In this week's episode, we are joined by Circus Flex & Strength Coach Henri Hänninen as we dive into a multitude of interesting topics. We discuss avenues such as learning, motivation, pleasure, training flexibility, why skill training is not strength training, periodization, how the brain is impacted through minimal and maximal strength training, and Motor learning through the keys of agency, motivation, and variability of practice.
