    As an Athletic Trainer who works in sports medicine I appreciate that Mike points out the difference between an athletic trainer and a strength and conditioning specialist and/or personal trainer. Our title indicates medical training, certification, and licensure and unfortunately often gets co-opted by personal trainers wanting to sound more official. While we are educated in the science behind effective training and sport performance we like to leave that realm to specialists like Mike while we focus on getting athletes recovered from their injuries

      I think Mike is a proponent of the two factor model. Which basically means that strength and conditioning are Its own thing and sports training is its own thing. There’s not really a need to sido sorts specific training in most cases. Usually being as strong and fit as possible just makes you a better athlete and then training your sport by itself makes you better at the sport. Trying to compromise the two is getting worst of both worlds

      Periodization is a science in itself, and I'm confident Mike knows that.

    I'm glad you brought up stiffness after systemic fatigue doctor Mike. Yesterday while attempting a warmup on a conventional, I found that I had trouble getting into position, something that I worked hard on years prior to cement. I know that I am still close to my peak fatigue, so understanding that the stiffness is another indication of fatigue is actually a super helpful tool for me to judge if I'm doing too much volume again.

    It would be interesting to see your take on LeBron's high school and early career training methods. I can't remember the name of the documentary, but watching his high school coaches and trainers at the time, he was lucky to have some really knowledgable people in his corner that I think in some ways was conducive to him being as bulletproof as he was in his career.
    Everything seemed to be focused on hip extension, hip health and core work. A good mixture of static type work and explosive power generating movements. I think a lot of athletes suffer later in their careers because they start this too late, generally have these "celebrity trainers" that make them do convoluted BS, and it catches up to them.
    Bron's fortunate to have had these guys build the most important factor for any athlete. Hips and core.

      Probably likes him alot more than most of the trainers in these videos. Guessing he would appreciate that Kneesovertoes guy promotes alot of large ROM movements with an emphasis on the stretch under load and high degree of control.
      Not sure he'd love the staple ATG split squat where the front foot heel comes off the ground, as Dr Mike has talked repeatedly about how this increased instability reduces force output thus reducing the overall effectiveness of the exercise. But even with that, I'm sure he'd like it alot more than doing 30 mins of bear crawl and spiderman thingys before every workout.

    As an NBA fan for many years and a personal trainer and physical therapist, I've watched as many workout videos of NBA players as I could find. LeBron's (and many other ballers) workouts are a lot about show boating and fancy "core" stuff with far from always a good transition onto on court stuff in my opinion. Having said that, the core engagement is still somewhat important, but a lot of players tend to take the creativity too far and shy away from just plane simple stength training with dumbbells and barbells, even body weight exercises. Looking at many of the players lateral delts, I'd say they probably didn't get those from doing those exercises nor good genetics or eating beef 6 times per day;)

      from what I can gather it is only useful for supremely active people like David Goggins.
      This most likely include high level athletes but basically any gym bros would be wasting their time stretching. Do some kind of mobility or yoga routine once a week if you want to do it. More importantly you should be fixing muscle imbalances if you feel pain somewhere, I suffered YEARS and tried literally any stretching routine or yoga I could find but the only thing that helped was actually training muscles I never trained and exercises I never did.

    If f you train cardio in isolation, you can push your cardio endurance beyond what is possible when focusing on a ball at the same time. This results in playing with a ball in game time being so much easier. To be comfortable playing with a ball when under cardiovascular stress requires you to train beyond what you would need in a normal game. Has the professor ever done a ball sport?

      Yes but for example for football this would be sprinting and running. I don't think Mike would object to a football player doing cardio specific work. However this cardio specific work also has tremendous carry over to what they actually do on the field. Lebron should do cardio that helps him play basketball like jumping, running or even doing intense drills with a ball. These will heavily tax your cardiovascular system while having a direct transfer to your performance in the field.

      Hey I am in the same boat.
      The closest thing I've come to learn is that as you train you gain the ability to recruit more motor units and therefore more muscle fibres in a given muscle group.
      Which is why you see a lot of newbies gain significant amount of strength when starting out without really increasing much muscle mass just yet.
      One youve stopped training, your ability to recruit these motor units doesnt not dissipate at all or atleast as fast as you losing the muscle mass. Which means when you restart training, they are much more effective and effecient as youre able to recruit more of the fibres you already have, thus increasing potential muscle gain.
      I am ofcourse not 100% certain of this, but it does make sense.

    Dr. Mike! You said that stretching after a workout has no benefit for recovery, but if our goal is to gain flexibility (say for example to be able to do the splits) isn't it the ideal time to do that? Deep stretching before a workout seems to have a negative effect, but when is the best time for a positive effect on both our normal workout and the goals regarding flexibility.
