  • FREE courses you should take/watch

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 23/07/2014

    These are couple of free (some are not, but it is cheap to buy/rent DVD) courses every human, scientist, manager should see. Not directly related to coaching and training, but provides great ‘complementary’ knowledge and tools. It is also great not to be sheep. I won’t be providing any review for any course – you will just need to...

  • Simplifying the Complex – Interviewed by Ron McKeefery

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 19/07/2014

    Simplifying the Complex – Interviewed by Ron McKeefery I had a pleasure to be interviewed by Ron McKeefery for his Iron Game Chalk Talk show in late June. We had touched a lot of topics and I have enjoyed sharing my thoughts and chatting with Ron. Here is the video interview: I am not very happy the way I explained...

  • How to load inverted row?

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 11/07/2014

    I usually do the same setup for loaded ring push-ups (great exercise for upper body horizontal push btw), so I was wondering will this work. The key is to use higher box (bench won't work) and set up the rings a bit higher, with the goal of creating more space between you and the ground. It is also easier...

  • Blast from the past

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 08/07/2014

    Blast From the Past These are the two old articles I wrote in 2005 and 2006. Yes I know, time flies. The Overview of Periodization Methods for Resistance Training was published on EliteFTS (I think couple of times) and was nominated for article of the year (have no clue what happened with that). Unfortunately, that article is lacking pictures...

  • Couple Ideas to Make AMS Products Better

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 06/07/2014

    Couple Ideas to Make AMS Products Better Here are couple of ideas/random thoughts to make Athlete Management Software (e.g SMARTABASE, EDGE10) better. AMS should be simple as possible. If one can’t use it, if it takes too much time to learn it, or it is not intuitive, then what’s the point? Bragging on how much you paid for it?...

  • The Problems of National Team Training and the Solution

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 03/07/2014

    First off let me be clear – I have never been involved in national team preparation. Nevertheless, I would like to pinpoint to some issues that I believe are troublesome.

  • Planning the in-season Microcycle in Soccer Part 6: In-season Strength Training for Soccer

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 28/06/2014

    I will jump straight to the case – with soccer players it is far more important to make them go regularly to the gym and to perform basic compound lifts than it is about some fancy exercises and set & rep schemes. It is about building habit, team culture and trust in the strength program.

  • How to Create Individualized Exercise Profile in Strength Training Part 5

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 24/06/2014

    What’s the point behind using START and STOP velocities to prescribe strength training instead of using percentages and reps (or rep ranges) and even RPE system? Is the complexity worth it? What do we gain?

  • How to Create Individualized Exercise Profile in Strength Training? Part 4: Velocity/Exertion Profile

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 20/06/2014

    In the previous installment we dealt with creation of individualized rep-max profile. In this part we will deal with one concept that I like to call Velocity/Exertion.

    I am pretty sure NO ONE has ever written about it before – nor in books, nor in research papers, nor it online blogs and forums (if someone did, please correct me).

  • How to Create Individualized Exercise Profile in Strength Training? Part 3: Rep-Max Profile

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 16/06/2014

    In the previous installment we dealt with analysis of progressive 1RM test, and we got Load/Velocity profile. One thing that is important from Load/Velocity profile, from velocity-based strength training standpoint is MVT, or minimal velocity threshold, which seems to be pretty similar between athletes and ‘within’ athlete (i.e. over time for a single athlete).
