@CoachAVogel Thanks. We use Ovr vbts I’ve never used power or ttpp and I’m hoping to learn more about how/when to use it.

@TommyB_K Which incline/restatance/time are you using for gear 4?

[Coach Lyons @CoachLyons73579]

@TFConsortium I see how training atp-pc improves our power output, max V etc. I also see how aerobic capacity is important and is trained. If someone’s glycoltic “capacity” improved what improvements would we see? Where would this show up in a sport like football?

1 CAP. 2 CAP. DELETE. SWIPE.

Stop chasing defenders. Start eliminating decisions.

R4 VR Swipe Scans train QBs to recognize the 1 Cap / 2 Cap Principle, delete capped route space, and redirect their eyes to the next best option.

Faster processing starts with faster elimination.

[Coach Lyons @CoachLyons73579]

@kurt13warner Kurt, you have to check out R4 virtual reality training for QBs. My sophomore qb has benefited so much from it. @CoachDubMaddox

Well said

A good example here of methods before principles.

Your zone 2 work doesn’t have to be running. Bike, elliptical, stair climber, incline walk, rucking are all examples of other methods to achieve a zone 2 stimulus.

It also highlights the differentiation between energy system development (ESD) and conditioning. ESD is general to physiology, conditioning is task specific.

The way to condition to throw 100 pitches in an outing is through a gradual pitch count build up - this naturally occurs in almost all throwing programs. There’s a reason most pitchers stay around 75-80 pitches on opening day.

ESD supplies the underlying structural and physiological changes to support conditioning when the time comes. They are often used interchangeably, but are not the same.

For pitchers specifically, even 1-2 hours of zone 2 per week can have significant benefits with limited to no downside. It’s not fatigue inducing at that intensity or volume, and there is no interference effect - that is a lazy cop out.

Lifting with your HR always above 100 potentially erodes the training stimulus you are able to get from lifting itself. Simply put, you can’t lift heavy enough without sufficient rest. Lifting itself is a lever that moves the needle more early in a career than an MLB veteran, so Trevor’s case is very different from a high schooler.

TLDR: Running is only one method of zone 2 work. Doesn’t work for you? Don’t include it in training. Conditioning and energy system development are not the same. Both have a place in training. Turning lifting into ESD may dampen the adaptations of your lifting.

@ZacGoodman_ What distances are you using on the shredmill?

[Coach Lyons @CoachLyons73579]

@ChaseDaniel They spend 8 months getting tons of reps with no rush and perfect conditions. I think it has made the kicking game so much better. But they need to experience the stress of being rushed. And most teams are not getting enough live reps for their kickers.

@PaceNSpace2 Basically pop RPO out of 10p

[Coach Lyons @CoachLyons73579]

@theqbschool From an NFL perspective that makes sense. For our high school team we run it at 10-12 and it’s been high % 3rd & long for us against quarters. Probably my favorite concept right now.

@AccelerationPro What is reactive lights agility?

[Coach Lyons @CoachLyons73579]

@pbasilstrength We’ve been running two 30 into 10 s on Monday and three 5 into 10s on Weds. we’re not really hitting max V on Weds. what would you think about one 30/10 and two 5/10s on both days instead? Or just stick with one max V one accel.

@critical_reload How do you recommend we cue it and “measure” it? Very true kids don’t respond well to vague messages.

[Coach Lyons @CoachLyons73579]

@jamesmoses2k Did you attempt the 3rd rep for each set?

[Coach Jared Rolfes @jaredrolfesFB]

The older I get, the more I understand…

Why Jesus talked so much about humility.

Why forgiveness matters.

Why Scripture warns us about pride.

Why obedience matters when nobody is watching.

Why You can have everything and still feel empty.

In the end..

Jesus is enough!

@Challenger_ST Where do you fit this kind of stuff in? Before or after you’re heavy strength work?
