Questions, ideas and the silly debunked by Marcus Smith from Innerfight Gym.
And when you get the thumbs up from Marcus you know you are on the right track for sure.
What I love about this show is that we get to approach the questions people don't want to ask because they are worried they will make them sound stupid, so we ask!

Dubai Fitness Challenge is a wrap!
-Achillies injury/calf 2 weeks no running! Urrrrr, elliptical may be ok and that just means other exercises

What you can learn from an injury
-Q Marcus my trainer tells me I need to do exercises I don’t really care for because they give good balance is this true?
-Q what is the core exactly?
-Q I want to build upper body muscle do I need to invest a fortune or can the equipment I might need at home be affordable?
-Marcus can you walk us through the conversations you have about strength vs bulking up?
-I was reading about progression and regression being at the core of good training regimes, what is that all about?

Progressions and regressions are the building blocks of long term athletic development. It is vital for a coach to adjust the training protocol through exercise selection in order to allow the athlete to slowly and properly progress their abilities both in the strength room and on the field.
Progressions and regressions can help to develop balance, coordination, mobility and sport specific abilities. As an athlete develops their strength, in eccentric, isometric and concentric ranges of motion, balance and coordination will intrinsically be developed, especially when starting from easy to more challenging; such as progressing from a split squat, to a rear foot elevated split squat, to a dynamic lunge variation.
Once these abilities are developed, an athlete can be progressed from a more GPP (General Physical Preparedness) goal, to a more specialized SPP (Specific Physical Preparedness) goal. For younger athletes, many parents of athletes request that a coach train sport specific movements with their children, but they fail to understand that in order for sport-specific movements to benefit them, they require a base level of strength, power, mobility, and motor control.
