THANKS!!! • Joe Dowdell and his PEAK Staff! • All my mentors, friends, and influences in this biz…..too many to list • My wife Francine and my daughter Annabella (you’ll meet her later…) • All of you for being here and feeling that listening to me might be a worthwhile experience!
My Background…. • Former D1 Football athlete @ University of California, Berkeley • MA in Kinesiology from California State University, Northridge • CSCS Since 1990 • CSCCa certified strength coach • NSCA Collegiate S&C coach of the year in 2006 • Head S&C coach at College of the Canyons, CA since 1998 • Men’s Health Power Training (Rodale Books) & Cardio Strength Training (Rodale Books) • Coachdos.com Premium site started in 2010
What is my job?? • Build Better Athletes….. • Build better PEOPLE! • There is a BIGGER picture than getting Bigger, Stronger, Faster….getting a scholarship etc. MUCH BIGGER PICTURE • “Coaches Elevate” – Brian Grasso-
Program Design 101… • “Needs Analysis” • Checklist : Strength, Power, Sport-speed, reactivity, lean body mass, fat loss, energy system training • Injury Preventon? As opposed to injury promotion?? • Functional Training? As opposed to DYSFUNCTIONAL Training??
“Pain and Anguish is an amazing glue that bond people together”
Do you need to have played/competed in the sport/activity in order to train the athlete? • Nope….but you sure as heck better know the sport demands!
Training Session Components: • Mobility/ Activation – Foam roll, TGU’s • Complex warm-up – Bar Complex • Olympic Lift variation – Clean/Snatch variation, Explosives • Strength Training – Full-body, push/pull • Core – Rotational/anti, stabilization, dynamic • Finisher – anaerobic circuits, specific running • Stretch – Band self-stretch
You better have a TRAINING PHILOSOPHY! • The Foundation…Bedrock of your training programs • Don’t confuse this with your training techniques and tools • WORK CAPACITY….BUILD BULLET PROOF ATHLETES!
Your ‘Toolbox’ • If you haven’t used a specific tool in your toolbox during your last couple of training cycles, throw it out. • Don’t be a DABBLER!
Hey Dos….are you a • Olympic lifting guy ??? • Kettlebell guy ??? • TRX guy ??? • Sandbag guy ??? • _________ (insert tool of your choice) guy ??? YES!
As stolen from Alwyn Cosgrove…..He just says shit better than me. Sigh 1. Body weight before external resistance 2. Train to the 5th Power This is a concept I learned from Juan Carlos Santana – basically it refers to the following. a) Train in a standing position, GROUND BASED b) Train with free weights (destabilized). c) Use Multiple Joints (the kinetic CHAIN is natural d) Train with explosiveness e) Train functionally - train movements not muscle groups. 3. Train unilaterally and multi-planar 4. Use all primary methods to develop strength 5. Variation 6. Avoid mimicking skills 7. Train with Balance • Balance between motor qualities • Balance between movement patterns (e.g. horizontal push-pull) 8. Focus on Rate of Force Development. 9. Train the antagonists Think about it – how fast would you drive your car if you knew your brakes were not working at their best? 10. Use Undulating Periodization
Weekly: • Knee Dom = 18 • Hip Dom = 5 • Upper Push = 19 • Upper Pull = 5 • Bilateral = 44 • Unilateral = 0
Weekly: • Knee Dom = 9 • Hip Dom = 3 • Upper Push = 13 • Upper Pull = 4 • Bilateral = 43 • Unilateral = 0 • *single joint = 9
Weekly: • Forget about it…
Actual Rugby training Intro quotes, written by a D1 S&C coach…. • At a minimum, the following exercises should be performed. The emphasis is on upper body strength since all of the running involved will work the lower body a lot. Still, some strength and flexibility training of the lower body should be included. • Choose a weight with which you can perform at least 8 reps and no more than 12. If you cannot do 8, go on to the next exercise and remember to pick a lower weight next time. If you can lift more than 12, move on and next time pick a higher weight. All lifts are done to a count of TWO TO LIFT, a count of FOUR TO LOWER. The goal is to reach "momentary muscular failure," that is that you cannot lift any more weight without resting. Move immediately to the next exercise. YOU NEED ONLY TO PERFORM ONE SET PER TRAINING PERIOD. • As a general rule, the Offseason is the only time you will see significant strength gains. In the Preseason and Inseason periods there are too many other activities going on and too many nagging little injuries for you to concentrate on strength. Encourage your players to continue weight training in the Offseason and you will see a stronger, fitter team come next season.

Training in 2011: How I got here… • Linear vs. Undulating Periodization…. • My evolution… • Linear 1989-2004* • 2005-present…..“Alternating linear” Periodization • *2004 won JC National Championship in football…only team to ever go 14-0 in JC history. • SO WHY CHANGE?!?!
It all started with a simple question… Al Vermeil: “Dos do you think you may have over-trained your football players using this training system?” Dos: “what do you mean? We won every single game…threw 2 shutouts in the playoffs! Pfffft…” ……then the 2nd guessing started.
Where are all the isolation / single joint exercises? • In the shitty programs… • In non-real world programs (internet)… • In OLD programs (non-conforming conformists)…
Lifting sessions at a glance… • Average 15-20 sets per session • Typical sessions run 35-50 min depending on size of group • Intensity is HIGH • NO SLOW CONCENTRICS! • Tempo is FAST • Focus is MANDATORY
Some Video…. • Men’s basketball “Combo” Full body • Football Push • Football Pull • Baseball Modified Full-Body • Volleyball Modified Full-Body (low volume) • Golf Full-Body • Volleyball “Finisher” • Coachdos.com 1-year review!
