Coach’s Notes: In the Sport of Fitness, there are two issues that happen with a lot of traditional strength or endurance protocols. One, the athlete does a lot of strength work, and they don’t know how to breathe and brace at the same time when tired, or two, they do a lot of endurance work and then they lack the rigidity and tension needed for a big lift when the time comes. This type of work is an excellent way to balance this problem and teach yourself to be good at both.
