I changed playback speed to 1.25 and Hayden sounded normal. Great vid, keep them coming.

Interesting discussion though I struggled to understand what was different. Eg 4-6 reps at 80-90% is standard for focus on strength gains. (Worth you trying to get on Andy Galpin who is fantastic on strength / power / hypertrophy). What seemed to be a bit different was some exploratory lifting movements to help understand how we use our muscles better and mind-muscle coordination which can support strength gains. Have I got that right? Thanks.

Happy to clear things up for you.

I respect Dr. Galpin but I’ll be writing an essay taking a critical look at his work this week from a biological and psychological perspective. One critical area lacking in his work is the complexity of motor learning. His focus on muscle fiber types is often criticized in the field (and championed by many as well). He also uses advanced tech to find “objective data” to make decisions which is rarely possible for the vast majority of athletes like cyclists.

@@hayden.l.mitchell interesting, thanks. Would be interested to see a synopsis of your critique on KZbin too.

[@hayden.l.mitchell]

@@jeremyleake6868 Right on. It is my aim to create a lot more longform content starting this week. Initially I’ll likely read from an essay I’ve written (will post on Substack) interjecting relevant stories and context as needed. I’ll also begin a podcast soon bringing on various practitioners spanning kinesiological disciplines.

17 mins in and no idea what is being discussed here 😅

Ecological Approach to Training. Requires lateral thinking and an open mind. I approach coaching through a biopsychosocial constraints led approach underpinned by ecological dynamics and associated theoretical frameworks along with exploratory and well defined training systems. Happy to clear things up for you if you want to schedule a call.

The guest is super boring. Great topic, but he lacks good communication skills.

[@hayden.l.mitchell]

Can’t win over everyone. Take care.
