Chad Trudo: The Director of Strength & Conditioning at Aurora University

Another round with my fitness consigliere, Chad Trudo. We had all the intentions of breaking down a newly published research article on the topic of countermovement jump performance. However, many tangental conversations occurred, that in my mind were much more usable and fundamental in the world of exercise and strength & conditioning. Chad and I dove into banter on the topic of neuromuscular fatigue with tools to assess and understand the data and how to apply the information to your advantage. Yes, the countermovement jump was a topic covered in the discussion, but the use of force plate and force plate data was specific to the research paper... not so usable to the everyday person. Ultimately, the underlying theme of our discussion revolved around the need for mastery of the basics and building a physical foundation that creates a bullet-proof body ready for anything. Tune into the full episode to get all of Chad's wisdom.
