"...on Monday when you're really fresh." I must be living a different version of Mondays than you, haha

[@FitNerdz]

Great video! The way you talk and present, reminds me of Jeremy Ethier😅

[@applecideriscool9455]

Love these videos

[@sagivr]

Hey Matt, thanks again! Just wanted to make sure: Do you train a little bit of power on your strengh day and vice versa? Or are they fully focused on one aspect per workout?

[@roblo2526]

Great Video as always, but I’m a bit confused. Isn’t periodisation about focusing on one goal AFTER the other? Like I understood your advice now a not professional athlete should use all different energy systems every week and test one specific lift every 4 weeks. And after 3 months the testing exercise changes but the over all microcycle stays the same? This to me seams more like an over all approach to training rather then an approach to periodisation. I honestly can’t grasp what it has to do with periodisation at all. Please help me understand. 😅

Could you do jumps and sprints before every session or just the power sessions

[@mattfreedom2002]

Could do jumps every session and just focus on different jump qualities - short vs fast SSC, extensive plyos vs max intent, etc. But sprints every session might be overkill and the fatigue would likely inhibit progress of other qualities throughout the week.

How to add sports training and avoid injury from overuse injuries

[@deejayr201]

Sorry if I missed it but what would you change during the sporting season? This seems a lot for the everyday athlete when you have to squeeze in training sessions and match day.

[@pepitolacaca7844]

I coach of mine used to say "off season training is for developing and built new skills, and in season training is for manifesting those skills"

[@yoloswaggins5385]

Wht the above guy said is perfect do what you need to do in season to keep all the skills you gained and hone them but have enough rest and or active recovery time/days to where your not worn out but perform at current peak on gamedays. Active recovery days mean you still do lightwork like dynamic stretching yoga light cardio etc to keep your body going but not so much it taxes your performance the next day

[@romibalderama]

Hi! What if I will do a training program 4x a week for ex: Monday: Strength Tuesday: Power Thursday Strength Friday: Power Would this be a safe approach?

[@yoloswaggins5385]

It would be super optimal and fantastic… safe? Probably not you might throw out your lower back L4 hernited disc but other than that yeah great idea

[@JamieHaleyy]

Might be better to go the other way around. I think powerful movements (less controlled) are more likely to cause injury. Do the more dangerous stuff (power) when you're less fatigued

[@mattfreedom2002]

Safe is totally relative. Max intensity on each of those days for a total beginner? Likely not safe. For someone who's been training for years, yeh totally ok. Look into the concept of progressive overload. As long as you're progressive and lsitening to your body, you'll be fine.

[@memos106]

​​@@mattfreedom2002 For the information in the video applicable for Old people? How should the approach be

[@KhalilYusofAmil]

How do I schedule lifting with tennis? I practice tennis 3 times a week but I also want to gain muscle.

[@yoloswaggins5385]

Keep lifting and tennis can be your “cardio” eat just enough to be in a caloric surplus and youll gain lean bodymass actually sounds pretty ideal i try to do the same thing but with jiu jitsu instead my problem is im not barely in a caloric surplus im way way too much surplus therefore im kinda fat but im getting way stronger really fast

[@sebastiancordovez273]

Is one day of plyometrics enough and are 10 m flys so dangerous to the hamstring

[@mattfreedom2002]

Danger is relative. Look into the concept of progressive overload.

[@georgepnf8596]

Hi Matt!!! Heavy walkout hold?

[@TheMovementSystem]

Basically putting more than your 1RM squat on the bar and walking out and holding it. It's in preparation for testing 1RM back squat.

[@dingerero]

What is an everyday athlete, sir?

[@beegdigit9811]

Everyone who isn't an anyday athlete. But for real, he covered it in first 10 secs

[@ItsKaylaOliver]

A person who’s actively training that’s not a professional athlete

[@dingerero]

Thanks guys.

[@IlyaStre]

Dont have to be on a team be an athlete, competition can exist internally and we challenge ourselves as sport to pass time(play) for example i really want to learn how to kickflip a skateboard, its not some impressive feat that would make me the typical “athlete” on media but the pursuit of learning or achievement of a physical task is still a competition, you are challenging yourself and your Athletic ability

[@yoloswaggins5385]

Im not an athlete today unless i go to martial arts training therefore i was only an athlete yesterday and avg being a 3 day a week athlete i cant claim everyday status this video isnt for me. Even if i count working out i still take off days every other week or so

[@parveenjangra1312]

Hii mattt i am from India , can you make a vedio in Hindi language if possible?

[@mattfreedom2002]

I don't think this guy speaks Hindi 😂
