Many years of TrainingPeaks data from top cyclists I have worked with show a consistent pattern: ~40–60% of the best 5, 10 and 20 min power outputs were achieved during training in individually prescribed HIIT sessions ~40–60% occur during races. In simple terms: -Zone 2 builds the mitochondrial engine. -HIIT adds the glycolytic turbo. Both bioenergetic stimuli must coexist in a training plan of competitive and recreational athletes. No engine ➡️ the turbo blows up. This is why the Zone 2 vs HIIT debate is futile. It was never either/or. If you want a deeper explanation: 👇 inigosanmillan.substack.com/p/zone-2-vs-hi…

Longevity isn't about avoiding hard work, it's about doing the right hard work early and often.

Nick Saban with one of the best definitions of self-discipline: (🎥@Elitesportsos)

Health and longevity is just as much mental/psychological as it is physical   They are NOT mutually exclusive   It doesn’t matter if your bloodwork is “perfect”, you have low toxin/microplastic/pfas/aspca levels, or you have a high VO2 max/are strong/have a high amount of muscle If you are fn weak mentally you’re not going to last long Drive Purpose Confidence Time with family Being battle tested Support from loved ones ALL are just as important to your health and “longevity” as your fitness, body comp, and internal markers are And THAT can NEVER be measured by a “biological age” calculator

The ref just said “the fans ain’t paying to see this crap” to Jake Paul and AJ 😭

understanding and integrating principles from all of them. Every athlete in our system sprints, but not all in the same way, or at the same volume or frequency. We adjust based on sport, position, and individual need. What doesn’t change is that exposure to speed work remains

strength coaches were doing it. Buddy was. What I’ve always taken from him is the idea that good coaching borrows from every discipline…track and field for mechanics and speed, powerlifting for strength, bodybuilding for hypertrophy/nutrition. You build complete athletes by

@pbasilstrength CHART

An example form my training max estimate and percentage quick reference chart. I use this to adjust maxes on the spot without testing. Would this be helpful to you? If enough coaches want this I'll make it available to download. Comment "CHART" below if you're interested.

Strength coach probably spends most time around athletes in the most difficult situations, if they have an opinion everyone should listen.

@pbasilstrength Squat

“How do you progress the Squat?” It's one of the most common questions I get I have a free guide on my yearly squat progression for you I use this to crush PRs with athletes and in my own training Comment “SQUAT” below and I’ll DM it to you

@MarkBennett07 That makes sense. Thanks Mark 🫡👊

@Gar_Beer7 Personally no, I maintain the block focus into the season, with only a reduction in volume. It’s difficult to tell peak the end of the season if you’ve been operating at a maintenance level for months on end. x.com/markbennett07/…

Typical structure of team sports gym session. Max force lower body Jump exercise Superset upper push and pull Some unilateral work and a “finisher” Enough work to create fatigue not enough direction to drive adaptation!!!

Never go full Bosch Never go full PRI Never go full Dietz Never go full Poliquin And so on Never go so far in on an approach it’s the only approach.

Thread. Interesting statistic: Since 1957, 72% of Tour de France victories have been achieved by riders implicated in doping scandals. 💊 These riders and their infractions are listed below. 👇

@HowellsDan Send thanks Dan!

This week we launch a number of free guides on: - principles for Data skills - principles for Rehab - principles for LTAD - principles for High Performance Reply "send" and ill get the first one over to you (Rehab) this week!

You need pressure. Setting a deadline to force you to work, investing in your business to force you to make money, or booking the flight to force you to make a change. Take the risk. Because that's not as risky as a comfortable, boring life.

Inspire Action Without Coercion Great leaders rally people around a shared vision of a future that they can all build towards. They connect through narrative and imagination, not orders. They inspire, rather than dictate.
