Hey everyone, thanks for tuning into Power Athlete Radio.

So this show has me really jazzed.

PhD student Rachel Larson is here to discuss internal and external focus in training.

If you're doing any kind of performance training, this applies to you. How you

think about moving a load or achieving a lift can depend on your focus, meaning if you are thinking

about how your muscles should be contracting and coordinating and working together, you've got

an internal focus. If you're thinking about a metaphor or a performance metaphor for the task

you're performing, like in a bench press, you might be thinking about shoving or a performance metaphor for the task you're performing,

like in a bench press, you might be thinking about shoving away an opponent.

You are thinking externally.

The exciting thing is that there is some very compelling research pointing to one being more advantageous than the other.

Larson is on the cutting edge of this research, and she is here to share it with us. This is episode 307.

Our Athlete Nation, it's that time for another episode of the premier podcast

and strength and conditioning.

I didn't get an ing out of that guy.

Ining, ing, ing.

This is Luke, co-host, Power Athy Radio.

Tex, co-host, Powerathy.

I'd like to introduce to our featured guest today, John Wal-Workman.

Never gets old for me.

Obviously not. It's only been a few hundred episodes, and he's still a lot of every time. I just can't wait. I mean, it's kind of like Texas quaff. It just never gets old. That's right. Oh, baby. Oh, baby. He, oh, baby's his own quaff. I don't even know if that's legal. It's called bounce bounce guys. Ladies. The last time I saw a quaff like that, it was in Flokka Seagals. And those of you guys listening right now, go to the Google and enter Flocka Seagull's hair, and you'll see what Texas hair looks like. If you don't enter hair, you're just going to get a big picture of a bunch of seagulls. So it'll be a wasted Google search. What would be Flokic Eagles' number one song, like most memorable song? When you say it, I'll know it, but I can't recall it off time. Are they take on me? No, that's aha. Isn't it ran? Like, I ran so far away. Oh, is that what it is? I know the song. Yeah. And I ran. Ladies and gentlemen, speak of running. No, so far away. No, wait. This episode, text went out of date yesterday. Oh, boom. Run far away. No, we're talking about the speed cycle. No, no text. Feel strong. First and foremost, this episode of Power Athlete Radio is brought to you by Power Athlete Radio.
