Description

Hi everyone, My name is Mike Zourdos and I am an Assistant Professor of Exercise Science and Florida Atlantic University. I received my Ph.D. in Exercise Physiology from The Florida State University in 2012. I also coached the FSU Powerlifting team at FSU. My research is most known for exploring the concept of Daily Undulating Periodization (DUP) and optimizing training program design. Additionally, I compete in the USAPL in the 74 and 83kg classes and design training programs for bodybuilders and powerlifters through the “DUP Training Revolution.”DUP (Daily Undulating Periodization) Models: Have you ever wondered how to sequence your training day? Which should be heavy? Which should be light? What role does power training have in strength sports? Dr Michael Zourdos will answer those questions and others in his presentation on DUP Models. He will present information that is grounded in real science and tempered with the experience of a successful coach. Learning how to use Daily Undulating Periodization in your training will help improve it’s effectiveness and get you back to setting PR’s.Planning a Training Cycle: Many people conduct poorly planned training — not for lack of knowledge, but for lack of process. In this presentation, Mike Tuchscherer will walk you through the process he uses to custom build training programs for Team RTS athletes. This presentation will focus less on periodization theory and models which is often hard to apply, but instead will focus on how to put those models and theories into practice.Applying Science to Attempt Selection: All the strength in the world doesn’t matter if you can’t display it on the platform. Multi-time international US team coach Matt Gary will show you the best ways to make sure your strength is displayed when it counts. His claims are thoroughly backed up by hours and hours of painstaking statistical research. Applying the lessons presented here is the easiest and most direct way to make an immediate positive impact on your total!Daily Maximal Squatting: Daily maximal training has had a resurgence in popularity in recent years. But is it really a valid method or is it just industry hype? Dr Mike Zourdos will share his personal experiences with daily maximum squatting (with many streaks lasting more than 90 days in a row). Additionally, he will provide his expert opinion on the rationale of it’s benefits and limitations. Special attention will be given to what the current body of scientific evidence suggests as well.http://forum.reactivetrainingsystems.com/archive/index.php/t-1122.html
