Thanks to our friends on Elitetrack.com we have more Guru Gotcha moments with this Santa Claus training program.

I am not sure if Coach Dos is getting ready for Reindeer Combine training after the holidays but this nonsense is an example of what I call entertrainment. Entertrainment is

I just realized this is the same guy who defined work capacity as follows:
# Core strength
# Muscular endurance
# Aerobic and anaerobic capacity
# Body composition (% body fat)
# Joint mobility (range of motion, durability)I am not sure what body composition or core strength have to do with work capacity.

wasn’t Dos strength coach of the year or some shit?
From his website:
Coach Dos is also the 2006 recipeint of the National Strength and Conditioning’s prestigious Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Professional of the year for 2006. This award is given to the top collegiate strength coach in the country (as voted on by his peers). In addition to contributing to Men’s Health on a regular basis, Coach Dos’ first book Men’s Health Power Training (Rodale Books) will be released in July 2007.

does anyone have a video of a person sled dragging with the maximum weight before form breaks down. Basically a video of proper heavy sled dragging (without form breaking down)? Im assuming this would still have under 10% of bodyweight
The 8-10% rule of speed is more important. Load is too “strength coach” minded. When you slow down to 90% speed the weight is likely to be enough.

This specific topic was covered in the latest NSCA Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research:
Keogh et al. Kinematic Alterations Due to Different Loading Schemes in Early Acceleration Sprint Performance From Starting Blocks10% BM load (Jakalski) may be more beneficial than 20%BM load, however, more research needs to be done.
Certainly, the loads used in the video were laughable, considering RFD, technique, amortization…could go on. Rediculous. I’ve seen this done by MMA Strength Coaches also, but someone training HS boys for speed acceleration should know better.
