GUEST SPEAKER: James “Smitty” Smith

LESSON: AGELESS ATHLETE TRAINING SYSTEM

GOOD COACH – Effective session to how well the client is moving and understands 90% of what is written for the workout won’t be what the client does

OVERVIEW – FOUNDATIONS 1-4

1. Quality of Movement
2. Programming Strategies
3. Advanced Program Design
4. Advanced Program Model Applying the Ageless Athlete Ageless Athlete is for EVERYONE!


MISSION - Training longevity, Improved Durability, Establishing a movement reserve, Making light weights feel heavy, Do no harm Strength training makes the body rigid.

GOAL - Continued Progression & Training Longevity, Quality of Movement TRUMPS everything

How do we create a great training effect – getting stronger and building muscle – with submaximal weight?

Movement = P + ROM + DMC Movement = Position (alignment) + Range of Motion (pattern) + Dynamic Motor Control (stability)

CPPS CRITERIA MODEL – 2 Criteria - Janda’s UCS/LCS, JBJ Model (Joint by Joint)

ESSENTIALS QUESTIONS OF WHERE TO START - What is tight? What is weak? Where is the poor “loaded” movement?

Poor movement = either a technique issue, a weakness or a restriction

BIGGEST PROBLEMS - Address these weak & tight issues, Position, Range of Motion, Dynamic Motor Control (DMC)

STRATEGIES – Powerbuilding (powerlifting + body building), 100% Maximum Effect (ME) => 90% of 1 RM, Slow & Steady Progression (Load vs Quality vs Variety), 3-4 Week Wave

GOAL – Position, Full ROM w/o pain, Stability/DMC, Capacity, Durability, Program across of Movement Competency Continuum

MOVEMENT COMPETENCY CONTINUUM HOW TO MODIFY INTENSITY AGELESS ATHLETE:

1) CPPS 2) PATTERN 3) MOBILIZE 4) ACTIVATE 5) STRENGTH TRAINING 6) AGELESS ATHLETE PROTOCOLS

QUESTIONS:

Tom Langton: Trying to squeeze so much into the assessment process, and you discussed a 3-part assessment. What do you think is the most important stuff to hit during the assessment?
