The smallest progression is likely the best one.

Because it’s sustainable. If you hit a massive PR, it’s cool but often there’s a cost for a few sessions.

As I’ve matured as a lifter and coach, small progressions are more cool.

This summer marks my 19th year preparing college athletes for their competitive season. This week I took some time to reflect on that. Below are 19 lessons learned from 19 teams.

@GWhelanSpSci @Joeingles7 @VicInstSport Thanks Gem!

[Nathan Lee @NathanAndyLee]

An absolute pleasure to have worked with @Joeingles7. An elite individual in all facets of life 🏀👨‍👩���👧‍👧. No wonder why Joe has been smashing it for years and no doubt will continue to do so in Milwaukee and at the @Bucks !

[Victorian Institute of Sport @VicInstSport]

Victorian Institute of Sport (@VicInstSport) staff members @stevehawkinspt (Manager, Physiotherapy & STT) & Nathan Lee (S&C Coach) have been assisting @Joeingles7 with his rehab whilst he's been in Melbourne. We wish Joe well on his return back to the court with the @Bucks!

Just the fact that a certain load maximizes power output doesn’t mean that load is “optimal”. I wish that doing an incremental load to determine Pmax were the holy grail, but it’s not! There is no such thing as one size fits all in performance.

[Nathan Lee @NathanAndyLee]

@SPRINT_ACU @suzanna_russell @theAIS That's outstanding. Congrats @suzanna_russell. All the best with the position Suzy.

@PatrickOwenPhD @Callum_Twaddell @KatsuFunai Frankly I'm most interested in the relationship between grip style and performance. Still unsure if I should adopt the #monkeygrip

[Peter Culhane @PeteCulhane]

Credit must go to the @the_ASCA and the Women's Advisory Group for initiating the second year of mentoring programs for female S&C coaches. It is an honour to be involved in trying to rectify the inequality!

@selwynosteo @darrenburgess25 Congrats Selwyn. All the best with it.

[Nathan Lee @NathanAndyLee]

Once again, @NickWinkelman sharing thought stimulating content. Thanks.

[Nick Winkelman @NickWinkelman]

Thread: To cue or not to cue? Is that the question?

I believe we owe it to the broader coaching community to consider the merit of what appears to be a growing tension between instructional (verbal) and constraint-led (non-verbal) approaches to coaching. 1/19

A foam roller, normaTec or theragun will never replace the power of high quality sleep, nutrition and hydration.

Recovery is a physiological process not a piece of equipment.

[Peter Harrison @PeterHarrisonAU]

Looking forward to this one being published in @IJSPPjournal. Our first lab study looking at the time course of responses following high load and moderate load priming exercise 🏋🏽‍♂️ @DocLachJames Mike McGuigan, David Jenkins, Robert Schuster and @VinceKellySport

@reecepotter 🙌🙌

[Nathan Lee @NathanAndyLee]

@PeteCulhane Late reply, but thanks heaps for the words Pete. Best part was to see what it meant for the players!

[Nathan Lee @NathanAndyLee]

Honoured to be involved with this amazing team! https://t.co/6UIQEzZjCN

@aaron_s_fox Bugger! Will be following keenly! Good luck with whatever it is!

The boys starting their hip isometric progressions today. Intro was 4 x 10s holds- no load. We’ll get to loaded hip iso-switches and iso-catches in due course #isometrics

[Nathan Lee @NathanAndyLee]

@LyndellBruce @Deakin_ExSc Which campus are you based at? I was just at Burwood last week to catch up with a few old peers! Would have been good to say hi to you!
