench, and deadlift.

If you want to know more about volume load allocation, stimulus-fatigue-recovery-adaptation, and the reversibility of certain qualities, then this podcast is for you.

In the episode of the podcast, Max, Sarah, and I deep dive in the business side of the sport. Most coaches and athletes are working so hard to understand the X's and O's of weightlifting that they lose sight of the fact that they are running a business.

Sit down with us as we cover marketing, athlete retention, growing to become successful, and everything in-between.

This was a behemoth of an episode. We were joined by Mike Tuchscherer, a man who has essentially created his own training system, Emerging Strategies.

During the show, we deep dive on peaking and athlete response, sequencing training blocks, and why Mike hasn't developed an Emerging Strategies AI.
