ATG Principle #3
Every Performance Has An Ideal Body Composition...
... and the coach who can get their athletes to IDEAL fastest and best will be the winner!
In all our TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT should we not look to regain the HUMAN ABILITY that got us here as the species we are today?

What is short-range strength? Why is it important? How can we use it best within sessions and within a training cycle?
Join Keegan in today's episode and found out!

ATG Principle #2
TENSION is the key variable we are manipulating.
We can create it with heavy loads moving slow or fast... Or with light loads moving fast...Being in SHORT or LONG Range when the tension is created determines the risk of injury and the type of adaptations that will result!It's all tension training... this concept helps end the distinction between "Field & Gym" for athletes... it's all tension... the relative tendon, muscle, neural load can be calculated / estimated based on the positions and rates of loading.Progressing tension in the direction that is needed goes beyond BAR VELOCITY to focus on the internal adaptations rather than the external stimulus.
What do you think? What would you add / change about this principle?

What role is the connective tissue playing in the lift?The results of training are dramatically impacted by the range that is selected.Athletic Range is a new paradigm in athletic development that encourages coaches and athletes to reconsider the connective tissue contribution to strength.Short & Long manipulation does show up in some bodybuilding programs and I think it's the bodybuilders who tend to use the principle best. Bringing this idea to the athletic world and taking it another step further has created a revolution where tens of thousands of coaches are reconsidering their programs and hundreds of thousands of people have changed the way they train legs...This is only the beginning! Every muscle can be better developed with Athletic Range Strength.I know there are people much smarter than me tuning in here... I'd love to hear your thoughts and what I'm missing.

Which program should we experiment with in the ATG For Coaches Community? Athletic Range, Athletic Extras, ATG For Arms, In-Season For Athletes

The only way to get to the next level is to find the limitations in what we’re doing right now, and do better!In this episode, Keegan asks himself what he would change if he were to go back to the NRL again as a strength coach.

Why? How much? How long? Who teaches it? What are the tests? Insurance? CrossFit? Joe Rogan? Fast Track...

Super excited to announce the rebranding of RealMVMT to ATG For Coaches and explain some of the benefits for coaches!

By applying this idea of “money in” before “money out” you can build a business without anxiety for you or your members!
