When coaching athletes in the gym, it’s about fitting the exercises to them. E.g. A barbell with plates on it, is an arbitrary height off the ground. Athletes are under no obligation to deadlift from that position. Some athletes might have no issue deadlifting from the floor, with a straight bar, but for others you might need to raise the height of the bar, others might be better off using a trap bar and for some athletes, deadlifts might not be the best option for them. Remember, we’re chasing adaptations. It’s about finding the best ways to get those adaptations, for each individual athlete. #strengthandconditioning #strengthandconditioningcoach

There is a recurring topic in sports- and fitness-related media around 'real-world’, ‘functional’ strength, ‘athleticism’, and how well certain exercises ‘translate’ into performance in 'the field'. Here is my take on this. Unless you intent to compete in Olympic weightlifting or powerlifting, your goal is not to increase the result in specific movements per se, but to use weight training as an tool to improve your performance in a specific sports. In the majority of sports you need to produce power repeatedly over an extended period of time. Depending on the athletic discipline, it can be minutes, dozens of minutes, or hours, not certainly not seconds and fractions of seconds. Therefore, if your ultimate goal is to improve performance in such a sport, it doesn’t matter whether you can lift a certain weight (even if it's a very large one) for 1 rep with a half-hour rest afterwards. You should be able to do 20, 30, 50 or more reps for 3, 4, 5, or more sets with short rest-times. Want ‘real-world’ strength? Do more reps and sets.
