142: Dr. Michael Yessis on High Transfer Strength and Skill Building for Sport Performance | Sponsored by SimpliFaster - a podcast by Joel Smith, Just-Fly-Sports.com

Today’s episode features Dr. Michael Yessis, Soviet sport science expert, creator of the 1x20 training system, and internationally renowned expert on sports training and biomechanics.



On this podcast, we’ve had plenty of coaches who have talked about the 1x20 strength training system and the results it has brought them.  Being 142 episodes into the show, I figured it would be great to go straight to the creator of the system and talk about its’ origins, intentions and implementation.



The 1x20 system itself is incredibly simple to carry out, but there are a few important features that are important to understand to get maximal benefit. 



As important as it is to get stronger, it’s also important to keep it all in context of what actually makes a great athlete.  Dr. Yessis has created a simple system that gets athletes strong in a hurry, but he also knows that being the strongest athlete on the team doesn’t mean you are the best!  In that sense, Dr. Yessis gives us lots of helpful insights on how to help a training program really transfer to the skills needed for sport success.



On today’s show, Dr. Yessis gives us great insight on the advantages of moderate intensity efforts in the weightroom, some important details on the 1x20 system and its’ effectiveness, as well as in-season training, special strength and plyometric ideals.
