• Part of the Zoom Series exploring strength & conditioning concepts with young professionals aged 20-30.*

• Australian strength and conditioning professional
• Preparing for new role with LA Giants
• Previously:
  • Studied at Deakin University, Geelong, Australia
  • 12-month internship at UCLA

Michael's experience, particularly his UCLA internship, reflects:

• High-level collegiate athletic environment exposure

• Improved ability to manage large groups of motivated athletes

We hope you enjoy this week's episode!

This routine focuses on strengthening the feet and ankles to improve stiffness and reactive strength in sprinting. It targets the often-neglected areas crucial for efficient force transfer in sprinting.

• Address foot and ankle strength/stiffness, particularly for athletes with "mushy" feet
• Progressively increase difficulty of exercises
• Focus on quick, reactive movements
• Monitor improvements in foot control and ankle stability over time

Today's episode features Angus Ross, physiologist and strength coach at High Performance Sport New Zealand. Angus is making his second appearance on the podcast, following up on his initial chat about eccentric strength training with practical knowledge on stiffness, fascia, and performance.

• PhD in exercise physiology from the University of Queensland
• Worked with elite athletes in the NZ system, including sprint cycling and skeleton
• Experience in the Australian institute system (Queensland Academy of Sport and Australian Institute of Sport)
• Winter Olympian (1998 and 2002 Winter Games)
• Known for intelligence, curiosity, and pragmatic approach to coaching

• Double versus single leg stiffness for team sport athletes and track/field sprinters
• Benefits and use of plyometrics versus overloaded eccentric training
• Periodization of training methods throughout the year
• Muscular versus fascial driven athletes

• New developments with Angus Ross
• Reactive strength and stiffness in sprinting
• Double versus single leg stiffness
• Maximal isometric or overcoming exercise versus plyometrics
• Experimenting with frequent alteration of training stimulus
• Benefits of "fascial tightness" exercises for fascial driven athletes
• How muscle driven athletes can often PR after rest periods
• Thoughts on velocity based training
• EMS and strength performance

"I'm sure stiffness from sprint data would show the same things as a single leg drop jump (athletes deficient in a single leg drop jump leak energy at maximal velocity)"

"The plyos might really develop tendon stiffness, while the longer slower contractions (i.e. supramaximal type work) still might develop some stiffness, but may also develop compliance as well"

"If I was going to periodize it, I might be doing some supramaximal eccentric work with some isometric work initially, because they marry well in addressing tendon properties, and you could do it with a small amount of plyos, and then morph until faster eccentric work, and towards plyos"

"The great coaches have the intuition to change (the emphasis of the program) when needed"

"When you got the motor patterns from 20 years of plyos in the system, they are there, if you make a change in the system, you will improve"

"What I've been doing essentially is a 4 week block on repeat, with a different week each block… for some athletes it's worked great, but other athletes don't feel like they are getting enough time on a stimulus"

"Changing the stimulus on a regular basis is a good thing…. some people it's worked really well for"

I start my day by assessing my recovery needs using the S.H.I.T. framework (Stiff, Heavy, Irritable, Tired) and implementing tailored recovery strategies.

As Peter explains:

"This framework for me is useful in a morning context or like a check-in so you can say to yourself or to athletes you work with how do I feel."

• Quickly assess my physical and mental state
• Determine the most effective recovery strategies for the day
• Adjust my training or daily activities based on my recovery status

Peter emphasizes:

"Recovery isn't what you do just after your workout it's really a lifestyle."

In this actionable masterclass, Dr. Erik Korem interviews elite researcher Peter Tierney to reveal his game-changing S.H.I.T. Recovery Framework.

You'll learn how to assess your real state of recovery across 4 key dimensions - and take science-backed action tailored to exactly where you're struggling. From pro tips for battling muscle cramps to optimizing nutrition, hydration and sleep, this episode decodes the complex world of athletic recovery into simple, personalized tactics you can apply right now - whether you're training for competition or just trying to perform your best each day.

• How to assess where you specifically need recovery help
• Precise actions to address feeling stiff, heavy, irritable or tired
• Pro tips for preventing frustrating muscle cramps
• Optimizing nutrition, hydration, sleep strategies
• Making long-term recovery an intuitive lifestyle

This routine focuses on developing eccentric strength, crucial for improving overall power output and maintaining fast-twitch fiber types. It targets the muscles' ability to absorb force quickly, essential for sprint performance.

• Emphasize the eccentric (lowering) phase of exercises
• Use slow eccentric tempos to increase time under tension
• Implement supramaximal loading for enhanced eccentric overload
• Monitor and manage fatigue levels carefully
