Today’s episode is the fulfillment of the last call for questions I put out on social media. In episode, I’ll be covering topics ranging from speed training biomechanics to trunk and core training, to periodization, so this is somewhat of an eclectic episode, which is great, as it managed to tie into many of my thoughts and beliefs that I’ve done a lot of critical work on in the last few years. There are at least a half-dozen questions revolving around vertical jumping in some form as well.

As always, the theme revolves around current trends in speed and power development, so if you want to hear my 2-cents with trends in modern sports performance, then I hope this proves an interesting listen. I’m glad somebody “set me up” because I finally get to offer some of my thoughts on the single leg Olympic lift trend that everyone was discussing on social media a while ago. Feedback on these question and answer episodes is always welcome, and I enjoy hearing what you have to say.
