Had the chance to jump on the podcast to talk about training for BMX Freestyle and my time working with the team. We covered what actually moved the needle, what didn’t, and how I think about balancing strength, power, and on-bike demands in a sport that never really has an off-season. I also shared what I learned the hard way and where I think performance prep for freestyle needs to evolve next.

If you work in action sports or coach athletes in year-round competition cycles, this one’s for you 🎙️🚲 Let me know what stood out or what you’re seeing in your own program.

Mark your calendars because the new schedule is out! I mean that literally, because none of my athletes ever put it in their calendars when they’re going to compete.🤦‍♂️

The schedule looks good, and I look forward to helping , , and get ready for them.

I just finished reading the book Notational Analysis of Sport (Second Edition), edited by Mike Hughes and Ian M. Franks. It is a great book if you really want to nerd out on how to analyze sports that seem as if the judging can't be cracked.

This book really made me think in a lot more detail about:
1. Runs and what specifically to look for
2. What the judges say they judge on
3. How to create spreadsheets comparing different run metrics and final scores to understand what is actually being judged

I made a short little info chart to describe each chapter and help people understand it a little bit more. If you have any questions about it, just shoot me a message!

Posting a quick redirect for anyone who found me here from the podcast or a share. My main work lives on LinkedIn, and that’s where I post the sports science and performance breakdowns for BMX and other lifestyle sports. If you want the deeper stuff (testing, monitoring, KPIs, training decisions), head to LinkedIn and get caught up: brianroybmxfreestyle actionsports

This headline isn’t wrong—but it’s definitely not new. I first learned this approach over a decade ago from , who credits for leading the way on conditioning structure. I’ve taken Joel’s BioForce Conditioning course, and it goes deep into energy systems and how to program them effectively.

What’s missing from the post is the nuance:
➡️ Low-intensity conditioning (like cardiac output or Zone 2) should be separated from strength days.
➡️ But high-intensity intervals? Those can often be paired with lifting since the heart rate zones and energy demands are more aligned.

You don’t need a PhD to train well—but understanding the why behind your structure makes a big difference in your long-term progress.

Taking it all in at the Olympic Performance Summit 🇺🇸📘

Grateful to be here at the Olympic Training Center, surrounded by some of the best minds in high-performance sport. The sessions, the people, the energy, this is the kind of environment that pushes you to grow.

Loving the conversations and insights so far. Let’s keep raising the standard.

Soccer Lesson Workout 🏋️

• 5 Bent Over Rows (110lb sandbag)
• 3 High Pulls (110lb sandbag)
• 2 Over-the-Shoulder Toss (110lb sandbag)
• 20-yard Shoulder Carry (each side)
• 3 x 5-yard Sprints
Rest 1 minute, repeat for 45 minutes

While Harry’s at his soccer lesson, I use the time to get my own workout in. I usually grab one or two pieces of equipment—like a sandbag or kettlebell—and put together a simple, fun circuit. Then I just keep it going for the length of his session. It doesn’t have to be fancy—just consistent. Let me know what equipment you have and when you have your down time and I’ll give you some ideas.

Out of all the equipment in my home gym—specialty bars, plates, dumbbells, and more—the two pieces I keep coming back to are the kettlebell and the sandbag. Don’t get me wrong, I love barbell training, and it’s a big part of what I do. But some days, setting up for a full session just isn’t in the cards. On those days, it’s simple and effective to grab a preloaded tool and get to work.

We often get caught up in chasing perfect programs, wave loading cycles, and “optimal” approaches. And while those things absolutely have their place, sometimes the most valuable thing you can do is show up and do something. Whether it’s a few rounds with a kettlebell or moving a sandbag around the garage, it’s about staying consistent—even if it’s not the hardest or most structured session of the week.

At the end of the day, progress doesn’t always have to be complicated. If you’re doing a little more over time, you’re moving in the right direction. And sometimes, giving yourself permission to take the simple route is what helps you keep showing up.

Old Books, Timeless Training

Lately, I’ve been diving into old training books and finding new techniques that have been around for decades. This one is special—it’s the first book ever written on circuit training.

I found it in an antique bookstore in England, and it’s fascinating to see how circuit training was originally developed to improve fitness after the war, conditioning young men in schools. What I love about these older books is how simple and effective the training is—just basic gymnastics, weightlifting, and no fluff.

Sometimes, the best training methods aren’t new. They’re just waiting to be rediscovered.

Had a great time at The ABCs (and Fs) of Strength Training workshop with Dan John at Original Strength. Not only did he help me fine-tune some key details in programming straight from his book, but he was also exactly how he comes across on his podcast—genuine, insightful, and easy to learn from.

Always great to learn from someone who’s been in the game for so long and still keeps it simple, effective, and practical. Big thanks to Dan and the team at Original Strength for hosting such a solid event!
