1. Hardware Vs Software Development.

Many programs focus on getting more out of the existing hardware.
This is like training snatch TECHNIQUE to a world class level while only being able to back squat bodyweight.
It doesn’t matter how good the technique is if the structure isn’t there to lift the weight.
 
You can’t flex bone.
Tendon strength is the limit for muscle strength.
People who play volleyball or do tricking will often progress well in weightlifting because they have a foundation of tendon strength and the ability to switch on the nervous system very fast.
 
Both systems must be developed but if they software outpaces the hardware then injury risk will always be very high.
If the hardware is ahead of the ability to put the physical structures to use then injury risk will be low.

  1. Charles Poliquin had the best system of hardware development and his athletes won many medals.
  1. If you send 15 year old to play rugby against 12 year olds the 12 year olds get hurt.
  1. You can’t flex bone.
  1. Injury is the biggest barrier to elite performance.
  1. The body is always protecting itself from injury by using less than maximal muscle contractions.
  1. Reaction time has very low trainability.
  1. Muscle gain and fat loss can often be optimised significantly.
  1. Athletes will often gain 300-500% strength in going from untrained to world-class.
