Strength Training Manual: Prescription – Part 1
By Mladen Jovanovic on 30/06/2019Before diving deep into the planning section, it is important to understand the basis of the percent-based approach to strength training, particularly what these percentages are based upon, how to test 1RM and prescribe a training while using it as a reference point, how to compare individuals and other topics.

Strength Training Manual: Exercises – Part 2
By Mladen Jovanovic on 11/06/2019In this part, I will continue the discussion on exercise classification and introduce the slot concept, functional units, and very useful conversion tables and matrix. Conversion matrix is very useful heuristic tool to figure out approximate 1RM of the assistance exercises.

Strength Training Manual: Exercises – Part 1
By Mladen Jovanovic on 01/06/2019What is the point of exercise classification? To impress girls with differentiating between exercises for the long and short head of the biceps muscle? To pass the biomechanics class exam? None of this, of course. The purpose of classification is not to create a place of things, but a forum for action.

Rethinking Performance Training & Agile Periodization – Part 1
By Mladen Jovanovic on 17/02/2019In the following video series I will share my current philosophy of performance training and Agile Periodization. The first episode deals with the concepts of Quality, Rate Limiters, Interventions and three levels of analysis: phenomenological, performance and physiological.
