control yourself with dr andreo spina

Volume has largely been viewed as an endlessly positive quality to pursue in current strength and conditioning protocols. However, “more” doesn’t alway equal “better”.

In this episode, Dr. Spina sits down with FRS Instructors John Quint and Dr. Michael Chivers to discuss programming and volume issues in training. What are the downsides of pursuing volume? Moreover, what is missing from standard-model training programs?

Topics include:

• What is strength?
• How to elicit specific endocrine responses towards building this strength.
• Training inputs and how they can be defined and categorized.
• Programming and the importance of intensity.
• Blind-spots in current approaches to clinical rehabilitation.
