Programming for Resistance Training | Exercise Selection | CSCS Chapter 17

[@IvyBartlett]

I appreciate that you highlighted creativity when discussing training equipment, as many people tend to give up, thinking they need specific gear. In truth, you can make anything work if you're resourceful and think outside the box.

[@thomaskinzler]

I appreciate how the different exercise types are clearly laid out because this made everything so easy to see and consider. It is interesting to think about sport-specific exercises because I feel like all the chapters so far have touched on S&C but ultimately it feels very necessary to be able to pick exercises that are ideal for an athlete's sport.

[@mollytucker567]

I really appreciated the chart that highlighted different examples of movement related exercises. It helped me visualize how each movement pattern goes into each related exercise.

[@miadenava585]

It is important to choose exercises that align with the athlete's abilities, goals and sports-specific demands. Movement patterns, and progression of exercises are factors that optimize performance and prevent injuries. This video was very helpful.

[@laurenwahl9715]

Hello Dr Goodin! I liked how you explained that the more similar the training activity is to the movement, that there is a greater likelihood of being a positive transfer to that sport!

[@BrianaReynoso]

I really like that you touched on creativity when discussing training equipment because a lot of people seem to give up, thinking they need certain materials. In reality, you can make anything work as long as you get creative.

[@torilucht5871]

I loved seeing the chart on the related exercises for the different movement patterns. That was very helpful to fully understand the different ways to train athletes!

[@sarahcox-barden]

I really like the tables with the examples! It helps me get a good idea of what kinds of movements are being talked about and good ideas for the future

[@ChynnaKifer]

The way you broke down the chart about movement-related exercises was helpful! I felt like I could visualize what you were talking about and the benefits of each related exercise.

[@zoiezantua7002]

That table is super helpful for understanding what exercises help improve and master movement patterns.

[@moirabryson5042]

I really liked that you included the table with the different sport movements and which exercises can be performed to improve those movements. Thank you!

[@jackstraining]

I really like the recommendation of breaking down what the requirements of a sport are and then looking at the prerequisites for those requirements and selecting exercises based on that.

[@audreyoates3242]

Being able to work with what equipment/tools you have is so important, you have to get creative sometimes! Adapting to your environment is essential to being a good trainer. Your story is a perfect example!

[@Moniiiqueee824]

Really insightful breakdown of resistance training programming, especially the importance of exercise selection based on specific goals and the helpful tips on progression and variation

[@alannabergherm8046]

Incorporating the sport specific exercises into a program and having specificity is so important!

[@cjbuenviaje]

Your story with the rocks is a real life example of a Rocky workout. Love how it is still possible to make athletes stronger with a little bit of creativity when you do not have appropriate equipment.

[@kylesands9693]

The table with exercise examples for different movements was really helpful!

[@morganrolleri9198]

Exercise selection is so important for every different type of athlete and making sure that is an exercise that the athlete will really benefit from is so important.

[@macynunez4455]

I like the point you made about not focusing on how the movements patterns of different sports look like but rather, focusing on the kinetic and kinematic parameters involved in those specific movements and working to execute those better.

[@ryanharris8481]

I enjoyed reading the table you provided and how it included different movement patterns and the related exercises to those patterns

[@lexireynish5892]

This is such important information that I feel like a lot of my coaches and trainers in the past didn’t necessarily implement.

[@oliviadyck510]

I like how you explained the way how the more similar the training activity is to the actual sport movement, the greater the likelihood that there will be a positive transfer to that sport, and then gave us an acronym to help us remember it: the SAID concept!

[@celinegriffin3244]

I like how you pointed out that we should never assume an athlete can do a movement or can handle a movement and that we should always demonstrate and coach in order to build up the technique for the athletes to do advanced movements.

[@joyshang5670]

I really enjoyed learning about how exercise selection is very important in shaping an athlete's training and impacts their performance.

[@dereklinck2672]

Use what you have is a great example of creativity and achieving your goals no matter the obstacle. As long as employed correctly that is, great lesson programming for resistance training.

[@Adam.gates_]

Exercise Selection is one of my favorite aspects of programming. I see it as a big puzzle that can be solved many ways.

