Gotta make do with what is available for that day. Normally I wouldn’t use a smith machine but it is what it is. Auto-regulation is a crucial skill for the success of any coach.

Had a kid and haven’t trained consistently in over a year. Looking to get back to boxing though. Still losing the extra weight from pregnancy, but I’m noticing that I’m slower than ever and real heavy on my feet. Anyone got any advice/drills/etc to help see more improvement?

Peace and blessings everyone, im a new Personal Trainer. Looking to build my knowledge and understanding in training and coaching all skill levels. If its the Fathers will, even start my own online and maybe in-person coaching business.

I know all of us do field assessment to just look at performance markers. I’m curious to know what you guys think about laboratory assessments for performance markers and how useful that information may be to you and when you could do that information. For context that would be things like using a metabolic cart for a VO2 max assessment or other metabolic assessments, motion capture cameras for biomechanical assessments, and any kind of force measurement tool for things like total force measure for rate force development. Do any of you do any of that or use data like that that has been handed to you for programming?

This is easily one of my favorite variations of a squat today we’re trying to hit a heavy single and it’s one of a few times that the percentages of the program were off and he was able to pull two reps when he was supposed to do one. It’s always a welcome surprise.. stay strong
