TUNGKOL SA EPISODE NA ITO
The weight room isn't just a place to build muscle. It's a battlefield where psychology meets physical adaptation — and most coaches are losing because they're coaching numbers instead of people.
Dr. Justin Lima joins Dave Tate at the elitefts compound to dismantle the myth of "optimal" training and explain why giving athletes a stimulus they aren't prepared for can rob them of long-term development.
From scaling Strength Coach Network to his PhD research on reactive force development, Lima connects elite-level sport science with the reality of coaching in the trenches.
INSIDE THE EPISODE:
• Why coach-to-athlete communication is disappearing in favor of technology • The "Robbing Twice" principle and how advanced methods can ruin future adaptation • Using HRV and readiness metrics as conversation starters — not command centers • The political realities of collegiate strength coaching vs. private sector performance • How to transition from institutional coaching to business ownership • Implementing max effort methods in team sports without wrecking practice schedules
