Today we have Dr. John Rusin on the line. John is a strength coach and physical therapist that blends both models into a high performance clinic in Madison Wisconsin. A few topics we covered were the hybrid model for strength and physical therapy, his preferred assessment and evaluation tools, hypertrophy training for injury prevention, and CrossFit.
Here are a couple videos of John performing the Accentuated Eccentrics we discussed in the audio interview. Key points: 4-5 seconds on the eccentric portion of the lift. Keep rep ranges 3x8-12 reps.
