The Formula For Power in Sport

[@MK-ev6ov]

Man you got me with the Tyson clickbait

[@MatChronicles]

This channels a gold mine for S&c information

[@jon.a]

Thank you for making this, I have a hard time trying to explain periodization to others.... I've heard someone say something like "we must train to train" or rather we must train this way in order to train to compete.

Footage of Daru and Pierre came up at a very convenient point in this video 😏

[@lotsofcashonrs]

loving the soothing background sounds from 5:40

[@tariqo16]

Yes this type of videos and fitz rants about programming are the best of sika content for me

[@paulsohns3930]

Deja Vu. Im sure this was a topic in a livestream. Glad you made a seperate video.

[@TheIncredibleFlyingSausage]

Nicely done

[@freakied0550]

Me: * reads Science of Sports Training: How to Plan and Control Training for Peak Performance by Thomas Kurz* Sika lads: just watch this video m8

[@harambe1596]

Sika lads, what do you do weith the hypertrophie/strength endurance phase for weighted sport categories like boxing? You want to optimise body composition, but not make it tougher to make weight at the same time

[@AndrogenReceptor01]

Lads please do a video on armwrestling…would love your insights

[@kfireliaz1285]

Great video!

[@kamenyanev3124]

I really like your breakdown, I wanted to ask what you think of doing plyos and olympic lifts and throws etc. in phase 1 together with the hypertrophy - I currently follow a hypertrophy + speed/power phase 1, max strength + alactic capacity phase 2 and lactic capacity with maintenance of strength phase 3 for BJJ/grappling.

[@sikastrength]

Mmmm I would wonder how muchax strength you would obtain on phase 1. If the phase is long enough then you should be okay. Concurrent training is fine as long as you make sure that you place an emphasis on more of 1 apsect per phase

[@47pricey]

I want a general hypertrophy program

[@paulleclaire8252]

What age/sports should young athletes be enrolled in to develop power? Track and field?

[@danielghesquiere2011]

My concern lately is how to do we get from phase 1 - 3 as fast as possible to make sure we bring what we create with us to our peaking cycle. 16 week blocks seem a little counterintuitive for non-field athletes.

[@Gainzster]

If you were say a sprinter, but had low leg muscle mass, would you take 3-6 months off of heavy sprinting training, prioritise lifting to gain LBM on the legs specifically then return or would you do both?

[@josephparkes6412]

Is there whistling in the background?

[@horizonforevergold]

I ask that question everyday

[@Yyyyyyyyyyyy86]

Yeah quite distracting wasn't it? Odd choice of back ground.

[@aliboy4366]

Background music nearly caused me to have a stroke

[@MK-ev6ov]

God of war music!

[@studybuddy7060]

dW/dt = Power!!!!

[@DoremiFasolatido1979]

F=MA The end.

[@RockyTucsonPaik]

Except for chess 😂😂

[@notreallyzekai3474]

This formula is completely arbitrary. It is a cop out to say athletes that don't fit this formula are "genetic outliers" The way to develop power depends on the sport and how you define power in that sport. The only objective fundamental truth is Power = Force x Velocity. Depending on sport and athlete, hypertrophy phase is not always necessary, unless it is a limiting factor. In sports like T&F, training maximal strength is useless WITHOUT doing fast things at the same time.
