Stop counting reps. Start measuring physics. Episode 8 BioInsights with Dr. Juris and Coach Aller

Stop counting reps. Start measuring physics. In this episode, Dr. Paul Juris (PhD in biomechanics, former Director of Science and Research at Cybex, biomechanics consultant to the NBA, PGA, and NFL) breaks down why sets and reps are one of the noisiest measurements in training, and what to track instead. We cover: Why "3x10" tells you almost nothing about training quality Work is force times distance. Intensity is tolerance, not just a percentage of your 1RM. Why unilateral loading can match a bilateral lift's muscle activation at a fraction of the spinal load, and what that means if you're training past 50 How to start thinking in work and power without owning a force plate If you coach, train, or run a facility, this episode will change how you write a program.
