Mark Bennett, a strength and conditioning coach with extensive experience in rugby and other sports, discusses his training philosophy and approach.
He emphasizes the importance of considering all aspects of training within the same plan, from maximal force output to endurance.
Bennett believes in using strength training as a tool to drive adaptations, such as increased neural drive and cross-sectional area of type 2 fibers.
He advocates for block periodization, focusing on one or two specific adaptations at a time, and using complex training or contrast training to maintain muscle mass while developing explosive strength.
