In this episode, we are going to be diving into evaluation for programming. One central question we will ask is, if the testing does not impact your programming decisions, why test?

We need to find out two things: what exercises can we do and how do associate variables with them? Considerations for baseline testing are group size, how long we have to train each day and over how long of a period, and pre and post-testing or integrating into training-based testing.

Our first episode of Season 5 is all about Goal Setting. This season we will dive into advanced program design for elite athletes. This whole season will be a deep dive into programming for unique situations, not for general programming tips. Episode 1 will dive into how to bifurcate your goal setting based on larger groups and smaller groups. We will talk about setting up expectations and objectives for training. Once we know the assignment, it is our mission to execute it. If you are looking for more general tips about training, Season 3 is jam-packed with episodes going over everything from losing body fat to gaining muscle.

Season 5 starts next week, this is going to be a monster season!

We are doing a master class on program design for strength and conditioning coaches. This is not a general consumption podcast season. If you are not a strength and conditioning coach, there is probably no need to listen to this - just kidding, kinda, no not kidding at all.

Stay tuned every Tuesday for new episodes. If you are a strength coach, share with other strength coaches, and make sure to subscribe and leave a review.