[@jakegellatlyperformance]

I think remembering the speed at which movements need to happen and force needs to be produced is a super important part of choosing exercises that will translate well to improving an athletes sport performance!

[@dimitricarrion6145]

I liked how you brought up the use of the word "core" when talking about types of exercise. I was confused when reading that in the textbook but I agree that it makes more sense to say primary instead.

[@MatthewDuPrey325]

I found this to be very useful especially when you talked about sport specific training and how when you actually train doing actions similar to your sport you are able to actually improve in your sport.

[@emilywalker9462]

Your example of barbell back squat as a primary lift versus a dumbbell goblet squat at an assistance lift was helpful visualizing and differentiating between the two. I really liked the movement pattern and related exercise table, super interesting! "Just because an exercise looks like a movement, doesn't mean it is the best exercise for training it."- Super good!

[@tianguyen3897]

I really liked looking at table 17.3 because it related exercises to sport movement patterns. That really helped my understanding of the content!

[@willhopkins4197]

I think the most important part of this video was the reminder that, "just because an exercise looks like a movement, doesn't mean it is the best exercise for training it." Super important distinction to make.

[@jakegonzales1367]

That story about your track team is probably every strength and conditioning coaches worst nightmare. But the way you adapted and made the situation that you were put in work shows how resourceful and creative great clinicians can be.

[@DevanneyBoyd]

The differentiation between exercise types was helpful, as well as the specific examples of movement-related exercises.

[@madelinejewelnebril2871]

I found the movement-related exercise table was super helpful in identifying exercises that could be beneficial for a certain movement pattern.

[@kennyvogan5673]

I think it is interesting to see there is more of a physiological side of recruiting muscle areas in the core instead of just working out the entire muscle. So much more detailed than what RT makes it out to be.

[@madelinehernandez8838]

In this video, I have learned that being creative is important. When picking an exercise it is good to make it sport-specific so there is a greater likelihood of a positive transfer to the actual sport.

[@bonez3452]

youre the man, keep up the vids, hope you channel continues to grow

[@wyattcarlson7504]

The table that included different movement patterns related to resistance training made me realize that resistance training isn't all about just lifting heavy weights, but personalizing a workout to help maximize the bodies function throughout different motions in life.

[@ameliabrock]

Excersises to promote recovery are so important! I hope bad a culture we start to de-stigmatize taking the time we need to heal, even if it’s a long time!

[@thelmasepulveda4481]

Equipment can play such an important role when building an exercise program because like you mentioned, you can design a whole program and once you arrive to the site realize you can't do all of it due to equipment. I liked the story about your track athletes and the rocks, it shows how you can still train even if your equipment isn't ideal.

[@karatemplin]

I liked the comparison of the core versus assistance exercises. I think this verbiage is something other than what I have usually heard.

[@evaozimec]

I like your point that just because an exercise looks like a movement does not mean it's the best exercise to enhance that movement.

[@braedenmoore3743]

As a future coach, I liked your story about having to be creative and spontaneous and using rocks to workout with and get stronger. I think creativity and adaptability are key aspects when coaching.

[@julianasum8481]

The most important takeaway that I received from this lecture is the SAID principle. By keeping this principle in mind, I can help athletes train more specifically to their sport.

[@aribhalla9820]

Table 17.3 was super interesting! The exercises listed for a racket stroke were most applicable to me, as a tennis player, so I'll definitely be implementing these into my training sessions.

[@strivemore]

Hey thanks for the video Dr. Goodin, was wondering, for testing for a training program, does the testing for resistance training vary a ton? Like how many different tests for 1RM are necessary to accurately determine 1RM for a sport. Example, soccer player, do they need power clean 1RM, back squat 1RM, would it change if it were a football player, and the football player does like bench press 1RM test etc. Or is it the same 1RM tests for both these types of athletes? If you have time to touch on the topic I would appreciate it. I take my retake of the applied/practical next Friday so trying to understand small things I do not quite grasp yet.

