ADAPTIVE TRAINING FOUNDATION’s Post

Every time I teach the deadlift, a particular question comes up: whether to perform “stop reps” or “touch and go” reps during sets. I tackle this topic in my article—Deadlift: To Stop or To Go: https://lnkd.in/dV42V_F9 #deadlift #barbell #strengthtraining #mondaymotivation #asmr

2024 NSCA National Conference Excited to be speaking next week at the 2024 National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) National Conference in Baltimore, MD! I'll be presenting a hands-on workshop on Wednesday (July 10th) on 'Deceleration & Landing: Building The Brakes' at 4pm-5:50pm. This hands-on workshop will help you: 1.) Build a better understanding and improve your ability to coach, program and execute these athletic performance skills: deceleration, force absorption and landing. 2.) Develop sound exercise selection and training program design strategies through critical thinking. 3.) Review and apply practical weight room (strength and power) and field/court (change-of-direction and reactive agility) progressions and regressions. I hope to see you there!

Practicing what I preach. I’m not training for anything in particular. I just have a goal in mind to be strong, healthy and to see small and regular improvements. This can be said for a lot of the population. As great as it would be to be the best at something, using other people as your benchmark can be tiring and somewhat stressful. Set your current ability as your foundation and aim to build on that, your progress will be much more satisfying and future goal setting much more realistic. I offer this approach to all in-person and online clients. If your or your organisation needs a healthy shake-up, give me a shout.

Can ‘Self-Compassion’ really help athletes and coaches with performance? The long and the short of it is: 100% Yes. The Father of Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Paul Gilbert talks about three components to our emotion regulation system: 1.    The Drive System – key to motivation 2.    The Threat System – key to protecting ourselves   3.    The Soothing System – key to managing anxieties and stress For many of us as human beings and for many of the athletes I work with The drive system and the threat system are overactive While our soothing system is under-developed and under-used. Self-compassion is at the heart of developing our capacity to self-soothe. This provides balance to our drive and threat systems and is hugely beneficial in many aspects of sporting life. Check out Dan Abrahams, Danielle Cormier, Ph.D. and @ Kent Kowalski for a great expert insight into this: https://lnkd.in/d_P6sF4q    hello@padraigcotter.com https://lnkd.in/d5CxMhnN
