Metabolic Power Training for MMA
SLAM!!! The empty Mountain Dew can hit the table. “What’s that?” yelled Dave Tate. I instinctively reached for my wallet. It was an empty can, and Dave was thirsty. And pissed. I was wrong (not entirely because Dave was thirsty and pissed), but that wasn’t his point.By Alwyn Cosgrove

Training Comes Full Circle
“Before I learned the art, a punch was just a punch and a kick just a kick. After I learned the art, a punch was no longer a punch and a kick no longer a kick. Now that I understand the art, a punch is just a punch and a kick is just a kick.” —Bruce Lee I spoke with Jim Wendler of EliteFTS.com about programs last year. Jim is of the position that all programs suck because most Elite lifters don’t have more than an inkling of what they are going to do when they go into the gym. They know it’s a lower body day, but they aren’t sure if they are going to work up to a 5RM, a 3RM, or a heavy single. If they feel good, they’ll take a short rest period between sets. If they feel tired, they’ll rest longer. They may not even be sure what exercise they are going to do. They definitely don’t know how many sets they are going to do or what other exercises they may or may not do.By Alwyn Cosgrove

Training Economy
When it comes to strength and sports—and how to increase strength for those sports—most of the information out there is about sports such as football, powerlifting, basketball, and hockey. But what about the lesser known sports such as cheerleading, figure skating, and dance?By Alwyn Cosgrove

Inside the Ring: Inside the Mind of a Fighter
I guess I can begin by saying how wrong I was and how I took our Q&A staff for granted. I know EliteFTS has the best training team on the planet. Yes, this is a very cocky statement, but do me one favor here. Go find another site that has some of the best lifters in the world keeping training logs and answering questions, one with some of the best sport performance coaches in the world with athletic numbers to support it and some of the best trainers in the world with client results that are unmatched. While you’re at it, try to find some of the best strength coaches in the world with decades of experience. And finally, make sure they’ve all excelled at what they do both personally and professionally. You’ll find NOTHING close.By Alwyn Cosgrove

Bringing the Pendulum Back to Center, Part II
It is often said by futurists (those who study the past to predict the future) that there is an over-reaction to most new concepts in the short term, yet an under-reaction in the long term. We can all come up with countless examples of it – the high carb trend of a few years ago – which has become the zero carb trend recently.By Alwyn Cosgrove

Top Ten Training Tips for Athletic Conditioning Success
The IRON-ic rule of strength training for sport: The objective is not to get stronger per se but to improve athletic performance to build better athletes. If your sport is powerlifting then that means improving your total. If your sport is mixed martial arts that means you must improve your ability in the ring. It’s important for the coach and the trainee to focus on improving sports performance. I’ve seen several football teams over the years that have the 405 Bench Press Club featured on the wall but are 0-20 for the season!By Alwyn Cosgrove
