More solid questions coming in this week, and covering a good spectrum too.
I’m also getting the hang of things on Instagram Live, and the supporting images work better this week – my head doesn’t get in the way for a start!
In this second episode of the Q&A I’m asked…
- Tiger Balm vs Namman Muay Oil
- Solving shoulder pain when performing pull ups (palms away)
- If the focus of the block is strength, what should the Conditioning be like?
- If you had two training sessions per day, what type of training would you do?
- Do you think bodyweight is enough for strength training?
- What are your top principles when it comes to S&C for Muay Thai?
- Can you replace shuttle runs with 5k runs if you have no fight coming up?
- What protocols would you use to maximise greater Motor Unit recruitment?
- Favourite GPP (General Physical Preparedness) work on an out of (fight) camp block?
All those links will take you to the relevant section of the YouTube video version of the Q&A if you want to jump straight to a point of interest.
If you’re on a mobile device and a vertical IGTV version is your preferred option…
