Rehab and Conditioning Specialist from the UK; Claire Minshull. Claire has been apart of 30 plus research papers (including a PHD), most of which were in Strength and Conditioning. Her website; www.getbacktosport.com has many great blogs and courses about strength and conditioning. Claire also has personal experience not just as a researcher and clinician but on the other side of the fence as a successful sportsperson/power lifter and a patient(having had to under go two back surgical procedures herself). Today we go over the definition of strength training, scheduling, periodisation, the neuro-physiological effect of strengthening and common mistakes and misconceptions when it comes to strength training.
