Oftentimes I think strength and conditioning gets lumped into a category of random stimulus that someone did “back in there day”
And since they were “relatively” successful, they believe it must’ve been the random exercises or conditioning that helped them be successful.
I’ve seen athletes be successful despite bad training but, I think it often gets confused as to why the athlete is successful.
If you go to a gym, or you go to do conditioning and just randomly apply a training stimulus with no sort of process or understanding of what the stimulus is providing, how much to do, and what we are actually getting out of it.
YOU’RE WASTING YOUR TIME.
To improve force, the rate at which you create force, get faster, be quicker, more powerful, there has to be a systematic approach to what stimulus, how much, and consistently do it with high intent to see any sort of progress.
You might still be relatively successful at your sport, but it wasn’t because of your random training stimulus that made you tired and sore.
