QUALITY TRAINING MATTERS (AND HOW I CAN HELP YOU)

Today I want to direct you to a study US strength and conditioning coach Eric Cressey wrote about about a year ago.

Let's set the scene here:

- 52 firefighters

- Split into 3 groups being movement based program (program + coaching), conventional fitness (program only and zero coaching) and control (no program or coaching)

- Pre and post the 12 week program they were tested on the usual things but they also were also tested on 5 whole body tasks not actually trained over the duration of the 12 week program

- Within these 5 tasks they looked at spine and knee motion to gauge movement quality under various conditions of slow and fast speed of movement

- The fitness and movement groups showed significant improvements in all aspects of fitness but only the movement group exhibited improvements in spine and frontal knee motion control when performing each of the 5 transfer tasks

What this shows is that QUALITY TRAINING MATTERS and how do you accomplish this?

With specific coaching.

Quality personal training outcomes are about so much more then just a program (HIIT) or even a good training environment (loud doof, doof group training) - it's also about hammering home loads of consistent high quality reps to markedly improve your CHANCES of positive movement quality.

Later this week I'll be revealing a brand new promotion never before offered by TRF where you'll have the chance to get in the ground floor so keep your eyes peeled for that bad boy!
