Fred Hatfield — the Jimmy Hendrix of Strength and Conditioning — way ahead of his time. He’s aways been an in-the-trenches sports scientist. Such wealth of knowledge.
Indeed! He’s the real deal.
Thank you very much for this podcast!
I have a question for the next episode about conditioning. I became very interested in this type of training recently in addition to y regular strength training. Specifically, I am trying to improve my VO2 max (full body, not per kg) and overall endurance.
I have been doing HIIT with different types of activities (sprints, rope battling and burpees worked best, better then kettlebells, for example). I also target 180 HR+. However, I have found that:
1. It’s very hard to remain in 180+ for a long time
2. It takes much longer to recover to 120 HR (a minute is not sufficient, but I would love to have rest interval to be shorter than work interval).
So, it would be incredibly interesting if Dr. Fredrick could outline in as much detail as possible the program (so one could replicate it) he used to get athletes to remain in 180+ longer AND recover to 120 HR faster.
What was the protocol, what was the activities used, how work/rest intervals changed over time – how progression was outlined, how many times per week this training was done, what was doe to ensure that this conditioning does not interfer with recovery from strength training, etc. If this program was already outlined in one of the books, could you please tell which one?
Thank you very much!
