You're listening to Squat University by Dr. Aaron Horshick.

Let's go!

Now, let's start the show.

Podcast listeners, thank you so much for checking out today's show.

This is episode 80 of the Squat University podcast.

The goal with each and every one of these shows

is to bring you as much value-pat content to help you move better in the gym and in life, decrease your

aches and pains and help you reach your true athletic potential. On today's podcast, I got the

opportunity to sit down for a second time with weightlifting coach Travis Mash.

One of the cool parts of today's conversation was the topic of post-activation potentiation.

Now, if you've never heard this phrase before, don't worry.

While it sounds really scientific, here's the basic premise.

If you lift something heavy, your body remembers that lift for a brief period of time.

And during the very next lift, you perform directly after, your nervous system will recruit more fibers, allowing you to produce more power and more efficient technique.

So obviously, this training idea can have massive implications when it comes to training programming in our pursuit of lifting big weight.

Now, we discussed this theory along with many other topics related to training.

Travis's recent venture back to school to pursue his doctorate, starting a new weightlifting

program, and many more topics.

So without further ado, let's get to today's show.

Travis, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day right now to come on

the Squat University podcast.
