The Warm-Up That Boosts Your Max Lift – with Tony Blazevich
🏋️♀️ Extended version of this interview: https://www.patreon.com/posts/can-post-help-in-138795246 🏋️♀️
Can a warm-up actually multiply your power in minutes, or is PAP (post-activation potentiation) mostly hype? Tony Blazevich explains how temperature, hydration, and motor-control warm-up shape a real performance boost. He discusses what fundamentals drive the biggest improvements, and debunks a few myths.
Tony Blazevich, PhD, is a Professor of Biomechanics in the School of Medical and Health Sciences and the Director of the Centre for Exercise and Sports Science Research (CESSR). His research explores how musculo-tendinous and neural factors shape movement performance and how these systems adapt to training and detraining. Tony has worked with athletes at all levels, from development programs to Olympic Gold medallists, and currently works as a consultant at both domestic and international levels in Australia and Europe. An author of Sports Biomechanics: The Basics (3rd edition, Bloomsbury), Blazevich bridges biomechanics, neurophysiology, and practical coaching. He focuses on translating cutting-edge research into actionable coaching strategies for athletes, including weightlifters and sprinters.
Enjoy!
