How are you feeling? What questions come to your mind? Where does your mind go? Are you seeking safety? Would this have been an adrenaline rush as you raced to send the resignation response? What an "enhanced standard" regarding loyalty and trustworthiness was? What are these new "enhanced standards?" Are they beyond what my Constitutional oath requires? If I don't resign, how bright will the target on my back glow? My leadership has supported all my work, but would termination direction come from higher up the chain of command? What would you recommend if we talked over coffee? What questions would you ask? How would you use listening? How would you use silence? How is this scenario playing out in your mind and body? What is coming to the surface for you? How might that influence what you are about to say to me? What are the chances of my name popping on a list and getting fired? How about the chances of being part of an official Reduction in Force and early retirement? Would the administration make a better offer? What do I know about the pending job market? What did I expect the workplace to be like and did I want to be there as the contractions took place? Will the administration pay me through the end of September or will they renege? Can I sufficiently build the Curated Questions business to transition by 1 October? - Do I have the faith or confidence to step into this future as a sole practitioner and grow Curated Questions into all I envisioned? Was this purpose calling? What would I expect the job market to look like at the end of summer if I hadn't developed the income streams to maintain our lifestyle? What is your recommendation? Did it change from your initial recommendation? Where in your body are you feeling the uncertainty? Are you processing this scenario in parallel with your decision as if you had received the email? What additional questions should I have considered? Who else should I have consulted with? How would you have changed my risk rating? What is the correct length of the pregnant pause before making an important announcement? What processes would you use in my circumstance, and what would be different? What questions are at the top of your list to get to a decision? Who would be the members of your pantheon you would counsel with to gain clarity? Apart from the heady analysis, what other key practices would you include in your journey through a similar situation?…

Today on The Barbell Life Podcast, we were joined by, Dr. Mike Lane, Associate Professor in the Department of Exercise and Sport Science at Eastern Kentucky University. He can also deadlift 751 pounds, so he's not just smart. Today we discussed long term athletic development. We discussed the best way to set expectations: What's your goal? Where are you currently in relation to where you need to be? Train for a few months and see how much progress you make as well as get an idea of what to expect. At that point you will have the information to decide if you're working with a genetically gifted athlete, fast responder, hard gainer, or a combination. The athlete will have time to see what the training is going to be like, and then they can decide if they're willing to put in the work required to get where they want to be. Mike also discussed a brilliant idea of helping an athlete that isn't cut out for a particular sport in finding something that they could excel in. I think we need more of this in America.We discussed how we both fit into the long term development plan in our original decisions to powerlift. We were in two different sectors and yet both of us became elite. Mike believes: Here's what gets you 80% of the way: Consistency Training hard After that, you will need solid individualized programming to get you as far as you are genetically capable.Our Black Friday Specials are closing out on Sunday, so don't miss out: 60% Off Mash EBook Bundles https://www.mashelite.com/product-category/bundles/ 40% Off Mash Online Coaching https://www.bridgeathletic.com/store/blackfridayspecialsforteammasheliteperformance-1629 35% Mash Courses Bundle on Stronger Experts https://www.strongerexperts.com/offers/4fEXiLmN/checkout?coupon_code=MASHCYBERMONDAY…

In this episode of The Barbell Life Podcast, we look to determine if the movements found within Olympic weightlifting are beneficial for improving athletic performance. To start with, we take a closer look at power explaining that power is the combination of speed and strength. We answer the question regarding "Is the expression of power, found when one performs a power clean, going to actually improve power production?" Take a deep dive into power and how to improve: Improving Power Production in Athletes https://gymaware.com/improving-power-production-in-athletes/ We also discuss tests for athletes that help determine how much time an athlete should spend expressing power, using speed strength, and/or getting stronger. We also look at the monitoring of these ongoing tests to ensure athletes are trending properly. We discuss the following tests: Dynamic Strength Index and you can take a deep dive at GymAware here: https://gymaware.com/practical-uses-for-the-dynamic-strength-index/ We discuss the different types of weightlifting exercises and their derivatives to improve specific athletic qualities like starting strength, RFD, acceleration, and reactive ability. Is Olympic weightlifting and the derivatives good for cognitive performance? We look at different ways of measuring the Olympic weightlifting movements and derivatives other than just maximum increases. We intended for this podcast to give you tools to apply to your current programs to stimulate specific adaptations to maximize the human performance of all of your athletes.
