Today’s podcast features strength coach and sport scientist John Wagle. John is an expert in eccentric loading, periodization, muscle structure and many other aspects of athletic performance. Today we are going to dig into the relationships between various training methods and physiological outcomes. In other words, we are talking about how various barbell exercises affect the actual structure of the muscles themselves, and how this can fit in with exercise selection, planning, and the tapering process. Dr. John P. Wagle is a fellow in the Sport Physiology and Performance program at East Tennessee State University. He serves as the Strength & Conditioning Coach and Sport Scientist for ETSU baseball. Additionally, Wagle assists Dr. Brad DeWeese in training Olympic Training Site athletes. Previously, John was the director of sports performance at DePaul University. Ever since I started the process of training myself as an athlete, and eventually coaching others, I’ve always thought about the benefits and potential drawbacks of various exercises, as well as how to sequence these movements based on this dynamic. For today’s episode, John will go in depth on why muscle architecture is an important factor to look at in training, and how barbell and supramaximal barbell training impact this architecture. John is an expert on eccentric loading for athletic performance training, so he goes in detail on how weight releasers impact the rest of the set when the first rep is extremely heavy. We’ll also cover the impact of full versus partial range work, as well as some fine points of cluster training and finally touch briefly on jump testing and monitoring.
