#365 - Training for longevity: A roundtable on strength, injury prevention, protein, women and youth athletes
The Peter Attia Drive - Gabrielle Lyon, Mike Boyle, Jeff Cavaliere
Some very interesting opinions from very experienced coaches.
my takeaways
Some of the top coaches in America (like the guy who invented the NFL combine) having some great discussion about athletes and training.
My biggest takeaway from this episode though? That they don't allow their top level athletes to back squat. They have a big discussion about humans training as intended as bipedal beings - and that single leg strength can match 90% of both legs, and that the sheer force on the spine of a back squat makes it not worth the risk.
