In this episode, the creator of Jump Science - Daniel Back - joins me to talk strength training for athletic development.

Coach Back shares with us why the back squat will improve both explosive + athletic movements like no other weight room exercise and why it's superior to the front squat or unilateral training as the 'primary lift'.

That doesn't mean other lifts aren't important - they are. And coach Back outlines how to use other exercises to not only maximize performance, but to improve structure and prevent injuries.

Beyond that, we discuss long-term adaptations to training, how to train while you're still playing your sport a lot and the reasons behind his daily stretching routines.

It's an episode you really don't want to miss!