[@DrJacobGoodin]

First of all, best of luck next Friday! To answer your question, it definitely depends on the demands of the sport, level of the athlete, the season, and familiarity with the lift or test in question. American football has high strength and power requirements for both upper and lower body. It also depends on if you are using the data for monitoring changes in your athletes' abilities, or in order to prescribe 1RM-based training percentages. A player like a linebacker or fullback might do a 1RM squat, bench, and power clean to cover all their bases. A soccer player can certainly learn to power clean with great technique, but in my experience many of soccer athletes start out with very little lifting experience and so a 1RM power clean would not give me their true ability to express power. In this case I would use a trap bar squat jump for loaded power and a vertical jump for unloaded power. Some strength coaches are sticklers for getting a true 1RM on many lifts to program strict percentages, however I find that having just 2-3 lifts to track with 1RM works best and minimizes testing time and undue fatigue. Other lifts are easily programmed using RPE or RIR, and then 1RM can be estimated.

[@strivemore]

@@DrJacobGoodin You are a legend, thank you very much!!!

[@jamarmack9626]

Learning about the exercise that promotes recovery was very interesting because I didn't know that there were certain exercises that could promote recovery

[@brysonhashimoto2878]

Something that I found interesting, and is often overlooked, is the equipment that is available for the athletes to use. You can create the best program in the world, but you might not have all the necessary equipment needed in order to complete these movements.

[@caleighgarcia7792]

I think that the idea of not assuming an athlete knows specific techniques when training is very interesting. My school athletics never weight trained so I never had to think about it, but seeing how other athletes, probably some colleges, do not have their first weightlifting experience until college, this becomes an important concept.

[@ClaireStone-jq4wg]

I liked learning about the exercises that promote recovery. I feel like those typically get neglected and aren't talked about enough.

[@clairemasterson6031]

The rocks story reminded me of doing buddy carry "sprints" during training

[@austiniturbe4495]

I liked how you related basketball dribbling and a tricep pull down. If it was that easy to increase my handle, man would that be nice. So in team sports (like basketball) the priority is endurance then?

[@VirAquinoPLNU]

We should never assume that athletes know every exercise there is and that they know the proper technique in doing the movement. this I think will give coaches a good analysis on their movement and technique which can provide coaches with better understanding of what the athlete really needs.

[@abartsch0022]

I love that in how you should never assume the athlete knows how to do all the exercises and that you shouldn't keep them in the gym for hours even if they want to be there.

[@kelli-lynroche8446]

I like how you used primary exercises instead of core exercises. The term "core exercise" confused me at first when I was reading the textbook.

[@emilydonahue8216]

I love the creativity of working out with rocks haha!

[@rozalynnlarson8835]

I liked hearing about how your students used rocks for resistance training when no other equipment was provided

[@mikestatz5098]

I feel like exercises of recovery and recovery in general is very undervalued especially in younger athletes

[@matthewwadley4348]

Keeping in mind in how experienced the athlete is with certain exercises will definitely help you and them in the long run with keeping them healthy and injury free

[@emmasanchez5975]

I think it's really smart not to assume an athlete know's how to use the equipment or even assume how to perform an exercise. I also think it's really fun to be creative when it comes to making a plan baed on what you have around you.

[@NoelleDarquea]

I find it interesting, but often ignored, how important it is to have the right equipment for athletes. You can create a great training program, but it won’t work well if you don’t have the right tools to do the exercises.

[@myawilliams8357]

the thing I took away from the most is that you have to do your research or ask questions because you never know what you will have and for what you do have you have to come up with a way for it to work with your athletes.

[@SuperTroyAustin]

If an athlete only had 30 minutes to train, would you up the intensity to compensate for time?

[@REPSDirect]

The muscles involved in compound exercises are not stimulated one hundred percent because the other muscles used in that movement help it. On the other hand, isolating those muscles stimulates them completely since the efforts are independent. It seems logical this will result in faster greater strength gains, so when all the muscles trained by isolation perform a compound movement together will result in stronger results.

[@hannahb872]

i thought it was important with how you mentioned that we can't assume athletes know how to preform an exercise, we should always follow up with them on form to avoid injury

[@bojak76]

I have had weightlifting programs that didnt take into account the timer per session that the exercises would take, and the training day ends up being 3-4 hours, ugh!

[@joshuawada8783]

looks like I have to not skip leg day to stay strong!

[@lucamarin8565]

sport specific = SAID principle

[@charmenatchison854]

Man oh man...I was trained so wrong in college.

[@wyntonbrown9439]

Completely unrelated but I'm rocking with the beard lol
