This article was on the wall at a school I used to lift at. Glad to have a copy. :) Thanks.

Here's a quote from his website: "In the last couple of months I’ve been heavily experimenting with the use of “tempo intervals” in the training programs of various athletes. Popularized by the late...

I've got quite a bit of experience with MMA, and with the training. I know one of GSP's training partners, and trust me, MMA fighters in 2012 know how to train. What you see on TV isn't necessarily...

If you want to get a book, get either The Charlie Francis Training System, or Key Concepts Elite. I'd recommend the GPP DVD as well.

-You need to start out by making a timetable for when you are...

What are you doing for training at the moment? How old are you? Male/Female? The more details you give to the forum, the more we can help with your training.

Less injury? How about less weight and full squats, then progress over time. Everybody wants their way to be special. Sigh.

Wow. Bitter jealous mean girls much? If they have a problem, they should get better agents or managers. The media is all about making money. Lolo had something people were interested in and the media...

Here's the video of the picture (no longer on the website) that Charlie was referring to. Brandt Kamloops 2004 100m in 10.70 seconds

He was 16, and we...

Once it's done I'll post a link. :-)

I will yes. It may be a while though. I'm working on about 10 different articles. I'm reading a book now on prioritizing though so maybe I should focus on just one. :)

The gist of the article is...

A week hasn't gone by in the past 10 years where I haven't gone over Charlie's stuff. In the past month alone I've gone over the Vancouver 2002 and 2004 seminars (which I attended), the Al Vermeil,...

I agree in regards to over cueing an athlete. I've heard someone say "Think twice, speak once." I pull out the video about once per training session (up to 12 athletes at once in a session), and it...

The fwd/bkwd wheel at the bottom is what I like most about it because you can pinpoint the exact spot that the athlete needs to work on and show it to them over and over. As far as the tools is...

I've been using the Coach's Eye app. Similar to Ubersense (which I also have), but a bit better for giving feedback. The fwd/rwnd wheel at the bottom is what makes it so good....

Thanks Pioneer! It's for an article I'm writing called: 5 Reasons Track Coaches Make Great Trainers.

It was a coach from a team sport. That's all I can remember.

Who's the person that initially said this or made it popular?

I added it to the discussion, not because it's relevant to start mechanics, but to avoid blanket statements like, "hamstrings bend the knee, they don't extend it." Didn't mean to offend. :-)

In the CF Fundamentals 1: Speed & Strength video Charlie talks about Lombard's Paradox, where the hamstring, when it works on certain angles, becomes a knee extensor along with the quads.

This article addresses the puffy gym guy's comment "4. I need to change my form and starts telling me that I need to bench in a way that utilizes a "spring action.""...

The guy interviewing him asks him why he didn't run through the line since he was so close to the world record. Carl replies, "I didn't think I was...

Any technical criticisms? Is it just me or could Asafa tweak his arm mechanics a bit from 65m on. He looks a bit like he's pawing down (internal thumb rotation as opposed to an ever so slight...

That question is answered in the link I gave above. :)

Agreed. That is always the first reaction people have to any sort of feedback, but I don't think the door is completely closed in this instance for a few reasons. Firstly, he asked me for my...

I experienced "brain fog" for years and along with a few other things the doctors thought I might have MS. In the process of all this I discovered I was magnesium deficient. Basically when I take...
